[DMANET] Postdoc/PhD student position(s) in "Algorithm Engineering for Process Mapping in MPI"

The research group for Parallel Computing at the Institute of
Computer Engineering, Faculty of Informatics of TU Wien (Vienna University
of Technology) is offering a

* 3 year PhD student position, and/or
* a 1-2 year Postdoctoral position

to work in a funded research project on "Algorithm Engineering for
Process Mapping". This project deals with algorithms and
implementations for process mapping in the context of MPI (the
Message-Passing Interface) and/or other interfaces for parallel
High-Performance Computing. The salary will be for either 30 (PhD position)
or 40 (PostDoc position) hours a week in accordance with the
Austrian standard rate for University employment.

Deadline for application is January 4th, 2021. For more information,
see https://par.tuwien.ac.at/open-positions.psp, or contact
Prof. Jesper Larsson Träff, TU Wien (traff@par.tuwien.ac.at).

Qualifications (PhD):

- A good master's degree in computer science, electrical engineering,
mathematics, or other related area
- Some exposure to parallel and/or distributed computing, preferably
parallel algorithms, shared-memory multi-processor programming,
high-performance computing, or similar
- Good theoretical grounding in computer science (algorithms and data
structures, complexity, computability, ...)
- Good programming skills in C/C++, Fortran, or Java; knowledge of other
paradigms (functional, logic, data flow) a plus
- Interest in working both independently and with the group practically as
well as theoretically
- Interest in writing up and presenting results and problems
- Enthusiasm for parallel computing, MPI, and computer science in general

Qualifications (Postdoc):

- A PhD in a field related to parallel computing
- Experience in and understanding of interfaces for distributed parallel
computing
- Good theoretical grounding in computer science (algorithms and data
structures, complexity, computability, ...)
- Good programming skills in C/C++, Fortran, or Java; knowledge of other
paradigms (functional, logic, data flow) a plus
- Enthusiasm for parallel computing, MPI, and computer science in general

Speaking German is not required, but fluency in English (written and
spoken) is a must.
