Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: The National Veterinary Institute has for more than 100 years conducted research on infectious diseases and disease prevention in production animals. The research has contributed to important scientific breakthroughs and the Institute has gained an excellent reputation as a provider of evidence-based scientific advice to the industry as well as to public agencies. The activities also form an important basis for collaborations with other DTU departments and with other public and private research entities, in Denmark and abroad, as well as with the Danish farming industry. To meet the future challenges, the institute has recently reorganized the scientific activities into four discipline oriented sections: virology, immunology, bacteriology/pathology and epidemiology. The general aim of the sections is to perform basic and applied research, and to translate discoveries into tools for control, prevention and treatment of major infectious diseases in production animals including fish. Activities on virology include major endemic and exotic viruses including zoonoses. The institute has modern PC-2 and PC-3 containment facilities for handling infectious agents and infected animals.

Course Level:Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: Denmark Technical University
Scholarship can be taken at: Denmark

Eligibility:-Candidates must hold a PhD degree within the fields of computer science and engineering (CSE) and a solid background in compiler backend development (compiler generators and code generation), compilation for VLIW architectures, and knowledge of the LLVM compiler framework.
-Valuable additional knowledge includes real-time systems, worst-case execution analysis, and architecture modelling (using VHDL and/or architecture description languages).
-Furthermore, good command of the English language is essential.

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: The T-CREST project addresses the design of time-predictable multi-core embedded systems, and the project is driven by a focus on worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis – it should be easy/feasible and with reasonably tight bounds and this calls for a fresh look at all levels of design and tools. The overall aim of the project is to build a time-predictable system from the ground up. This includes: the hardware platform (network-on-chip, processor and memory controllers), compiler and real time kernel as well as WCET analysis tools and a benchmark application. In addition to DTU, project partners are: The Open Group, AbsInt Angewandte Informatik GmbH, Vienna University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology, University of York, GMV, and Intecs S.p.A. The post doc research will be in compiler support for the time-predictable processor Patmos and research on interaction between the processor architecture, the instruction set, and WCET analysis. Besides research within the T-CREST project, the candidate will be involved in teaching at DTU Informatics. In particular a new course on Compiler shall be developed.
