Are you an early career researcher looking for your first challenge, or are you an experienced researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a background in distributed systems and optimisation algorithms? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive Universities?

You will join our EPSRC-funded project “Algorithmic Support for Massive Scale Distributed Systems”, which has been underway since 2020.   Your work will be built upon ongoing research of the two project teams, theoretical and applied.

As a Research Assistant you will have a BSc, BEng or MEng in Computer Science, and experience in algorithm design and implementation for optimising resource usage in distributed systems. You will also have experience of working independently, possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills with a willingness to work flexibly.

As a Research Fellow you will have a PhD (or have submitted your thesis before taking up the role) in Computer Science and significant experience in applied and theoretical research. The required areas of expertise are massive-scale resource management for distributed systems, optimisation algorithms and machine learning.
