At the Chair of Com­pi­ler Con­struc­tion we have the long-term vision of sha­ping the way future elec­tro­nic sys­tems are to be pro­gram­med. This inclu­des defi­ning novel pro­gramming abs­trac­tions by means of domain-spe­ci­fic lan­guages and asso­cia­ted com­pi­ler infra­st­ruc­tures to enable opti­mi­sing soft­ware for large-scale hete­ro­ge­ne­ous and dis­tri­bu­ted com­pu­ting sys­tems. In this con­text, we are loo­king for a highly moti­va­ted rese­ar­cher to work on high-level opti­mi­za­ti­ons for sys­tems with emer­ging memory tech­no­lo­gies. This invol­ves aspects of data pla­ce­ment for sys­tems that com­bine main­stream memo­ries (SRAM and DRAM) with emer­ging memo­ries (spin-tor­que-trans­fer-RAM, phase change memory and race­track memo­ries), and also novel tech­ni­ques to effec­tively exploit com­pu­ta­tion-in-memory and com­pu­ta­tion-near-memory. The selec­ted can­di­date will work with state-of-the-art com­pi­ler frame­works (LLVM, MLIR, and Pluto), and memory and sys­tem simu­la­tors. The long term goal is to create abs­trac­tions than can be exten­ded and re-used for sys­tems bey­ond those addres­sed in the pro­ject.

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

• an out­stan­ding uni­ver­sity degree (mas­ter/diploma or equi­va­lent) in com­pu­ter sci­ence, mathe­ma­tics, elec­tri­cal engi­nee­ring or a rele­vant area;
• first rese­arch expe­ri­ence, pre­fer­a­bly in com­pi­lers, app­lied mathe­ma­tics (e.g., graph algo­rithms), opti­mi­za­tion tech­ni­ques, poly­he­dral com­pi­lers;
• sound know­ledge in com­pu­ter archi­tec­ture;
• know­ledge of LLVM IR and MLIR are highly bene­fi­cial;
• an inde­pen­dent, tar­get- and solu­tion-dri­ven work atti­tude;
• inter- and mul­ti­di­sci­pli­nary thin­king;
• an inte­gra­tive and coope­ra­tive per­so­na­lity with excel­lent com­mu­ni­ca­tion and social skills;
• flu­ency in Eng­lish - writ­ten and oral.

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

About cfaed
The cfaed is a clus­ter which brings tog­e­ther 200 rese­ar­chers from TU Dres­den and ten other rese­arch insti­tu­ti­ons in the areas of Elec­tri­cal and Com­pu­ter Engi­nee­ring, Com­pu­ter Sci­ence, Mate­ri­als Sci­ence, Phy­sics, Che­mi­stry, Bio­logy, and Mathe­ma­tics. The cfaed addres­ses the advan­ce­ment of elec­tro­nic infor­ma­tion pro­ces­sing sys­tems through explo­ring new tech­no­lo­gies which over­come the limits of today’s pre­do­mi­nant CMOS tech­no­logy. www.tu-dresden.de/cfaed

About TU Dres­den
The TU Dres­den is among the top uni­ver­si­ties in Ger­many and Europe and one of the ele­ven Ger­man uni­ver­si­ties that were iden­ti­fied as an ‘elite uni­ver­sity’ since 2012. As a modern full-sta­tus uni­ver­sity with 17 facul­ties it offers a wide aca­de­mic range making it one of a very few in Ger­many.

Com­plete app­li­ca­ti­ons (in Eng­lish only) inclu­ding moti­va­tion let­ter, CV, copy of degree cer­ti­fi­cate, tran­script of gra­des (i.e. the offi­cial list of cour­se­work inclu­ding your gra­des) and proof of Eng­lish lan­guage skills should be sub­mit­ted pre­fer­a­bly via the TU Dres­den Secu­re­Mail Por­tal https://securemail.tu-dresden.de by sen­ding it as a sin­gle pdf docu­ment quo­ting the refe­rence num­ber PhD2101-CCC in the sub­ject hea­der to jeronimo.castrillon@tu-dresden.de or alter­na­tively by post to: TU Dres­den, Fakul­tät Infor­ma­tik, Insti­tut für Tech­ni­sche Infor­ma­tik, Pro­fes­sur für Com­pi­ler­bau, Herrn Prof. Jeronimo Cas­tril­lon, Helm­holtz­str. 10, 01069 Dres­den, Ger­many. The clo­sing date for app­li­ca­ti­ons is Janu­ary 29, 2021 (stam­ped arri­val date of the uni­ver­sity cen­tral mail ser­vice app­lies). Please sub­mit copies only, as your app­li­ca­tion will not be retur­ned to you. Expen­ses incur­red in atten­ding inter­views can­not be reim­bur­sed.
