Postdoc position at Virginia Tech on Compilers/Run-times

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Virginia Tech

A postdoctoral position is available in the Systems Software Research Group at Virginia Tech on the Popcorn operating system project. The Popcorn project involves developing scalable OS architectures for emerging heterogeneous multicore hardware. The position involves leading the development of OS subsystems and run-time libraries that enable transparent execution of Popcorn processes amongst heterogeneous-ISA architectures. Additionally, the position involves developing compiler and run-time technologies to enable cross-ISA (live) execution migration in simulation environments.

Recent computer science or computer engineering PhD graduates with background in run-time systems, compilers, OS, or virtual machines are sought. Background in LLVM, binary translation, JIT compilation, architecture simulation, etc., are particularly sought. The position is for two year minimum, with strong possibilities for additional years, and have no teaching obligations. Contact Prof. Binoy Ravindran with a CV at binoy@vt.edu.
