- Main duties and responsibilities
- Work closely with all members of the lab carrying out excellent research
- Supervise students and collaborate with other postdocs
- (optional) Contribute to teaching (especially if interested in an academic career) Profile
- Highly motivated with proven scientific excellence in the areas of vector query processing, serverless/just-in-time query execution, parallel and distributed data management, and data management systems on emerging hardware
- Passionate about inventing, building, and publishing quality database systems research
- A strong publication record and hands-on experience in system development are especially important We offer
- The DIAS Lab team is renowned for its collaborative and nourishing culture, which supports the lab’s members since their first day in the team and long after their departure Excellent working conditions
Application process
- Data-intensive applications are increasingly more demanding in sophisticated algorithms to store, manage, and interpret data.
- To meet the challenges, database software needs to communicate efficiently both with the application layer and with the underlying hardware platforms, and deliver seamless computational and data management support.
- Research in the DIAS lab addresses both aspects of the challenge: we adapt data management technology to computer architecture trends by designing data manipulation techniques that exploit optimally the underlying hardware and I/O devices, and we enable new discoveries in scientific domains through automating physical database design and revolutionizing exploration algorithms in very large data repositories.
- The DIAS lab pioneers just-in-time query engines which support analytics on raw data, data cleaning and query optimization for heterogeneous distributed data, and hardware/software codesigned engines for demanding applications.
- The contract is fixed for one year initially, renewable up to four years Informations Interested parties should send an application through the system including a CV, a research statement, and the names of at least three references.
