Computer Science | Scholarship for Nigerians and Africans - Part 23

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.

Three PhD positions in Computer Communication, Sweden

/ January 20, 2011 Leave a Comment

The PhD positions are within the Communication Research group at the department of Information Technology. The group is doing research within mobile and wireless computer communication, wireless security, and Ad hoc, Opportunistic, Wireless Sensor Networks. Our research approach is mainly experimental and we build prototypes and demonstrators.

One position is on parallel Internet protocols and implementations for multicore computers. The position is within the UPMARC center of Excellence.

One or two positions are within the Uppsala WISENET Center of Excellence on wireless sensor networks. The PhD students may do research in one or several fields: participatory sensing, macro programming of sensors or sensor monitoring of environments, such as flood areas or energy consumption in buildings.

The candidates are expected to have an interest in programming of computer systems. A PhD student position requires a Master of Science in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent in a field that is relevant for the topic Computer Communication. Candidates of all nationalities may apply. The position is for a maximum of five years and includes departmental duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching). The candidates should be able to start during the Spring semester of 2011.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 February, 2011

PhD Positions at ILLC, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands: Humanities and Science

/ January 18, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Institute for Logic, Language and Computation is a research institute of the University of Amsterdam, in which researchers from the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Humanities collaborate. Its central research area is the study of fundamental principles of encoding, transmission and comprehension of information. Research at ILLC is interdisciplinary, and aims at bringing together insights from various disciplines concerned with information and information processing, such as logic, mathematics, computer science, linguistics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence and philosophy. Research is organized in three research groups: Logicand Computation (LoCo), Logic and Language (LoLa) and Language and Computation (LaCo). For the research done in the different groups, please have a look at “Research at ILLC” (below). For the research done by the individual staff members of ILLC, see People at ILLC (below). and check their personal webpages.

Tasks

* Complete and defend a PhD thesis within the official appointment duration (see text below).
* Regularly present intermediate research results at international workshops and conferences, and publish them in proceedings and journals
* Collaborate with the researchers in relevant other parts of ILLC
* Participate in the organization of research activities and events at ILLC, such as conferences, workshops and joint publications
* Assist in teaching activities of ILLC (depending on your appointment)

The PhD candidate at the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam will be appointed for 4 years fulltime under de terms of the employment currently valid for the Faculty. A contract will be given in the first instance for 1.5 years, with an extension for the following 2.5 years on the basis of a positive evaluation.

Requirements
* A Master’s degree with excellent grades in a relevant field, such as logic, computer science, mathematics, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy or cognitive science
* Good academic writing and presentation skills
* Good social and organizational skills

Scholarship Description: 15 March 2011 (for the FNWI position) or February 1, 2011 (for the FGw positions). Candidates who wish to be considered for all three positions should follow the FGw deadline.
