Background
EMJD-DC intends to become a permanent reference model for international doctoral studies in Distributed Systems and beyond. Students carry out their research work over up to four years in two universities from different countries, with additional mobility to industry in most projects. Joint training schools will cover both scientific topics and transferable skills, such as project and scientific management, communication, innovation techniques. EMJD-DC will initially award double degrees, however a task will study pathways to the implementation of a Joint Degree. The research projects address some of the key technological challenges of our time, mainly but not exclusively: ubiquitous data-intensive applications, scalable distributed systems (including Grid and Cloud computing, and P2P models), adaptive distributed systems (autonomic computing, green computing, decentralized and voluntary computing), and applied distributed systems (distributed algorithms and systems, working in an inter-disciplinary manner, in existing and emerging fields to address industrial and societal needs in the European and worldwide context.
Eligibility
- Applicants must have completed a higher education degree of computer science or areas related to distributed computing in the M.Sc. level
of the European LMD system (300 ECTS credits), or equivalent academic qualifications from an internationally recognized university.
Excellent grades from courses in distributed systems, operating systems, networking, programming languages, computer architectures, and
theory of computing are expected.
- Applicants must provide proof of their English language proficiency, which is most commonly established through an internationally
recognized test. These can be IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge certificates.
Fellowship amount
- Fixed contribution to the travel, installation and any other types of cost: 7500 € for category A, 3000 € for category B if mobility foreseen to
3rd country partners.
- A monthly gross salary of 2800 € (before deduction of any taxes or contributions) that corresponds to a net salary of around 1300-1500 €
(to be fixed in the doctoral candidate agreement depending on national legislation).
Deadline: 23 January 2012
