Postdoctoral researcher positions in Computer Architecture

Information about the Computer Architecture Research Group
The Computer Architecture Research Group, within the department of Computer Science and Engineering, under the leadership of Professor Per Stenstrom, is conducting research on design principles for next generation computer systems. To ease the programming task and yet achieve high computational performance at as high an energy efficiency as possible is an important objective in the knowledge generation process that the group contributes with. To this end, the group has a solid track record and a long-term focus on contributing to design principles of parallel computers. Four senior faculty members and some twenty postdocs and Ph.D students are engaged in research in Computer Architecture. The group is a founding partner of the HiPEAC European Network of Excellence and engaged in several EU and national projects with strong ties to industry, among them the European Processor Initiative.

Major responsibilities
Prospective candidates will be engaged in research towards the vision of the research group being to consider a new architecture framework that is believed to scale into the future addressing the challenges of end of Moore's Law and an application landscape being data centric rather than compute centric. This architecture framework drives the research in many projects including the European Processor Initiative and projects carried out with industrial partners. There are ample opportunities for prospective candidates to highly interesting research in this environment getting ready for the next stage in the candidate's academic/ industrial career.

Qualifications
To qualify for the position of postdoc you must have a PhD degree in Computer Architecture. The degree should have been awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). You are highly motivated, self-propelled, energetic, independent and with a well-developed analytical problem-solving ability. As a person, you are empathetic, loyal and have high ethical standards. Since the research work involves hardware design and development of simulation models, good hardware design and programming skills are required. Finally, your communication skills in English (literal as well as oral) need to be of a high quality.

Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
