PhD Positions in Parallel Programming and Interprocess Synchronization of Multicore Systems
Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers Technical University
We are looking for applicants with interests in parallel programming and algorithms for interprocess synchronization of multi/many-core processors (e.g. CUDA-enabled GPUs), with focus on lock/wait-free synchronization and concurrent data structures. For more information, see the webpages of the Distributed Computing and Systems group http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~dcs/ or contact Philippas Tsigas (tsigas(at)cs.chalmers.se).

The Department provides strongly international and dynamic research environments with 76 faculty and 75 PhD students from about 30 countries. For more information, see www.chalmers.se/cse/EN/
Knowledge of Swedish is not a prerequisite for application. English is our working language for research. Both Swedish and English are used in undergraduate courses. Half of our researchers and PhD students are native Swedes; the rest come from more than 20 different countries.
Applicants must have a very good undergraduate degree in Computing Science or in a related subject with a strong Computing Science component. They must also have a strong, documented interest in doing research. You may even apply if you have not yet completed your degree, but expect to do so by 1 September 2008.
