Institute of Computer Science (ICS)
Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH)
******************************************************
Postdoc positions are available at the Institute of Computer Science (ICS), Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), Heraklion, Crete Island, Greece. These positions are funded by an excellence grant approved by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (see https://persist-project.gr/index.html for more information).
RESEARCH TOPIC
-----------------------------
Next generation computer systems will rely on emerging memory technologies, such as Non-Volatile Memory (NVM), to address the high computational demands of modern applications and provide persistence. The project, called PERSIST, focuses on designing synchronization primitives and concurrent data structures and algorithms, including indexing structures for big data, and in particular of data series analytics, whose execution will be recoverable at no significant cost. A recoverable algorithm is fault-tolerant in the sense that after a failure and uponrecovery, threads can resume their execution from some point near to the point of the failure (so, they avoid paying the cost of re-executing their computation from scratch). PERSIST also aims at building the theoretical underpinning of NVM-based computing.
The project provides very good opportunities of collaboration with top-tier research teams across the globe, and internship opportunities at the industry. Μore information about the project can be found at

FORTH ICS & UNIVERSITY OF CRETE
----------------------------------------------
The Institute of Computer Science (FORTH ICS) is one of the leading research centres in Greece with well-organized facilities and highly qualified staff. It has an internationally acknowledged reputation in conducting basic and applied research, developing applications and products, and providing services. FORTH ICS has strong international collaborations, and has formed several alliances with industrial partners both inside Greece and internationally.
The Institute of Computer Science is located at the relatively-new, modern building of FORTH which provides all required infrastructure. More information about FORTH ICS can be found at: http://www.ics.forth.gr/
THE ISLAND OF CRETE
-------------------------------------
Living in Crete, the biggest (and one of the most beautiful) island in Greece, can become an exciting experience. Crete is a multicolored mosaic of mythology, history, culture, friendly and proud people, rough and stony mountains, gorges, the always bright cretan sun and the deep sea that surrounds the island. In addition to the facilities offered by its big cities, one can really enjoy the beauty of the landscape and the mountains.
