The GMAP research group (Website: https://gmap.pucrs.br/gmap, GitHub: https://github.com/GMAP) at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (in the southern part of Brazil) invites applications for postdoctoral positions to investigate high-performance computing techniques in distributed heterogeneous computing systems. We seek highly motivated and independent individuals eager to contribute to our research, which spans GPU programming, fault-tolerance, malleability/elasticity, compiler techniques, benchmarking, and parallel application design.
About Our Research:
Our group is a high-performance computing (HPC) research group whose core philosophy is that performance is a fundamental characteristic of computer systems. We work with applied research aiming to solve real-world problems both in academia and industry.
Ongoing research and projects include:
- Parallel application development
- Parallelization with compilers
- GPU Programming
- Stream processing systems
- Fault-tolerance
- Elasticity and Malleability
- HPC Benchmarking
As a postdoctoral researcher, you will conduct research and collaborate with master's and doctoral students in one or more of these fields. We provide mentorship on experimental design and scientific communication, supporting the development of a publication-ready body of work at the frontiers of HPC research.
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in computer science or a related field;
- Experience in one or more of the research areas of the research group;
- Proven experience in publishing scientific research at peer-reviewed conferences and journals;
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team.
Desired Qualifications (not expected to have all of them):
- System languages such as C/C++ and Rust
- Scripting languages
- HPC MPI frameworks such as OpenMPI
- CUDA, OpenCL, or other GPU programming frameworks
- Clang/LLVM compiler frameworks
Scientific Environment:
The GMAP research group is situated at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul campus. The group is closely affiliated with the CIACD (Research Center in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science) and maintains active collaborations with foreign universities. Furthermore, GMAP has or has had projects/collaborations with industry partners, including HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise), SAP, and Petrobras. This location offers a rich, interdisciplinary ecosystem to help build your career.
Compensation and Duration:
- The salary starts from R$10.000,00 Brazilian reais free of taxes. It depends on the qualifications of the candidate.
- The scholarship contract can be extended for up to 3 years. We seek candidates who want to make significant progress in research so that we can offer a permanent position.
