[Ioan Raicu]

      Research Assistantship Opportunities

There are multiple opportunities for funded work opportunities in the 
Data-Intensive Distributed Systems Laboratory (DataSys), starting in the 
summer of 2011; funding is available for 5 years, but is contingent on 
good progress towards a PhD degree. If you think you meet the admission 
requirements <http://www.iit.edu/csl/cs/programs/grad/admission.shtml> 
to the PhD program in Computer Science, and have a desire to pursue 
research in distributed systems working on real problems on some of the 
worlds largest systems (e.g. IBM BlueGene/P 
<http://www.top500.org/system/9158>, Cray XT5 
<http://www.top500.org/system/10184>, Sun Constelation 
<http://www.top500.org/system/9854>, IBM Blue Waters 
<http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/BlueWaters/>, TeraGrid 
<https://www.teragrid.org/web/about/index>, Magellan 
<http://magellan.alcf.anl.gov/>, Amazon <http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/>, 
current projects at DataSys 
<http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/projects/index.html>), please send your 
resume/CV and a personal statement to Ioan Raicu at iraicu at cs.iit.edu 
<mailto:iraicu at cs.iit.edu>. Evaluation of applications will start on 
March 1st, 2011, and will continue until the positions are filled.

      DataSys

The DataSys Lab is a research lab in the CS department at IIT, being 
lead by Dr. Ioan Raicu. The DataSys Lab conducts research in various 
areas of distributed systems with an emphasis on designing, 
implementing, and evaluating systems, protocols, and middleware with the 
goal of supporting applications at extreme scales. The lab's mission is 
to investigate challenging, high-impact research projects to support 
both compute and data-intensive distributed computing on a variety of 
systems, from many-core systems, clusters, grids, clouds, and 
supercomputers. The DataSys Lab has strong ties with the Scalable 
Computing Software Laboratory 
<http://www.cs.iit.edu/%7Escs/home/home.html> at IIT, and the 
Distributed Systems Laboratory 
<http://dsl-wiki.cs.uchicago.edu/index.php/Main_Page> at University of 
Chicago <http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/> and Argonne National Laboratory 
<http://www.mcs.anl.gov/index.php>.


      Computer Science at IIT

The Computer Science (CS) department <http://www.iit.edu/csl/cs/> at 
Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) <http://www.iit.edu/> offers 
B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in computer science and has research 
strengths in distributed systems, information retrieval, computer 
networking, intelligent information systems and algorithms. IIT is 
located within 10 minutes of downtown Chicago, and is a dynamic and 
innovative institution. The department has strong connections to Fermi 
<http://www.fnal.gov/> and Argonne National Laboratories 
<http://www.anl.gov/>, and to local industry. An interesting short video 
clip about IIT can be found here 
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSCg-pNGU54>. The CS graduate program at 
IIT ranks 82 out of 126 in the latest CRA Computer Science Graduate 
Program Rankings.
