[pakgrid] Job openings at Microsoft Jim Gray Systems Lab

 

The Microsoft Jim Gray Systems Lab (GSL) in Madison, Wisconsin has several open 
positions. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree in computer science and must have 
demonstrated an ability to conduct original, systems-focused research in the 
database field with publications in the proceedings of one or more of the major 
database conferences (SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, CIDR, and EDBT).

The Gray System Lab was opened in September 2008 and is located on the edge of 
the UW-Madison campus. In addition to the full time staff, the lab also houses eight 
UW graduate students who are supported by a grant from Microsoft to UW-
Madison, giving the lab more of an academic feeling than one typically finds in 
industry. In its short three and half year existence, this unique collaboration has 
resulted in over a dozen publications in premier database conferences and 
workshops (including some with a best paper award), and provides an effective way 
for GSL employees to lead and collaborate on new, cutting-edge research. Since the 
GSL is organizationally part of the Microsoft SQL Server Division, staff members 
have a unique opportunity for their research to have an immediate impact on the 
SQL Server and SQL Azure products.

We currently have several on-going projects in the areas of parallel database 
systems, advanced storage technologies such as flash and PCM, main-memory 
database systems, energy-aware database systems, and the design and 
implementation of database systems for multicore processors. Many of these 
projects involve a mix of full-time Microsoft employees (in Madison, Redmond, and 
L.A.), students, and faculty.

If your passion is designing and building database systems that push the state of the 
art, and you enjoy working on challenging research problems, please apply by 
sending a copy of your resume to Lynn McManus at lynnmc@microsoft.com
with a cc to Melody Bakken at melodyb@microsoft.com.

If you have questions about the positions or the lab please send mail to 
dewitt@microsoft.com. Questions can also be directed to Jeff Naughton 
(naughton@cs.wisc.edu) or Jignesh Patel (jignesh@cs.wisc.edu).
