Post-doc opportunity: Verification of Time/Resource Sensitive Safety Critical Systems using High Performance Computing
This post doctoral position offers the successful candidate the opportunity to be at the forefront in developing technology for safety critical systems targeting health services delivery. The motivational problems involve modeling and verifying workflow systems using innovative ontology-driven workflow management frameworks. Case studies will involve very large workflows for community-based health care programs. This is a 1 year contract with the possibility of extensions.
The candidate will have the opportunity to:
• work with researchers and graduate students in a large interdisciplinary R&D project led by Dr. Wendy MacCaull, at StFX University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, (see www.logic.stfx.ca);
• collaborate with our industry partners;
• work closely with a variety of health care professionals;
• collaborate and network with the Canadian Consortium in High Performance Computing, and researchers at universities across Canada;
• reside in a small town with an affordable lifestyle, close to beaches and scenic landscapes, with a thriving Academic and Arts community, in close proximity (2 hours) to a major metropolitan city.
This position is partially supported by the ACEnet (Atlantic Computational Excellence Network see www.ace-net.ca) Research Fellowships Program and by ACOA through the Atlantic Innovation Fund.
Qualifications:
- PhD in Computer Science and a strong background in formal methods or related area; knowledge and expertise in parallel and distributed computing is an asset;
- Desire and commitment to work on applied problems in a high performance computing environment;
- Ability to present information in English clearly, both in verbal and written formats;
- Enjoys working in a collaborative environment.
