The research group for Parallel Computing at the Institute of Computer 
Engineering, Faculty of Informatics of TU Wien (Vienna University of 
Technology) is offering a

* 3 year PhD student position, and/or
* a 1-2 year Postdoctoral position

to work in a funded research project on "Algorithm Engineering for 
Process Mapping". This project deals with algorithms and implementations 
for process mapping in the context of MPI (the Message-Passing 
Interface) and/or other interfaces for parallel High-Performance 
Computing.  The salary will be for either 30 (PhD position) or 40 
(PostDoc position) hours a week in accordance with the Austrian standard 
rate for University employment.

Deadline for application is January 4th, 2021. For more information, see

Qualifications (PhD):

- A good master's degree in computer science, electrical engineering,
    mathematics, or other related area
- Some exposure to parallel and/or distributed computing, preferably
    parallel algorithms, shared-memory multi-processor programming,
    high-performance computing, or similar
- Good theoretical grounding in computer science (algorithms and data
    structures, complexity, computability, ...)
- Good programming skills in C/C++, Fortran, or Java; knowledge of other
    paradigms (functional, logic, data flow) a plus
- Interest in working both independently and with the group practically as
    well as theoretically
- Interest in writing up and presenting results and problems
- Enthusiasm for parallel computing, MPI, and computer science in general

Qualifications (Postdoc):

- A PhD in a field related to parallel computing
- Experience in and understanding of interfaces for distributed parallel
    computing
- Good theoretical grounding in computer science (algorithms and data
    structures, complexity, computability, ...)
- Good programming skills in C/C++, Fortran, or Java; knowledge of other
    paradigms (functional, logic, data flow) a plus
- Enthusiasm for parallel computing, MPI, and computer science in general

Speaking German is not required, but fluency in English (written and 
spoken) is a must.
