Sweden : Post-doc Stipend in Cloud Computing

Umeå University, Department of Computing Science, is seeking an outstanding candidate for a post-doc fellowship within the field of cloud computing.

The group’s research is focused on the design and analysis of methods, algorithms and software for service-oriented cloud and grid infrastructures. Current and future topics of research interest include:

• architectures for distributed and federated clouds and grids
• scheduling and resource brokering of virtual machines, jobs, and data
• job and workflow management
• autonomic service elasticity
• admission control for safe resource overbooking
• distributed monitoring, accounting, and quota enforcement
• basic tools for managing compute and data intense applications
• holistic system management based on business level objectives
• efficient use of virtualization techniques, including live migration
• design principles for cloud-ready applications
• applications of autonomic network management
• theory and algorithms for resource allocation problems
• real-world applications of results from these topics

See www.cloudresearch.se for an overview of ongoing research projects.

The research is performed in an international and creative environment, currently comprising 17 persons of 6 nationalities. We work within large-scale national and international projects, including EU FP7 funded projects (RESERVOIR, OPTIMIS, VISION Cloud) in close collaboration with major industrial (e.g, IBM, SAP, and Atos Origin) and academic partners. Software is contributed to various open source community efforts including NorduGrid/ARC and the Globus Toolkit, the latter as a member of the Globus Academic Affiliate Program. The group is also a member of the NESSI workgroup on service-oriented infrastructure.

The research is performed in collaboration with the High Performance Computing Center North (HPC2N) and the UMIT research laboratory at Umeå University. HPC2N is a member center of the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC), providing competence and computing resources, including grid resources. HPC2N actively takes part in Swegrid, NDGF, NorduGrid and EGEE. UMIT is an environment for interdisciplinary research in scientific, high-performance, distributed, real-time, and visual computing.

This opportunity is aimed for post-doctoral research, to be performed jointly with senior researchers and PhD students in the group, as well as with our collaboration partners. Coordination tasks within large-scale projects may also be included. The post-doc fellowship is for two years and comes with a competitive stipend.

Applicants should have earned a PhD in computer science or a related field relevant for the position, preferably not more than three years old. Research topics of interest span from distributed systems fundamentals to cloud and grid computing infrastructures, virtualization technology, and their academic and industrial applications, including, e.g., eScience applications. Industrial experience is also considered highly valuable. Excellent communication skills in written and spoken English are required.
