Dear Colleagues:

The University of Melbourne (GRIDS Lab) has an opening for Research
Fellow (Grid Computing) position at "PostDoctoral" Level to work on
Australian Research Council (ARC) funded Discovery Project “QoS-based
Scheduling of e-Research Application Workflows on Global Grids”.
Candidates about to complete their PhD studies (in 2-3 months) are also
eligible. Pls see attached message (below) for details.

We are looking for a candidate with a proven track record in parallel
and distributed computing research especially in Grid computing with
focus on resource management, SLA-based resource allocation, and QoS
scheduling. If you know any such candidate who might be interested in
opening at the University of Melbourne, please share this message with them.

Thanks
Raj

Research Fellow (Grid Computing) at PostDoctoral Level
Salary: $47,782 - $64,840 (Level A)
Employment type: Full-time Fixed Term
Campus: Parkville
Dept: Computer Science and Software Engineering

Remuneration

Salary: $47,782 - $64,840 p.a. (Research Fellow Grade 1, Level A)
Superannuation: Employer superannuation contributions of 9 percent.

The position is within the Grid Computing and Distributed Systems
(GRIDS) Laboratory, with Australian Research Council (ARC) funded
Discovery Project “QoS-based Scheduling of e-Research Application
Workflows on Global Grids”. The objective of this project is to develop
a system and algorithms for scheduling workflow applications on global
Grids. This position reports to Associate Professor Rajkumar Buyya and
research will be carried out as part of a larger Gridbus Project
(http://www.gridbus.org).

Project Summary: The emerging Grid computing and e-Science paradigm
enables researchers from different disciplines and organisations to
engage in collaborative scientific investigation. They need to share
geographically distributed resources owned by different organisations.
Grid applications need to negotiate with resource providers for
guarantees on access time, duration and level of quality of service
(QoS). To meet these requirements, this project aims to develop
technologies that support (a) QoS-based scheduling of e-Research
application workflows on distributed resources, (b) mechanisms for
negotiating service level agreements (SLA) with resource providers, and
(c) a system that supports SLA-based allocation and management of resources.
