Description We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in database systems with a strong theoretical foundation. We are looking for a candidate excited by the challenge of rethinking data systems in the face of modern constraints such as optimization under uncertainty, constrained query evaluation, or the design of efficient, explainable, and scalable query engines. The successful applicant will help design and build novel systems and algorithms that challenge traditional assumptions in databases, guided by both real-world needs and formal foundations. They will work at the intersection of systems and algorithms, in collaboration with faculty, students, and external partners. Key Responsibilities Lead independent and collaborative research on topics in database systems, including constrained query evaluation, optimization, and reasoning under uncertainty. Design and analyze novel algorithms or theoretical models related to modern data management challenges (e.g., query feasibility, data correlations, probabilistic evaluation, scalability). Prototype and evaluate data system components or extensions to existing open-source engines. Publish in top-tier conferences (SIGMOD, VLDB, PODS, ICDE, ICDT, etc.) and participate in the wider research community. Mentor students and contribute to a vibrant research culture at NYUAD.
