<p>The SWAT hardware resilience research project led by Prof. Sarita Adve in
the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign is seeking a full-time Visiting Research Programmer. The SWAT
project is addressing the problem of system-level reliability for future CMOS
technologies, where devices are expected to be unreliable due to a variety of
fault sources. The SWAT project has developed novel techniques to design
reliable systems from unreliable components at a very low cost (<a
href="http://rsim.cs.uiuc.edu/swat">http://rsim.cs.uiuc.edu/swat</a>). The next
step is to evaluate these techniques on an FPGA prototype of the SWAT system. <o:p></o:p></p>

<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;

<p>For full consideration, please send a cover letter, resume, and 3
professional references via email to Professor Sarita Adve (sadve@illinois.edu)
prior to May 31, 2009. The position will be filled as soon as a suitable
