At TU Dresden, Faculty of Computer Science, Institute of Computer Engineering, the Chair of Compiler Construction in a collaborative project for novel programming methodologies for emerging computer architectures in the context of future 5G communication standards and beyond offers a fixed-term position as

Research Associate (m/f/x)

(subject to personal qualification employees are remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L)

starting April 15, 2022.

Research areas: Programming languages, source-to-source compilation, code optimization, emerging computing systems.

Terms: The position is limited until October 15, 2024 with the option for extension. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz – WissZeitVG).

Position and Requirements

At the Chair of Compiler Construction, we have the long-term vision of shaping how future electronic systems are programmed. This includes defining novel programming abstractions through domain-specific languages and associated compiler infrastructures to enable optimizing software for heterogeneous computing systems in the embedded and high-performance computing domains. In this context, we are looking for a highly motivated researcher to work on a collaborative project, with partners from industry and academia, that seeks to re-define the computer and system architecture for future wireless communication systems. The candidate will interact with experts in communication standards and with researchers defining extreme energy-efficient edge servers in virtualized radio access networks (vRANs), for applications in the areas of autonomous mobility, health monitoring of ageing societies and Industry 4.0. We are looking for a candidate with expertise in system-level optimization methodologies, compilation, and with a strong interdisciplinary attitude towards research. Knowledge of streaming and dataflow programming models is extremely beneficial. The selected candidate will work with state-of-the-art compilation frameworks and with system simulators for heterogeneous systems.

We aim at attracting the best talent in the respective research fields and expect the following:

Basic Requirements:

• an outstanding university degree (master's/diploma or equivalent) in computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering or a relevant area;
• an independent, target- and solution-driven work attitude;
• an integrative and cooperative personality with excellent communication and social skills;
• fluency in English - written and oral. 
• Preferred Qualification:
• knowledge of programming languages and methods;
• strong background in computer architecture;
• knowledge of LLVM, Clang and/or MLIR;
• knowledge of fundamentals of signal processing systems;
• Initial record of creative research.

Informal enquiries can be submitted to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jerónimo Castrillón, Tel +49 (351) 463 42716; Email: jeronimo.castrillon@tu-dresden.de

Applications from women are particularly welcome. The same applies to people with disabilities.

What we offer

You will join a team of enthusiastic researchers who creatively pursue their individual research agendas. The chair is a part of the “Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden”, which offers plenty of resources and structures for career development.
