We are still looking for people. Ad blurb below, hopefully once a year or so is not too often. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The IBM Center For Advanced Studies (Atlantic) [1] has several fully funded positions available for graduate students working on Python related projects. Topics include garbage collection, just-in-time compilation, parallel and distributed computing, programming language interoperability, and sandboxing. Students will have a chance to work on open source projects, including OMR [2]. We have a lively group of professors, students, postdocs, and research assistants working on related problems. Students work closely with both UNB researchers and technical experts from IBM, gaining valuable perspective and experience. 1 Qualifications ════════════════ For positions at the Master's level, UNB requires a Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent; at the PhD level we normally require a Master's degree in computer science or a closely related area. These project will require substantial hands-on and experimental work, and being comfortable with Python and C++. Familiarity with Linux and Open Source Software development would be a plus. Exposure to programming language concepts like GC, JIT, and bytecode would be an asset. Several positions would benefit from a background in operating systems, or parallel programming frameworks. 2 Support ═════════ These positions are "fully funded"; the exact funding package is subject to finalization but will be consistent with other fully funded students in Computer Science at UNB. You can find some information about expenses on the UNB web site[3]. 3 Contact ═════════ Send your resumé and unofficial transcripts by email to Stephen MacKay <smack...@unb.ca> Please specify whether you are interested in a position at the Masters or PhD level, and any listed topics of particular interest.
