Postdoctoral or Post-Master’s Research Associate in the Computer Science Research Group, USA

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The  Oak Ridge National Laboratory invites applications for Postdoctoral and  Post-Master’s term research appointments in the Computer Science Research Group  of the Computer Science and Mathematics Division. The appointment is initially  limited to one year from start with an option for a second year contingent to  funding availability. It is part of a research project that aims at developing  a soft error resilience strategy for future-generation extreme-scale  high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Soft errors are an emerging threat  for these systems. Uncorrectable errors that occur in an ECC memory module once  within a few million hours can cause a system error rate of a few hours. Also,  undetected errors (silent data corruptions) are becoming a problem as well.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications may be submitted throughout the year, and appointments may begin at any time.

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience and the John Carter Brown Library invite applications for the Hodson Trust-John Carter Brown Fellowship, a unique research and writing fellowship. The Hodson-Brown Fellowship supports work by academics, independent scholars and writers working on significant projects relating to the literature, history, culture, or art of the Americas before 1830. Candidates with a U.S. history topic are strongly encouraged to concentrate on the period prior to 1801. The fellowship is also open to filmmakers, novelists, creative and performing artists, and others working on projects that draw on this period of history. The 2011-12 fellowship award supports two months of research and two months of writing. The stipend is $5,000 per month for a total of $20,000, plus housing and university privileges.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 15 March 2011

ARC Linkage Grant in Autoconfiguration of Critical Network Infrastructure, Australia: Mathematical Science

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications are invited for the following scholarship leading to the degree of PhD in mathematical science.
The scholarship is supported by the Australian Research Council Linkage grant scheme and CQR Consulting.
Australia’s critical infrastructure, e.g., water and electricity, rely more and more on computer networks. The goal of this project is to improve the security of these networks. The focus of the work will be on mathematical representations of the security system’s elements, with a view to allowing network and security specification to take place at a high level, and be automatically implemented without dealing with the minutia of configuration of individual devices such as firewalls and servers.  The potential impacts of the project include improvements to security in vital power stations and water plants, as well as improvements in efficiency in these same areas.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 28 February 2011
