Position Summary:
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Associate Position in the Systems Software Research Group (http://www.ssrg.ece.vt.edu/) at Virginia Tech in the Popcorn Linux project (http://popcornlinux.org/) that involves developing compiler, run-time, and language support for emerging heterogeneous multicore architectures, in particular those with heterogeneous instruction sets (e.g., Xeon/Xeon-Phi, ARM /x86), from node-scale to rack-scale. The project aims to develop systems software for such platforms and scales, including OS, compiler, run-time, and language support, with high performance, energy efficiency, and programmability (e.g., hardware-agnostic programming). The position involves developing techniques and mechanisms, and contributing to open-source (e.g., LLVM , GCC ) and experimental projects (e.g., Popcorn Linux). The position is for two-year minimum, with strong possibilities for additional years, and have no teaching obligations.

Required Qualifications:
- PhD in Computer Engineering or Computer Science with background in compilers, run-times, programming languages, and virtualization are sought.
