今天早上无意中发现的两个极好的phd机会,以后工作肯定不不愁的。
PhD Position: Performance Engineering for Service-Oriented Architectures Click here to Apply
SAP Research: SAP is the world's largest inter-enterprise software company and the world's third-largest independent software provider overall. SAP Research studies emerging IT trends and deploys new technologies in real-life environments to determine their potential business value for SAP. Research Centres are situated in several locations worldwide. Our Belfast (UK) Research Centre currently has PhD positions available in the area of performance engineering for service-oriented architectures in collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Ulster.
PhD Program: The PhD program at SAP Research offers you a great chance to get industry experience in a real-life project, to work with top researchers, and to have the opportunity to develop your own research network. As SAP Research is a consortium member in various partly government funded projects, it forms an ideal platform for working on a doctoral thesis in conjunction with university partners.
As a PhD candidate you will be employed by SAP on a 3 year contract during which time it is expected that you complete your submission of a PhD thesis. Salary will be similar to university-based PhD studentships and tuition fees will be paid by SAP. You will be based primarily at the SAP Research Centre in Belfast, participating in a SAP research project that is closely aligned to your PhD topic. You will also participate in the standard activities of full-time PhD students at the University of Ulster including attending supervisor meetings, seminars and other training workshops.
Research Topic: Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a new paradigm for constructing complex software systems and promises much greater flexibility for composing tailored enterprise applications that satisfy specific customer needs and business strategies. However, the non-functional behaviour of such systems, such as performance, is not yet well understood. Collaborative research is being carried out between SAP Research in Belfast and the University of Ulster to derive more comprehensive performance and resource models for Service Oriented Architectures within SAP. Our vision is that these models will evolve over time and enable better decision-support during any phase of a software solution's lifecycle. The major research themes and potential PhD topics in this context include:
How to describe the performance and resource consumption characteristics of services/components in a complex service-oriented architecture.
How to capture the performance and resource consumption characteristics in an automated way and with minimal overhead on development teams.
How to derive benchmarking applications for SOA and describe resource requirements in a hardware independent way.
Identifies new methodologies and techniques for landscape management within a virtualized adaptive IT infrastructure
Student Pre-requisites Potential PhD students will be expected to have a First Class honours degree, or equivalent, in Computer Science or a closely related discipline with a broad appreciation of the research topics described above. Candidates will also be expected to have very strong capabilities in self-organisation and the ability to work in an international team of researchers.
How to apply Please apply by sending a cover letter and your latest resume to research.belfast@sap.com . Please refer to job post PhD Performance Engineering in your application.

PhD Position: Management in Virtual Environments Click here to Apply
Company Overview: SAP is the world's largest inter-enterprise software company and the world's third-largest independent software provider overall. SAP Research studies emerging IT trends and deploys new technologies in real-life environments to determine their potential business value for SAP. Research Centres are situated in several locations worldwide. The SAP Research Centre in Belfast has a PhD position available in the area of the establishment and management of Virtual Environments. This research area is of very high industrial importance for SAP and will strengthen the leadership of SAP within the inter-enterprise market. As a result, the candidate will have excellent job opportunities.
PhD Program: The PhD program at SAP Research offers you a great chance to get industry experience in a real-life project, to work with top researchers from all over the world, and to have the opportunity to develop your own research network. As SAP Research is a consortium member in various partly government funded projects, it forms an ideal platform for working on a doctoral thesis in conjunction with university partners. After finishing your PhD, you will normally encounter very attractive job opportunities within SAP.
As a PhD candidate you will be employed by SAP on a 3 year contract during which time it is expected that you complete the submission of your PhD thesis. The salary will be similar to university-based PhD studentships and tuition fees will be paid by SAP. You will be based primarily at the SAP Research Centre in Belfast, participating in a SAP research project that is closely aligned to your PhD topic. You will also participate in the standard activities of full-time PhD students at Queen's University Belfast including attending supervisor meetings, seminars and other training workshops.
Research Topic: Businesses in future service-oriented economies need to act in a more agile fashion than ever before. Therefore, business to business interaction must become as dynamic as possible in order to deliver the requested services. This directly leads to the concept of Virtual Management in which it should be possible to dynamically and frequently assign resources (physical or virtual) to services within short periods of time. The life time of such dynamic environments can be in the range of minutes. Consequently, new mechanisms to establish and control such dynamic environments are needed. In particular, the following topics must be addressed:
Systematic analysis of state-of-the-art dynamic business situations in real production environments,
A detailed analysis of the construction of dynamic environments in various layers ,
The study of different possibilities and corresponding constraints to form and destroy dynamic execution environments,
Investigation of the dependencies between general management of dynamic compute environments and data management.
Student Pre-requisites Potential PhD students will be expected to have a First Class honours degree, or equivalent, in Computer Science or a closely related discipline with a broad appreciation of the research topics described above. Candidates will also be expected to have very strong capabilities in self-organisation and the ability to work in an international team of researchers.
