Open PhD position:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Research Topic:
Advanced Design Methods for Real-Time Embedded Systems with Adaptability Support
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Job Description:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The PhD candidate will conducts highly competitive research in the area of Embedded Multi-processor Systems where the adaptation is part of the nominal system operation. Adaptive embedded multi-processor systems are emerging in application domains such as automotive, avionics, Internet of Things, etc. The research work will be on devising new modeling, analysis, and implementation techniques that provide real-time and power consumption guarantees on the expected system behavior. Developing such techniques is very challenging because the multi-processor embedded systems have to be adaptable to a diverse possible range of events.
During this research project, the PhD candidate will gain a lot of theoretical and practical experience in the field of designing embedded and real-time systems. In addition, there will be a plenty of opportunities to interact and cooperate with researchers from top international and national research institutions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Job Requirements:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The successful applicant should be a very motivated university graduate who is a top performer among his/her peers, has an excellent education and/or research track record proven by relevant experience, publications, etc. You are expected to conduct original competitive scientific research, publishing the results in top conferences and scientific journals, and participating in teaching duties.
Applicants are expected to have a university degree (MSc), preferably in Computer Science or Computer (Electrical) Engineering. Applicants must also be proficient in spoken and written English.

Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science, Leiden University, The Netherlands
The PhD research will be carried out in the Leiden Embedded Research Center (LERC) at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science, Leiden University. LERC is an expert group
and an internationally recognized leader in advanced research in Embedded Systems and Software. The group covers two related topics in this rapidly evolving domain: 1) Embedded Systems theory and applications; 2) Embedded Systems Design methods, techniques, CAD tools and toolflows. The research at LERC deals with abstract application models, platform/architecture models, and mapping models, at various levels of abstraction, for performance analysis, exploration and design, conceptually and practically, down to real platform/system implementations. The main mission of LERC is by its research to contribute in a highly innovative way to the system-level design of Embedded Systems, conceptually (theory), methodologically (design methods and tools), and structurally (platforms/architectures). Finally, LERC is advocating and applying state-of-the-art Software Engineering Techniques both in the way the group's projects are integrated, documented, and assessed, and in the way CAD software tools are written, tested and assessed. All this justifies the LERC belief that "The CAD software is the Publication" that makes significant impact in the research and industrial community. In this respect, one of the LERC research achievements is the DAEDALUS open source framework for automated design, programming, and implementation of multi-processor embedded systems, targeting streaming multimedia applications.
