European EEEEE CCCC RRRR CCCC Computer-Industry E C R R C Research EEEEE C RRR C Centre E C R R C (GmbH) EEEEE CCCC R R CCCC Call for Applications ===================== The European Computer-Industry Research Centre (ECRC) is currently looking for several new RESEARCHERS in the area of PARALLEL LOGIC PROGRAMMING. The ElipSys Project at ECRC is establishing a platform, combining logic programming, constraints and a knowledge-base management system, for the efficient parallel execution of programs. ECRC now seeks to extend this platform and to build tools to support the development of parallel programs. The ElipSys Project encompasses a broad spectrum of activities; ranging from building applications, through debugging, language design & semantics, optimization, and implementation, to porting the system to a variety of parallel & distributed platforms. Applications are invited in any of these areas, however, expertise in the development and practical application of techniques for the static analysis of programs, for example type inference and abstract interpretation, is particularly sought. As is similar expertise in the areas of program transformation and partial evaluation. Applicants should have a solid background in the theory and implementation of logic programming systems, and combine an enthusiasm for constructing systems with a desire to build within a semantically sound framework. A prime requirement is that candidates should be able to demonstrate their ability and motivation to conduct high-quality research in an international environment. Although applicants should normally hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, younger scientists holding a bachelors or masters degree are encouraged to apply, provided they combine excellent qualifications with a commitment to research. Successful candidates will be expected to perform basic research and prototype implementation within one of a number of small project teams. ECRC offers competitive salaries and unlimited duration working contracts. The working language of the centre is English. Candidates from outside Germany can expect particular financial as well as administrative support. Applications, including a curriculum vitae and the names of two referees, should be sent to the Parallel & Distributed Systems Group via: Mike Reeve ECRC Arabellastrasse 17 8000 Munich 81 Germany FAX: +49-89-92699-170 For further information, please phone +49-89-92699-127 or e-mail mjr@ecrc.de
