Research Assistant 2007-2008 for Ph.D. Student in Distributed Algorithms Germany
Germany: Research Assistant / Ph.D. Student in Distributed Algorithms, Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at ETH Zurich
The distributed computing group is a young research group at the department of information technology and electrical engineering at ETH Zurich. Currently we are ten members. We are interested in a variety of hot topics in the area of distributed computing, such as distributed algorithms, peer-to-peer computing, wireless ad hoc or sensor networks, or social and mobile networks.
In our group we try to apply and unite the approaches and techniques of algorithmic theory and systems implementation. Some members of our group focus on algorithms and analysis, some on systems design and building. All of us work together to build scalable, fault-tolerant, and efficient primitives and applications for the distributed future of computing.
Please visit the group web site for more information.
We are looking for highly motivated computer scientists with a strong algorithmic background (and a Masters degree in Computer Science or Mathematics). A candidate should be attracted by and proficient in areas such as approximation algorithms, complexity, distributed algorithms, graph theory, online computation, computational geometry, probabilistic algorithms, combinatorics, or optimization. A new group member can choose and shape a project according to his or her interests and talents within the first months of employment.
Successful candidates are expected to work towards a doctoral degree, and participate in the teaching activities of the group.
Please submit your application (CV, and proof of algorithmic interests, e.g. a student thesis) to Roger Wattenhofer. If you have questions or need more information about the position, we encourage you to visit our website or to contact Roger Wattenhofer directly.
