Hi All; I missed the job BoF at debconf, so I'm taking the liberty of forwarding an ad for a student. I'm at Debconf10 in NYC so feel free to track me down in the next couple days, or send me email.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Candidates are sought for a 3 year funded Ph.D. student position (subject to availability of funds, 1 year with renewal subject to satisfactory performance and further availability of funds). The position is to start September 1 2010, or as soon as possible afterwards. The selected candidate will design, implement, and experimentally evaluate an open source framework for /parallel tree search/. Tree search applications such as /SAT/ and /integer programming/ are characterized by their use of divide-and-conquer to find a solution, and by the use of a shared knowledge pool to accelerate the search. Candidates should have a Master's degree in Computer Science or equivalent. We are particularly interested in candidates with background in one or more of the following: - High Performance Computing - Parallel Programming, particularly distributed memory models. - SAT solvers - Discrete Optimization - Linux/Unix Systems Programming - Batch systems and cluster computing Candidates are encouraged to contact David Bremner <brem...@unb.ca> with a resumé and unofficial post-secondary transcripts. _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
