*Research Scientist Positions in Real-Time and Embedded Systems*
The CISTER Research Centre is currently looking to strengthen its research
team in the RECOMP project on all levels: Senior Scientist, invited Scientist,
Post-Docs. Research grants are available.
*CONTEXT:*
Multicore processors have made their way into embedded systems and are about
to move into safety critical systems. The final hurdle for the latter is the
certification of multicores, which needs novel design approaches, as well as a
fresh look at certification strategies. RECOMP is a multinational research
project with several industry heavyweight partners, including Thales,
Honeywell, EADS, TUV, Infineon, to name but a few and a substantial set of
high quality SMEs and Research institutions, including the TU Braunschweig,
DTU and CISTER.
CISTER's work in the project focuses on real-time systems. Potential topic
areas to which you could contribute are
• Operating System work in terms of power monitoring and energy management
• Scheduling and schedulability analysis in multicore systems
• Temporal isolation approaches for multicores
• Real-Time analysis of reconfigurable hardware
• Hypervisors/operating system support for multicore systems
• Contract-based real-time components
More info on RECOMP can be found at http://atc.ugr.es/recomp/ and on CISTER at
http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt.
While the RECOMP project is considered the starting point a longer term
employment is envisaged. The successful candidate is expected to develop
his/her own independent research agenda, collaborate with other national and
international institutions as well as within the group, and contribute to PhD
student supervision.
*REQUIREMENTS:*
The candidate should have a PhD in Computer Science, Electrical and Computer
Engineering or related fields, with particular expertise in Real-Time
Computing Systems or Embedded Systems. The candidate should also have a strong
international publication record and demonstrated ability to do independent
research. Fluency in written and spoken English is required.
*SALARY, BENEFITS AND APPLICATION PROCEDURE:*
The salary will be dependent on the qualification of the candidate. Other
benefits include access to private health insurance, social security and 22
days of paid vacation. Informal contact prior to the formal application is
encouraged. So please contact Stefan M. Petters to learn about the application
procedure.
*BACKGROUND:*
CISTER (Research Centre in Real-Time Computing Systems), established in 1997,
is a top-ranked Research Unit based at the School of Engineering (ISEP) of the
Polytechnic Institute of Porto (IPP), Portugal. CISTER was, in the 2004 and
2007 national evaluation process, the only research unit in Portugal, in the
area of Electrical and Computer Engineering, to be awarded the highest rating
of "Excellent". This rating was awarded on account of an outstanding
publication record of its researchers, and CISTER is also considered to be one
of the leading European units in the area of Real-Time Computing and Embedded
Systems. CISTER is currently expanding, both in terms of research activities
as well as in facilities, with a new building which not only doubles the
current capacity of the centre, but also provides a better environment for
research, technology transfer, and networking activities.
