UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

PRELIMINARY JOB ANNOUNCEMENT

VACANCIES FOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATES IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING FOR DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS & DISTRIBUTED MULTIMEDIA AND REAL-TIME SYSTEMS

The Department of Computer Science of the University of Cyprus intends to officially announce shortly (within the next three months) a number of new positions for Research Associates within the research projects BETSY ("BEing on Time Saves EnergY") and MADAM (Mobility and ADaptation enAbling Middleware"), to be funded by IST of FP6.

The positions are initially for one (1) year renewable annually up to the end of the projects (each project will run for a total of 30 months). The annual salary for a Research Associate starts at the A8 scale (about CY # 9,000 initially, but the exact amount will depend on qualifications and prior experience). [At present CY #1 = 1.7 EUROs and CY #1 = 2 US dollars, approximately.]

Project BETSY will develop the required infrastructure needed by handheld devices to support continuous multimedia streaming. Project MADAM will provide software engineers with the required modelling language extensions, tools and middleware for the development of innovative mobile-based applications.

A suitable candidate for the above positions should have a first degree in Computer Science and, preferably, also a sufficiently specialised postgraduare degree. S/He should also be at ease with programming in large scale software projects. The specialisation areas for the first project are: real-time systems, embedded systems, QoS requirements, multimedia systems; and for the second project are: middleware platforms, mobile computing, MDA (model-driven architectures).

Applicants need not be citizens of the Republic of Cyprus. Knowledge of the Greek language, although considered a practical advantage, is by no means a requirement. The research activities pursued by the successful applicants can lead to the earning of a Ph.D. if they so wish (in this case, any academic fees for enroling to the Department's Ph.D. programme are waived). Due to the involvement of the successful candidates in using cutting edge technologies, these posts are also suitable for a post doc.

Anyone interested in these forthcoming vacancies and planning to apply when they are formally announced, is kindly asked to contact us (preferably electronically) as soon as possible at the address below and provide us with a CV together with a short description of their research interests and background. Submitted documents may be written in Greek and/or English. Please send all relevant information to Associate Professor George A. Papadopoulos, E-Mail: george@cs.ucy.ac.cy, Tel: +357-22-892693, Fax: +357-22-892701.
