The Scholarship

An unsolved key question in condensed matter physics concerns the understanding of why and how materials go from fluid to disorded dynamically arrested states, so called glasses? Any liquid that is cooled fast enough to avoid the ordered crystalline state will form a glass which has a molecular structure almost identical to that of the liquid. Why the molecular motions in the liquid slow down so dramatically upon cooling is not well understood and glass formation thus remains an unsolved mystery of solid and soft condensed matter physics.

Materials that undergo transitions from fluid to disordered solid states are common and important both in nature and in man-made materials. Examples of such materials include gels, colloidal suspensions, granular systems, emulsions, foams, pastes and even biological cells. Despite the widely different nature of these materials, the transitions often show strong similarities, in turn suggesting a common physical description. The work involved in this position will adress some of the key open questions.

The Computer Systems group at Chalmers conducts research on high-performance and low-power computing, including the design and analysis of 1) efficient architectures for mainstream down to embedded platforms, 2) systems-level software to exploit interesting hardware platforms, and 3) verifiable tools to enable more efficient, accurate design space exploration.

Chalmers is a partner in the HiPEAC European Network of Excellence.

The European ERA (Embedded Reconfigurable Architectures) project studies tradeoffs among reconfigurability, performance, and power within the context of heterogeneous, multi-core systems. Chalmers efforts address the balance between performance and power consumption (at all levels), and reconfigurable memory hierarchy design, in particular. We are recruiting for one PhD position.

The Heterogeneous Computing Laboratory at University College Dublin (UCD), as part of the IBM Exascale activity (http://www-05.ibm.com/ie/emerging_business_centre/exascale.html), is seeking a suitable postdoctoral fellow and PhD candidate.

These positions will be co-funded by IRCSET and IBM through IRCSET’s Enterprise Partnership Scheme. Further details on the Enterprise Partnership Scheme can be found at http://www.ircset.ie/Default.aspx?tabid=58. Applicants must meet IRCSET’s eligibility criteria and will be assessed independently by IRCSET.

The Exascale activity will adopt a Stream Computing paradigm and will utilize streaming hardware and techniques – some of which will be developed as part of this activity.

The successful PhD candidate will have a 1st Class honours degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering. A Masters degree and strong mathematical skills will be an advantage. Ideally, they should be proficient in C programming and should have a working knowledge of parallel computing concepts. Their interests should lie in the software/hardware interface.

For further information, please contact: Dr. Alexey Lastovetsky, School of Computer Science and Informatics, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland, Alexey.Lastovetsky@ucd.ie.

Application Deadline : 30 September 2010

The Department of Energy and Environment conducts superior research and education in energy and sustainable development, at the global scale down to the industrial, building, and product level. Our focus is on experimental and theoretical energy technology research, as well as development, use, and evaluation of methods and tools for analysis of technology systems. In total, 150 individuals work in the department’s six divisions.

The doctoral position is in the Physical Resource Theory division. Physical Resource Theory encompasses theories, models, and methods to describe the metabolism of energy and materials in social and natural systems, in physical and economics terms. For instance, we develop models to characterize how current and future use of energy and materials can develop toward a reduced environmental impact.
