THE TEAM WORKING ON THIS PROJECT, CONSISTING OF THE PI WITH THREE NEW PHD STUDENTS, WORKS ACROSS THE ENTIRE EDGE STACK, (RE-)DEFINING HOW EDGE SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED, BUILT, AND OPERATED. TOGETHER, WE AIM TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOUR RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

• What is the right architecture to build a distributed edge cloud, taking into account the trade-offs betweencost, performance, bandwidth, and energy?
• How to design adaptive edge applications that can utilize the full potential of the edge infrastructure giventhe multiple edge constraints?
• How to manage the workload dynamics of real-time edge cloud applications taking into account mobility,load spikes, failures, and performance inversion?
• How to manage and process massive data of edge applications in real-time while maintaining therequirements on data privacy and security?

QUALIFICATIONS

To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline.
The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.

• The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree. Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service.

• Research
• Writing research grants
• Maintaining a cutting edge research infrastructure with small and large server nodes
  Your major responsibility as postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group. The position may also include teaching on undergraduate and master’s levels as well as supervising master’s and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector.
