Loughborough, United Kingdom Loughborough University Full time

The Department of Computer Science at Loughborough University is seeking to appoint a Research Assistant/Associate to work on an Innovate UK funded project on serverless edge computing. The ServerlessEdge project aims to research and develop a novel serverless edge Function as a Service (FaaS) engine to optimise existing edge routers to enable connected edge devices to operate on-site in real-time in traditionally low connectivity environments without the need to deploy and support additional on-site IT infrastructure or centralised services.

The Research Assistant/Associate will be based in the internationally renowned Department of Computer Science at Loughborough University, UK. Founded in 1974, the Department of Computer Science is one of the most well-established university computing departments in the UK with a long track record of developing skilled and highly employable graduates, as well as a reputation for cutting edge research and industry engagement. Based in the recently multi-million pound refurbished Haslegrave Building, the Department is one of the largest within the School of Science.

Loughborough University is one of the country's top 10 universities, consistently ranked by the Guardian Good University guide and other assessment indexes, confirmed as having world-class research facilities in sports, engineering and sciences and has been awarded a record seven Queen’s Anniversary prizes for impact to society and UK industry.
