Computer Science Department at Jackson State University invites
applications for a position as POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE.
This research position is available on a 2-year DOE-Funded project
entitled "Enabling Technology for Building High Performance
Distributed Information Storage and Retrieval Systems". The goal
of the research project is to develop novel methods of managing
large-scale inverted files using DPSS (Distributed-Parallel Storage
System; Developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) as a
high performance storage server.
Research issues being investigated include inverted file block
allocation and layout strategies, application-controlled cache
management, dynamic incremental updates of inverted files, and
hierarchical and dynamic reliability schems.
The project research will be conducted by close collaborations
with the DPSS research group at LBNL. As such, summer research
will be conducted at LBNL (1 to 2 months).
The project will start on September 1, 1997. The Research Associate
will work on the project with 2 PIs and 4 graduate students. Salary
is competitive. The grant includes provision for attendance at relevant
conferences and workshops. It also includes travel support for attending
research meetings and summer research activities at LBNL.
Applicants should have a PhD in Computer Science/Engineering, or
Information Systems with research background and interests in computer
systems, Database Systems, and distributed computing. Knowledge in
Information Storage and Retrieval System is a plus.
Jackson State University is located in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi,
the capital and largest city of the state, and is one of the four major
universities in the State of Mississippi. Computer Science Department
in the School of Science and Technology at JSU is growing rapidly, and
offers B.S. and M.S. degree programs.
Interested candidates should contact Dr. Gwang S. Jung or
Dr. Qutaibah Malluhi. Applications should include a curriculum vitae,
a statement of the current research interests, and e-mail addresses of
three references.
