Duties/Subject area
The Division of Computer Systems seeks to strengthen its core research activities through the recruitment of up to five promising postdocs. The division’s research includes modeling, design, and analysis of new computer architectures, new methods in computer communication, and new techniques in embedded and real-time systems. In all those areas, the division has produced groundbreaking theoretical and applied results. This call is open to applicants across any of the research fields within the division. Each post-doc will be placed in one of the research groups in the division, but we are particularly interested in applicants who can span multiple groups through collaborative projects. Relevant research groups and projects are:

• Algorithmic verification, in particular verification and testing of concurrent programs;
• Communications research, in particular backscatter communication and battery-free communication;
• Computer architecture, in particular microarchitecture, security, network-on-chip, hardware/software co-design, and memory systems and the integration of programmable capabilities into caches, prefetchers, and coherence;
• Embedded and real-time systems, in particular design, analysis and programming of safety-critical systems that allow dynamic updates, and real-time scheduling for multiprocessor systems;
• Security, in particular security of networked embedded IoT systems and applications, and techniques for software security including verification and testing;
• Persistence in extremely low-power embedded IoT systems, including intermittently computing devices using energy harvesting;
• Application of machine learning to computer systems and computer networks.

More information is available at the Division of Computer Systems web page.

The positions include research and a limited amount (max 20%) of teaching.
