Holand: PhD studentship in Astronomy - Delft University of Technology, Holland
PhD Position for the NWO Funded Project Astrostream Delft Univerity of
Technology Faculty of Electrical Engineering Mathematics and Computer
Science Department of Software
DELFT, 2628 CD (Zuid-Holland), 38 hours per week
Job description
------------------------------
The Astrostream project aims at creating an application development
environment for stream-based astronomy applications tailored to the
needs of
the next-generation
LOFAR and SKA radio telescopes. The Astrostream software architecture
will
be optimised for high productivity, high efficiency, multi-platform
support,
and flexibility in run-time behaviour. Astrostream is intended for
challenging applications with many terabits of
streaming input data and tens of teraflops of processing power,
typically on
large cluster computers.
The Astrostream framework comprises four parts: (i) online stream
programming, (ii) grid-based stream coordination, (iii) off-line
streaming,
and (iv) demonstrators. The on-line streaming is based on an SP
(series-parallel) parallel programming model with stream-
based and event handling extensions. Astrostream will allow existing
transformational code to be embedded in an XML framework. The stream
handling parallel programs
will be coupled to a symbolic performance estimator used to provide
user
feedback, and will be used for automatic load balancing. The grid-based
coordination layer deals with methods of expressing global coordination
of
distributed parallel stream-based applications. Off-line stream
processing
will investigate self-calibration techniques for multiple data streams
stored on disks. The Astrostream framework will be validated with two
demonstrators containing model-in-the-loop astronomy applications.
Requirements
------------------------------
Required education/skills:University Graduate
The candidate should be a university graduate with a background in
computer
science or a
related field. Candidates must also be proficient in spoken and written
English.
Workfield(s):
- Research trainees, non-tenured lecturers, researchers(Scientific
discipline: Engineering)

Delft Univerity of Technology Faculty of Electrical Engineering
Mathematics
and Computer Science
Department of Software Technology
Delft University of Technology is a multifaceted institution offering
education and carrying out research within the technical sciences at an
internationally recognised level. Education, research and designs are
strongly oriented towards applicability. TU Delft develops technologies
for
future generations, focusing on sustainability, safety and economic
vitality. At TU Delft we work in an environment where technical
sciences and
society converge. TU Delft comprises 8 faculties, unique laboratories,
research institutes and schools.
The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
characteristics are a high level of ambition and the choice of synergy.
The
faculty is a strong international party in the field of
Telecommunication,
Software technology, Micro electronics & Computer Engineering,
Electrical
energy technology, Multimedia and Applied Mathematics. With a
population of
1800 students (BSc and MSc), and 750 employees including almost 300
post
docs the faculty is strong and pleasant organization.
The Department of Software Technology comprises the research groups in
the
EEMCS Faculty working on core Computer Science aspects. The department
is
responsible for a major part of the curriculum of the BSc and MSc
Computer
Science programmes. The department seeks to play a leading role in
research,
both nationally and internationally, in a number of focused research
areas.
The department comprises three sections: Software Engineering, Parallel
and
Distributed Systems, and Algorithms
The department's research mission is to perform excellent research at
an
internationally recognised level in the design, construction and
analysis of
complex concurrent and co-operative computer systems. Inspiration for
the
research topics derives largely from technical ICT problems in industry
and
society in terms of distributed processing, sensor networks and
embedded
systems. The department strives to achieve a good balance between
fundamental and applied research projects; the latter are carried out
largely with industrial partners. The department's strategy is to embed
its
research in major long-term projects and collaborations with other
universities, institutes and industry.
