=========================================

Parallel Symbolic Computing Research Post

The next generation of HPC platform will provide teraflop performance  
from 10^5 or more cores. A major challenge is to develop the  
programming models and software infrastructures to effectively exploit  
these architectures. In the HPC-GAP project (High Performance  
Computational Algebra and Discrete Mathematics EPSRC EP/G055181) we  
aim to address this challenge for the GAP Group Algebra package.

You will join a team of four researchers in an ambitious programme to  
adapt the GAP computational algebra system to take advantage of modern  
high performance computers. You will collaborate with other HPC-GAP  
members at Aberdeen and St Andrews and Edinburgh Universities. You  
will take part in and publish research using the software you develop.

You will have excellent parallel system engineering expertise, a  
degree in computer science, an appropriate PhD or equivalent, and good  
teamwork skills. Desirable criteria include functional language  
experience, a track record of academic publications, experience  
preparing research grant applications, and experience with a range of  
software technologies.

You will start on 1 September 2009 and continue until the end of the  
grant in August 2013.
