Applications are invited for a two-year postdoctoral position at the Rince Institute, Faculty of Engineering & Computing, Dublin City University.
The successful candidate will focus on analysing, designing and prototyping solutions to a number of performance challenges related to the interconnection network of very large scale high-performance computing systems. The research will be conducted in collaboration with the IBM Exascale Stream Computing Collaboratory.
The successful postdoctoral fellow must hold a PhD in Telecommunications Engineering, Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, and have a proven track record of high quality research in the following areas:
▪ Data Network Performance Evaluation - (e.g. queuing analysis, mathematical analysis of protocol performance and data traffic characteristics, discrete-event simulation)
▪ Network Optimisation and Dimensioning - (e.g. topology optimisation, resource and bandwidth allocation methods, QoS provisioning, routing, traffic grooming)
▪ Previous experience in the following topics would also be an advantage - Optical Interconnects, High Speed Signalling, WDM, Ethernet, network test-bed implementation, protocol optimisation and prototyping, distributed/parallel network simulation methods.
The position will be co-funded by IRCSET and IBM through IRCSET’s Enterprise Partnership Scheme. Applicants must meet IRCSET’s eligibility criteria and will be assessed independently by IRCSET. Further details of the Enterprise Partnership Scheme may be found at
