Full time: 35 hours per week.
Fixed term: for 12 months.
The School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh invites applications for a research associate position in the area of operating systems for an exciting project about operating systems architectures for new generation of computer hardware with pervasive (cache coherent or non-cache coherent) shared memory, including next generation of near data processing platforms.
The Opportunity:
The goal is to investigate if and how existing operating systems can be redesigned to support emerging data-center computer hardware that will offer pervasive shared memory among different machines, and potentially includes in-memory near data processing. Such pervasive shared memory is going to be provided by new interconnect technologies like Compute Express Link (CXL), while in-memory near data processing devices are already commercially available (e.g., UpMem), but newer technologies are anticipated.
Candidates for this position are expected to have a PhD (or nearing completion) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field with a demonstrated background in operating systems kernel. Strong programming skills in C/C++ and assembly (at least x86 and ARM) are mandatory.
Evidence of high-quality research – e.g., through high-quality publications or high-quality research artifacts – is desirable.
We are looking for candidates committed towards high-impact research and making a real difference.
Candidates will have the freedom to define and explore their independent research agenda aligned with the project. They will also have the opportunity to work with students and collaborate with partners from academia and industry.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week) and is available for 12 months (funding end date is 14th November 2025)
Your skills and attributes for success:
- PhD (or near completion) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field
- Demonstrated experience with OS kernel hacking and development
- Programming skills (including C/C++ and assembly) and a commitment to creating usable software artifacts
- Understanding of the different key OS architectures, particularly the ones proposed for HPC
- Ability to communicate complex information clearly, orally and in writing
£39,347 to £46,974 per annum (Grade 7)
