3 Fully funded PhD positions in Software Technology at Radboud 
University, Netherlands
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Software Technology group at Radboud University in Nijmegen, 
Netherlands, we are
looking for enthusiastic and outstanding Computer Science or Mathematics 
students with
a strong background in at least one of the following areas:
  * programming languages
  * compiler technology
  * code generation
  * runtime systems
  * High-Performance-Computing
  * Parallel Computing
to strengthen our group.

Our key driving force is the desire to combine programming language 
research with compiler
technology and code generation techniques for creating practically 
applicable software
tools. Our credo lies in HP3 technology: combining High-Productivity, 
High-Portability,
and High-Performance.

Long-term projects driven by our group include the Clean project 
(clean.cs.ru.nl), the SaC
project (www.sac-home.org), and the iTask system (clean.cs.ru.nl/ITasks).

Our current focal points are: *Gradual Programming*, *Swarm Computing*, 
*Heterogeneous High-
Performance Computing*, *Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Computing*.

With *Gradual Programming*, we aim to combine the flexibility of rapid 
prototyping with the
type safety of strongly typed programming languages. We look into a 
radically new approach
towards typing programming languages for increased productivity, 
correctness and
sustainability.
Please contact Peter Achten (P.Achten at cs.ru.nl) for details.

*Swarm Computing* refers to the idea of being able to, from a single 
source, perform
programming, controlling, and computation on a dynamic and hybrid 
collection of computational
units varying from CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, TPUs, to IoT devices. Currently, 
we are particularly
interested in Swarm Computing for sustainable IoT utilisation.
Please contact Pieter Koopman (pieter at cs.ru.nl) for details.

In *Heterogeneous High-Performance Computing*, we are interested in the 
generation of code
for swarm computing systems aiming for unprecedented levels of 
efficiency in terms of both,
runtime and energy efficiency. This includes mainstream accelerators 
such as GPUs and FPGAs
as well as novel architectures such as Cerebras’ new architecture 
(www.cerebras.net). This
work will contribute to the new TEN-X initiative (mission10-x.org).
Please contact Sven-Bodo Scholz (SvenBodo.Scholz at ru.nl) for details.

We offer:
  * a gross monthly salary starting from €2,434 in the first year, 
step-wise increasing to
    €3,111 in the fourth year.
  * a 4 year full-time contract, subject to a successful performance 
evaluation after 18 months.
  * a stimulating work environment with excellent Dual Career and Family 
Care Services.
