The System and Network Engineering Lab (SNE) of the University of
<br>
Amsterdam invites applications for a fully funded PhD candidate
<br>
position in the area of programming languages and energy-aware
<br>
multi-core computing. The PhD candidate will be involved in the EU
<br>
Horizon-2020 collaborative research project TeamPlay (Time, Energy
<br>
and security Analysis for Multi/Many-core heterogenous PLAtforms)
and
<br>
work under the supervision of Dr Clemens Grelck and Dr Sebastian
<br>
Altmeyer.
<br>
<br>
The EU Horizon-2020 project TeamPlay brings together 11 academic and
<br>
industrial partners from across Europe to develop innovative
<br>
techniques that treat non-functional properties of multi-core
<br>
software, such as execution time, energy usage and security as
<br>
first-class citizens. The TeamPlay vision is to enable developers to
<br>
reason about the functional <b class="moz-txt-star"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>and<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>
the non-functional properties of their
<br>
software at the source code level and to create programs that
reflect on
<br>
their own execution time, energy consumption, etc. More information
on
<br>
the TeamPlay project can be found at <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.teamplay-h2020.eu">www.teamplay-h2020.eu</a>.
<br>
<br>
Within the TeamPlay vision the successful candidate will work on
novel
<br>
programming language abstractions, system-level coordination as well
<br>
as energy- and time-aware mapping and scheduling techniques that
<br>
together control the execution of componentised applications on
<br>
parallel and heterogeneous multi-core architectures under various
<br>
constraints.
<br>
<br>
This is a paid position as a staff member of the SNE Lab with all
<br>
advantages and privileges of the Dutch higher education sector!
<br>

The SNE Lab is part of the Informatics Institute (IvI), which has
<br>
consistently been ranked among the top 100 computer science
<br>
departments in the world. The University of Amsterdam is one of the
<br>
oldest universities in the Netherlands. Today it is the largest and
<br>
highest ranked Dutch university. The SNE Lab conducts research on
<br>
leading-edge computing systems across all scales, from global-scale
<br>
systems and networks to embedded devices. Our particular interest is
<br>
on extra-functional properties, such as performance, energy
consumption,
<br>
reliability, programmability, productivity, trust and security.
<br>
<br>
The appointment will be full-time (38 hours a week) for a period of
<br>
4 years (the initial employment is for 18 months). The salary is in
<br>

the final year (per month, before tax). Additional benefits such as
<br>
the 8% holiday bonus and the 8.3% end of year bonus result in
(almost)
<br>
14 effective salaries per year.
<br>
<br>
Come to work at one of Europe’s top universities and live in one of
<br>
Europe's most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities.
