Open Positions

» Research Assistants / Ph.D. Students in Algorithms/Theory (100%)   Distributed Computing   Details
» Software Developer for the CloudAngel Project - iOS, Android (m/f) - 100%   Communication Systems   Details

Research Assistants / Ph.D. Students in Algorithms/Theory (100%)
The distributed computing group is a young research group at the department of information technology and electrical engineering at ETH Zurich. Currently we are about ten members.

We are interested in a variety of hot topics in the area of distributed computing, such as distributed algorithms, graph algorithms, multi-core systems 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 theory, 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.

We are looking for new members with a strong algorithmic background, and a Master’s degree in Computer Science or Mathematics or a related field. A candidate should be attracted by and proficient in areas such as approximation algorithms, complexity theory, distributed algorithms, graph theory, online computation, computational geometry, probabilistic algorithms, learning theory, 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.

The research group aims to increase the number of women in scientific positions. Female candidates are therefore encouraged to apply.

For further information about the position please visit our website www.disco.ethz.ch and read the following, more detailed information prior to submitting your application: Information for potential job applicants
 

Software Developer for the CloudAngel Project - iOS, Android (m/f) - 100%
CloudAngel is a KTI-funded collaboration between Uepaa(!!)-Swiss Alpine Technology and ETH Zurich (CSG/TIK/D-ITET). Uepaa(!!) is a startup located in Zurich which aims at improving safety for outdoor sport practitioners in Alpine environments using novel technologies. Uepaa(!!) develops Tracking, Alert and Rescue (TAR) services for smartphones leveraging communication technologies developed at ETH. In case of an accident, an automatic alert is triggered even if the person is unconscious and no network connectivity (GSM/3G) is available. With a growing market of more than 20,5 million Alpine outdoor practitioners, Uepaa(!!) will revolutionize safety and rescue operations by having an Angel in the cloud always looking after your safety and requesting help from the nearby crowd. Uepaa(!!) is collaborating with many partners including Rega and Mammut.

We are looking for talented smartphone software developers (beginner or experienced), who are motivated, independent and fond of innovation. You are fascinated by all the possibilities offered by smartphones and want to participate to the development of a revolutionary product going beyond what you have seen so far? Then send your application here. We are looking forward to receiving your application.
