Job Opportunities

The research group is continuously accepting applications from highly qualified master students that intend to work towards a PhD. In addition, we are also looking for highly qualified postdoctoral students in the research areas of the group.

In particular, we have the following open positions:


Post-doctoral Fellow in Embedded Systems

The research group on Computer Engineering at ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) has an opening for a post-doctoral fellow the field of high-performance embedded systems.

Description

The research group is involved in several international projects in the area of hardware and software concepts for embedded systems. In particular, we are investigating the use of distributed multi-core and multi-processor systems in application domains which require highly dependable operation. The PhD position is related to new theoretical concepts and related novel software architectures that provide guarantees on the expected system behavior, for example with respect to timing and reaction to hardware and software faults.

Position

The Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory offers a creative international environment, a possibility to conduct highly competitive research on a global scale and involvement in teaching. The responsibilities of the position include successful research in the emerging field of parallel and distributed embedded systems in terms of new theoretical models and methods and/or prototype systems. Within your project there is plenty of opportunities to cooperate with highly recognized national and international partners. In addition, active participation in research projects and leading a group of highly motivated Ph.D. students is expected.

Education

The candidate must hold a Ph.D. degree with top performance in a field that is closely related to embedded systems. He or she should have a track record in conducting original highly competitive scientific research and publishing the results in top conferences and scientific journals. Maturity, self-motivation and the ability to work both independently and as a team player in local and international research teams are expected. German language skills are not required, English is mandatory.
