Cooperative Research Centre for Advanced Computational Systems (ACSys)
Cooperative Research Centre for Research Data Networks (RDN)


Applications are invited to fill two positions in the On-Line Data
Archives (OLDA) Program of the Advanced Computational Systems CRC
located in Canberra.  Collaborators include The Australian National
University, the South Australian Centre for Parallel Computing, CSIRO
Mathematical and Information Sciences and Sydney Vislab.

The OLDA Program seeks to demonstrate to Australian industrial and
scientific communities the potential benefits of high performance
computing and mass storage systems connected via broadband wide-area
networks.  The program will carry out research and development in
distributed object systems ("middleware") for this environment and
demonstrate the benefits through prototype applications.

The appointments will be made at either Postdoctoral Fellow (Level
A)/Research Fellow (Level B)/ANU Officer Grade 7 (Information
Technology) levels depending upon the qualifications and experience of
applicants.

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW/RESEARCH FELLOW (Level A/Level B) Non-Continuing 

Ref: ACS 22.3.2  The senior appointee would be expected to lead a small
project team and have a research record and active interest in
distributed systems technologies.  An important duty of the position is
to collaborate effectively with project teams at other sites.
Applicants for this position will need to be able to provide research
leadership in several of the following areas: evaluation of
distribution technologies such as CORBA or Java-RMI, data storage
across diverse mechanisms, massive data transfers, high level
protocols, latency issues, reliability and utilisation, and wide area
distributed network programming.

ANU Officer Grade 7 (Information Technology)  Fixed Term

Ref: R69520410/G972174  This appointee would be expected to join a
small project team, develop code to support distributed applications
and perform systems administration duties.  Previous experience in a
software engineering and/or research environment is highly desirable.
Applicants with an active interest in high performance computing
systems, broadband networks or distributed systems technologies will be
well regarded.
