We are looking for persons with a Dipl.-Ing. / MSc. in computer science, mathematics, software & information engineering, electrical engineering, or a similar field with a background in one (or more) following areas: systems science, distributed systems, virtualized HPC systems, data science, or environmental sensing. The candidates should already have demonstrated strong work commitment and the ability to work independently and as a team player with strong interpersonal and communication skills. In ourcutting-edge project, we are pushing the boundaries of current paradigms, programming, and resilience models to develop a new generation of digital twins.

Students will work, among others, on our newly approved WWTF project AI-supported Holographic Environmental Water Monitoring (HoloWaterAI) on the foundational methods for developing digital twins in close collaboration with BOKU Wien. We expect the candidate to have strong knowledge in at least one of the following areas:

• formal methods (e.g., model checking, temporal logic)
• machine learning (e.g., DBNs)
• in-situ testing
• edge and cloud computing

Our working language is English, and there is no need to learn German, although we will encourage and support any German-learning ambitions. There are no teaching duties unless they are desired. We offer an excellent working environment in a highly motivated team with diverse expertise, competencies, research backgrounds, and career stages.

We offer competitive salaries for WWTF project staff (14 x per annum): 30h per week € 2,684.10 gross.
Applications are accepted until positions are filled, the start is possible in March 2025 or later.

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral researcher to engage in cutting-edge scientific research in the fields of High Performance Computing, Computational Sustainability, and Cloud/Edge Systems. We are particularly interested in candidates with deep expertise in methodologies ranging from software engineering of the computational continuum to hybrid classical-quantum systems, all aimed at driving advancements in computational sustainability.

Our research group, supported by FWF, FFG, and various industrial collaborations, is focused on pioneering foundational concepts such as transprecision in hybrid (classical-quantum) systems, and developing innovative mechanisms for code offloading. Additionally, we are dedicated to creating digital twins of man-made and biological objects, with a strong emphasis on maintaining and enhancing sustainability.

If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of these cutting-edge fields, we invite you to apply and join our team. Tasks include:

• Independent and goal-oriented research
• Independent teaching or participation in teaching and supervision of students
