Denmark: PhD Scholarship in Computer Science

Deadline: 18 August 2013

Roskilde University -The Department of Communication, Business and Information Technologies (CBIT)

The Department of Communication, Business and Information Technologies (CBIT) at Roskilde University invites applications for a PhD scholarship in Computer Science to be filled by 1 September 2013 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The scholarship will be jointly financed by CBIT and a 3-year research project (ENTRA: Whole-Systems Energy Transparency, http://entraproject.eu) that started on 1 October 2012 funded by the European Commission’s 7th Framework programme. The goal of the ENTRA project is to promote energy-aware system development, using advanced program analysis and energy modelling techniques to make predictions of energy usage available to the system developer. This will enable optimizations both during code development and at run-time and lead to more energy-efficient computer systems.

Roskilde University (RUC) is situated on a campus just east of the town of Roskilde, 25 minutes by train from Copenhagen Central Station. PhD students in Computer Science are normally affiliated with the PhD programme DMIT (Design and Management of Information Technology) within the CBIT Doctoral School.

Applications will be treated in accordance with current rules about employment in teaching and research positions at Danish universities. Terms of appointment and salary will be according to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.

For further information about the position or to get feedback on possible PhD project proposals, please contact Professor John Gallagher, phone +45 4674 2196, e-mail: jpg@ruc.dk.

For further information about PhD programme and organisation, please contact Head of Doctoral School, Keld Bødker keldb@ruc.dk .

The salary is 34,900 GBP

The application must include:

1. A project description of 2-4 pages where you develop a research proposal, outlining possible problems relevant to the ENTRA project and solution approaches together with reference to the appropriate state of the art. A copy of the ENTRA project description is available on request.
2. CV
3. Copies of relevant exams and results
4. Assessment of master thesis, if available
