The Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) is a non-university research institute
under public law of the State of Berlin. Research focuses on
application-oriented mathematics and practical computer science as
well as the analysis and processing of complex data in connection with
high-performance computers. For the ‘Massively Parallel Data Analysis’
working group in the ‘Distributed Algorithms’ department, we are
looking for the following person at the earliest possible date or by
arrangement, limited until June 30th 2028

                    PhD Student / Scientific Employee (w/m/d)
                            Reference Code: WA 31/24
                        Pay grade E13 TV-L Berlin – 100%
                                   on the topic
       ‘Proactive Network, I/O, and Storage Steering in Distributed Systems’

In the second phase of the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Centre
SFB 1404 ‘FONDA: Foundations of Workflows for Large-Scale Scientific
Data Analysis’ at HU Berlin, we are researching in the sub- project
‘B4: Proactive Network, I/O, and Storage Steering for Multiple DAWs on
Shared Infrastructures’ at ZIB in cooperation with TU Darmstadt new
methods for the more efficient execution of so-called scientific data
analysis workflows. This is achieved, for example, through automated,
predictive distribution or migration of data objects for faster data
access or through customised bandwidth allocation for less
interference when several applications use the same execution platform
in parallel. A connection between the project work and a doctoral
project is desired and supported.

Your tasks

• Development, implementation and analysis of new methods with regard
  to the project objectives
• Testing and adapting the developed methods to cluster systems
• Active co-operation and coordination with the project partners,
• Goal-orientated, scientific work
• Publication of the results in conference and journal articles

Your profile

• University degree (Master's/Diploma) in computer science,
  mathematics or comparable subjects
• Knowledge of distributed systems, networks and file systems
• Programming experience preferably in C, C++, Java, Python and daily
  use of Linux
• Strong interest in new research questions, their solution and
  practical implementation
• good knowledge of the English language

Additionally, you have

• confident communication and teamwork skills,
• a high degree of independence and commitment as well as
• the ability and willingness to write scientific publications on an
  international level.

We are offering an active onboarding process to provide new employees
