The Institute of Embedded Systems/Real-Time Systems at Ulm University
invites applications for a 2-year full-time PhD Position / Scientific Employee starting at October 1st, 2011 (including the option of a
prolongation). Description:
The successful candidate shall continue the outstanding previous work
in the area of code generation for safety-critical real-time systems.
When designing software for embedded real-time systems, the Worst-Case
Execution Time (WCET) of a program plays an important role.
Unfortunately, today’s compilers are unable to consider the impact of
code optimizations on the resulting WCETs. The successful applicant’s
research activities will concentrate on designing novel compiler
optimizations in order to reduce WCETs. These optimizations will be
realized in the context of the WCET-aware C Compiler (WCC) and will be
scientifically examined using this compiler framework. The WCC
compiler is worldwide leading in the area of code generation and
optimization for safety-critical real-time systems. Many of WCC’s
WCET-oriented optimizations have been published in highly selective
journals and conferences from the embedded systems domain. The
successful candidate will have the opportunity to attain a PhD degree.
Teaching obligations of 4 hours per week belong to the successful
applicant’s duties. Requirements:
Excellent diploma or master degree in computer science or a close-by
discipline, conferred by a university or a comparable institution.
Very good skills from the embedded systems domain are expected.
Knowledge in the areas of WCET analysis or compiler construction is
appreciated but is not key requirement for the vacant position. The
successful applicant should have very good communication (English
and/or German) and programming skills (C++). A salary according to the German labor contract TV-L will be paid. Interested candidates are asked to submit an application containing
the usual documentation by September 18th, 2011 to Dr. Heiko Falk
Institut für Eingebettete Systeme/Echtzeitsysteme
Universität Ulm
89069 Ulm
e-mail: Heiko.Falk@uni-ulm.de The University of Ulm is committed to increase the share of women in
research and teaching positions and therefore explicitly encourages
female candidates to apply. Physically disabled applicants receive favorable consideration when
equally qualified. The appointment is made by the central university
administration.
