Post-doc and RA opening (Oct 2011). We are now looking for a postdoctoral researcher / research assistant in an applied/systems research project of distributed storage systems. The main objective of the project is to develop practical mechanisms that can enhance the robustness and security of a large-scale, network-coding-based distributed storage system. The project will carry a strong systems research component with extensive prototyping and experimentation. We also hope to publish our findings in top-tier academic conferences. For more information about the project, please refer to our prior work here: http://ansrlab.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/software/ncfs. We are looking for candidates with the following qualifications: - strong in C or C++ - strong systems programming in a Linux environment - strong writing / presentation skills - high intellectual curiosity (e.g., willing and motivated to learn new things so as to expand one's intellectual horizon) - persistence and determination in research. The position is for at least 1 year and will start in December 2011 at the earliest. If you are interested, please send a detailed CV to me (pclee at cse.cuhk.edu.hk). Thanks, Patrick P. C.
