Ph.D. studies at DSRG

This is about Ph.D. studies specifically at DSRG. We also have a page with information about Ph.D. studies in general.

Who are we ?

At Distributed Systems Research Group (DSRG), the Ph.D. studies are mainly based on our projects. On one hand, this means that you can be cofunded from the projects and that you can also find your research topic during the work on them. On the other hand, this also constrains the research topics to ones closely related to our current projects.

As a part of our effort to stay familiar with the recent related work and to train our English language skills, the Ph.D. students are expected to take part in our English-only group seminar (see here). English language skills are of key importance. This is the language of the majority of workshops, conferences, and summer schools. Moreover, we cooperate with a number of foreign institutions and companies on international projects and unsurprisingly the common language is English.

What do we do ?

Our research topics are mainly focused on:

• Component systems

• Software verification

• Software benchmarking

• Opearting systems

For more comprehensive list take a look at our current and past projects.

We believe that our work is interesting and rewarding, however, it is also intensive. We need people who are reliable and consistent and can dedicate their full capacity to research, which typically does not mix well with having other job obligations. Students need to systematically discuss own work with colleagues since exchange of opinions brings new ideas. Therefore, we expect people to be around, attend seminars and be willing to invest their time, for the benefit of their own and the whole group.

What do we offer?

The nature of our work provides us with sources to support our students. While we cannot provide regular income comparable with IT industry jobs, we certainly take care to provide members of our team with additional funding from the projects they participate on.

Who do we look for ?

We look for people who are interested in our research topic, who are sincerely willing to give it a try and who show a reasonable degree of expertise in their past work (SW project, master thesis, ...). As our capacity is not unlimited, we cannot promise to take in everyone, but we do our best to accomodate the applicants.

As already said above, you should talk to people, so just talk to us :o).
