PhD at University of Cambridge, Computer Laboratory

Applications are invited from students with backgrounds in computer science or electronic engineering for a PhD studentship at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge. The successful candidate will join an EPSRC funded project which is investigating a novel massively-parallel single-chip processor architecture targeting high-performance embedded applications. Research is currently being pursued at the language, compiler and architecture levels. Future work will aim to perform a detailed exploration of the on-chip network and microarchitectural design space and explore the application of novel circuit-level techniques. A successful applicant would join a small, but highly motivated, group of researchers exploring a broad range of exciting problems.

An excellent academic track record is essential (1st class honours degree). Projects exist for students with both computer science or electronics/VLSI backgrounds, although a good understanding of computer architecture is necessary in either case.

The studentship offers full costs (fees plus stipend) for 36 months for UK and EU citizens, who satisfy the eligibility criteria of the UK Research Councils. The studentship is not available to citizens of non-EU countries.

Informal enquiries may be made to Dr. Robert Mullins, Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge (email: Robert.Mullins@cl.cam.ac.uk). Please contact Dr. Mullins as soon as possible if you are interested.
