[pakgrid] Fully-Funded PhD and Post-Doc Positions in Dynamic Analysis‏

 

 We are currently recruiting PhD students and a post-doc for research on the
"Foundations of Dynamic Analysis" in the FAN Swiss National Science 
Foundation Sinergia project between the University of Lugano and ETH 
Zurich. The positions include a competitive salary and generous support for
conference travel and equipment.


General Qualifications (apply to PhD and post-doc)

You need to:

* be really excited about our project
* be persistent (get back up and continue when things don't work out as 
planned -- true research rarely works out as planned)
* be fearless (e.g., be ok hacking a virtual machine, a compiler, a 
kernel, or implementing a complex algorithm)
* have a small child's attitude
(to want to understand and learn about everything they encounter)
* have an engineer's attitude (not to take the first solution that comes
to mind, but to look at the key alternatives)
* have a researcher's attitude (to want to truly understand something, 
and to not be satisfied with the first best explanation)
* want to look at the simple and obvious before exploring the 
complicated
* be able to focus
(to ignore the many other cool things one could also do)
* derive pleasure from coming up with a logical and clear argument or 
explanation
* like to read (books, papers, papers, papers)
* like to write (prospectus, proposal, dissertation, and papers)
* like to present (at conferences, or in class)
* like to convince others using sound arguments
* be ok working hard
* under-promise and over-deliver
* be happy staying in Switzerland for quite some time
* be ok traveling long distance from time to time 
(e.g., for conferences)

Qualifications for PhD Students

You need to:

* have (or soon receive) a Masters degree in computer 
science/engineering, informatics, or related fields
* be ok with assisting in teaching and in taking courses where needed
* be ok investing 3+ years as a "research apprentice" (aka PhD student)

Qualifications for PostDocs

You need to:

* have (or soon receive) a PhD degree in computer science/informatics
* have prior research experience in the areas of programming languages 
and/or software engineering
* have co-authored top-tier publications in conferences such as PLDI, 
OOSPLA, ECOOP, POPL, ASPLOS, CGO, SOSP, OSDI, NSDI, AOSD, ICSE, or FSE

How to Apply

Our application deadline is October 1, 2011. Application to our PhD and 
PostDoc positions is highly competitive. As part of the application 
process, you will have to pass a challenge which will take some effort to 
complete. The earlier you start with the application process, the better.
