Post-doc opportunity Verification of Time Sensitive Safety Critical Systems

[Wendy MacCaull]

Post-doc opportunity: Verification of Time Sensitive Safety Critical Systems using High Performance Computing

This is a two-year post doctoral position offering the successful candidate the opportunity to be at the forefront in developing technology for safety critical systems with applications to health services delivery. The motivational problems involve modeling and verifying workflow systems using innovative workflow management frameworks. Case studies will involve very large workflows for community-based health care programs.
The candidate will have the opportunity to:
--  work with researchers and graduate students in a large interdisciplinary R&D project led by Dr. Wendy MacCaull, at StFX University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, (see www.logic.stfx.ca);
-- collaborate with our industry partners;
 -- work closely with a variety of health care professionals;
-- collaborate and network with the Canadian Consortium in High Performance Computing, and researchers at universities across Canada;
--  reside in a small town with an affordable lifestyle, close to beaches and scenic landscapes, with a thriving Academic and Arts community, in close proximity (2 hours) to a major metropolitan city.
This position is partially supported by the ACEnet (Atlantic Computational Excellence Network see www.ace-net.ca) Research Fellowships Program and by ACOA through the Atlantic Innovation Fund.
Qualifications:
- PhD in Computer Science (awarded in the last 5 years) and a strong background in formal methods or related area; knowledge and expertise in parallel and distributed computing is an asset;
- Commitment to work on applied problems;
- Ability to present information in English clearly, both in verbal and written formats;
- Enjoys working in a collaborative environment. Salary: $43,000 per year (plus a funding allowance for conference presentations). Second year funding is contingent on satisfactory performance during the first year.
To apply: Send
(1) a 1 page cover letter briefly describing how your education and experience fit the requirements of this position;
(2) a detailed CV with descriptions of previous research projects and applied experience;
(3) names and contact information for 3 references (names, addresses, e-mail addresses and phone numbers);
(4) copies of recent publications,
to Wendy MacCaull at wmaccaul at stfx.ca. Use the subject: Verification Methods for Time Sensitive Safety Critical Systems using HPC - Rnd 3. Review of the applications will begin mid-January; the researcher must be in place by late summer 2011.
