The candidate is supposed to participate in an EU network of Excellence on the generation, compilation and optimization of programs for on-chip multiprocessors (MPSoCs). One of the Chair's hallmarks is the loop parallelization project LooPo, which can serve as a starting point for this work.

The position is initially available for a term of two years and is renewable for another two, possibly three years. After
acquisition of a doctoral degree, continuation as a postdoc is possible. The salary is determined by the candidate's age and family status according to the German civil service tariff TV-L.

Passau is located at the confluence of the major European rivers Inn and Danube, at the border of Germany and Austria and close to the Czech Republic. It is well connected with major European locations via train, and world-wide via the international airport at Munich.
