The School of Computing at the University of Kent at Canterbury is =
looking=20
for a Research Assistant and a PhD student to work in the area of =
concurrent=20
garbage collection under the supervision of Richard Jones and Fred =
Barnes on=20
the EPSRC-funded project

    MirrorGC: Garbage Collection for Multicore Systems

The aim of the project is to explore how we can exploit hardware =
parallelism=20
on current and emerging platforms, paying particular attention to =
locality.=20

Candidates for the Research Assistant post should have experience of =
designing=20
and implementing concurrent algorithms, knowledge of modern garbage =
collection=20
techniques, and experience of working with large open source systems =
such as=20
JikesRVM.

Applicants for the PhD studentship should have a very good degree in =
computer=20
science or a related subject, and a strong interest in programming =
languages
and their implementation. Good Java programming skill, and knowledge of =
concurrent
systems and/or garbage collection would be an advantage. The PhD =
studentship covers
both fees and maintenance.
