ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR IN LARGE-SCALE QUERY PROCESSING 
   AT THE NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (NTNU)

The Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at
the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
http://www.ntnu.edu/ie invites applications for a full-time permanent
associate professor in Databases affiliated with the Department of
Computer Science, in Trondheim https://www.ntnu.edu/idi 
The position is affiliated with the Data and Artificial Intelligence
(DART) group https://www.ntnu.edu/idi/people/dart 

Please note that in the Norwegian university system, there is
essentially only two academic ranks for candidates with a PhD (Full
Professor and Associate Professor), so the requirements for the
announced position are similar to the Assistant Professor rank in
many other countries. In particular, for the announced position, we
especially encourage young researchers to apply.

ABOUT THE POSITION

Query processing has been an important research area for several
decades. The advent of Big Data has created new challenges that can
only be solved by efficient use of computing resources, typically
achieved by novel algorithms, indexing techniques, and often in
combination with appropriate parallelization of queries. Our group has
a strong history in large-scale query processing, dating back to the
70s, and we now want to strengthen our team with one more associate
professor.

Applicants must have a formal background in computer science, with
research focus on query processing in databases (algorithms and indexing techniques).

REQUIREMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Applicants must have a doctorate in computer science, with a
specialisation in databases. Applicants should have a solid list of
peer reviewed publications within this area.

Newly employed academic staffs who do not already master a
Scandinavian language are required to obtain knowledge of Norwegian or
another Scandinavian language within three years of taking up the
position. Courses are available at the University.
