Free Education for PhD positions in Computer Science and Computer Engineering at University College Dublin, Ireland

PhD Positions in Computer Science and Computer Engineering UCD School of Computer Science and Informatics UCD College of Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
The Systems Research Group is now seeking well-qualified, motivated PhD researchers who want to be part of the second phase of our development into a world-class research group in systems and software technology. The SRG focuses on the systems aspects of computer science: how individual components are created and composed to create large-scale, highly functional adaptive systems.

To date the group has secured over EUR5m in funding from a variety of sources in the areas of pervasive computing, visualisation, systems, software verification, software engineering, digital radio hardware, semantics and software tools. In addition the group works closely with industry partners such as IBM, Intel, Microsoft Research, Oracle, and Hewlett Packard.

About the SRG:
The SRG started in April of 2005 and has now grown to encompass five faculty, five postdoctoral researchers and over 30 Ph.D. students. The SRG is located in the School of Computer Science and Informatics, University College Dublin (UCD) in Dublin, Ireland.

UCD has over 22,000 students including 2,500 international students from over 80 countries and is situated on a large modern campus 4 km to the south of the centre of Dublin. The Irish Government (SFI/Forfas) Baseline Study that ranked Irish research groups identified the School of Computer Science and Informatics at University College Dublin as the best Computer Science department in the country, having "a very strong impact internationally in their research."
