PhD and Postdoc Positions
In cooperation with SAP and the Hasso-Plattner-Institut Potsdam,
we are developing basic algorithms for data bases using
the following principles:
- main memory based
- column oriented storage
- high performance parallel query evaluation.
In this project we place equal emphasis on first class academic
publications and integrability into real world strategic products of SAP.
We expect good grades from internationally respected academic
institutions and skills in some of the following areas:
- algorithm engineering
- parallel/multicore algorithms
- advanced C++ programming
- code tuning
- database implementation
- data compression
- data mining
Postdoc applicants are expected to have high class publications
in at least one of the above areas.
Please send the following documents to blancani@kit.edu
(preferably until November 30, 2009):
- CV
- email addresses of people we can ask for references
- scans of your most current transcripts / performance records
- URLs of your three most important scientific papers,
thesis documents, or source codes of programs
- a short statement explaining your most interesting qualifications
for the project
(we prefer formats that are easy to view on linux systems --
pdf, postcript, ascii, or html)
KIT will give preference to appropriately qualified handicapped
candidates. In order to increase the number of women in academic
positions, KIT particularly welcomes applications of women.
