PhD scholarship in High-Performance Functional Programming
[image: HIPERFIT dinner]
The PhD student will be working in the Research Center for Functional
High-Performance Computing for Financial Information Technology (
www.hiperfit.dk). The PhD scholarship is funded by the Danish Council for
Strategic Research and will be carried out at DIKU <http://www.diku.dk/> in
formal collaboration with the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the
Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen and several finance
it-partners in the Copenhagen area. The objective of the PhD project is to
develop, implement and evaluate techniques related to executing,
efficiently and safely, high-level, functional specifications of both
numeric and symbolic computations on modern, highly parallel computational
platforms such as multi- and many-core CPUs, GPGPUs and FPGAs.
[image: HIPERFIT workshop]The candidate must – in addition to the
qualifications listed below – have a solid academic background in the
relevant areas of computer science, as demonstrated by academic courses and
project/thesis work related to several of the following areas: Functional
programming, programming language theory, and compilers. Experience with
either high-performance computing, mathematical finance, domain-specific
language or parallel algorithms is desirable, but not required.
The position is available from 1st November 2014 or as soon as possible
thereafter. Enquiries about the position can be made to Professor Fritz
Henglein, e-mail hengl...@di.ku.dk, phone +45 30589576.
