西班牙巴塞罗那超级计算中心计算机科学博士后职位

We are opening a Research Postdoc Position to work on the development of data mining techniques for the characterization of MapReduce environments. The position will be located at BSC within the Computer Science department. The project will be a joint effort with a team of researchers from Microsoft Redmond. The project may also fit the work of a Master Thesis. Candidates must be interested in starting a research career in the scope of an international team.
The project will focus on the creation of performance models based on the automatic analysis of several hundred gigabytes of execution logs from Hadoop, both on local premises as well as in the cloud (mostly Azure). The data is collected and exposed through a portal (hadoop.bsc.es), which is an open data set. The challenge for the candidate will be to extract knowledge from the analysis of the existing data. Clustering techniques, neural networks (in particular deep learning) and other machine learning approaches will be particularly valuable. Knowledge of highly distributed platforms, such as Hadoop, Spark, Cassandra or Storm will be also a plus.
We’re looking for highly talented and motivated candidates, willing to face great research challenges.
