[DMANET] Ph.D. positions in parallel algorithms and algorithms engineering at University of Hawaii

Funding for multiple PhD positions in the area of theoretical computer
science is available at the department of Information and Computer
Sciences at the University of Hawaii, Manoa.

A successful candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Nodari
Sitchinava on the topics of parallel and distributed algorithms and data
structures for modern architectures and programming environments, such
as manycores, GPGPUs, MapReduce. For more practically inclined
candidates projects which involve implementing these algorithms and data
structures on the modern architectures (algorithms engineering) are also
available, especially in the area of GPU programming. Exceptional
candidates in the general area of algorithms and data structures will
also be considered.

The applicants should apply through the Univeristy of Hawaii's central
admissions process. Information on how to apply can be found here:
http://www.ics.hawaii.edu/academics/graduate-programs/grad_faqs_prospective

The deadline for Fall 2014 admission is February 1, 2014. Students who
do not have a Master's degree are encouraged to apply directly to the
Ph.D. program (and will obtain a Master's degree in the course of the
Ph.D. program).

The department of Information and Computer Sciences is located in the
Manoa neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii. Honolulu is a vibrant city of
population 900,000 on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The temperatures in
Honolulu vary very little throughout the year and average 75-90F
(24-32C) year round. In addition to city activities, the island offers
many outdoor activities, such as hiking, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving.
