About this position
This postdoctoral position sits within a 5-year Wallenberg Scholar project on scalable and adaptive inferencing for democratizing AI. The project aims to dramatically reduce the cost and power required to serve large language models such as ChatGPT, and it combines systems research with machine learning ideas to advance practical AI inference.
The work is centered at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and is embedded in a research lab environment where the successful candidate will work with faculty members and several doctoral students. The project involves experimental systems work and is described as part of an ambitious research effort with early publications and a dedicated project page. It offers the chance to contribute to scientific publications and new grant applications while working closely with the academic team.
Research tasks include the design, implementation, and evaluation of distributed systems and networks for machine learning inference. The advert also notes that applying machine learning concepts will be part of the work, with the goal of developing agentic frameworks. This is a strongly technical, systems-oriented role focused on improving how large-scale model inference is built and operated.
The collaboration is with Professor Dejan Kostic and Associate Professor Marco Chiesa, indicating close supervision in a research group that spans systems, networking, and AI infrastructure. The position is described as a first career step after a dissertation and is intended for postdoctoral research within KTH’s international technical university environment.
The broader setting emphasizes KTH’s research and innovation culture, creative working environment, and active role in sustainable societal transition. The advert highlights an international, publication-driven research context with strong collaboration between senior faculty and doctoral researchers.

What's required
A doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree is required and must be completed no later than the employment decision. Applicants should have a solid background in distributed systems, networking, programming and operating systems, very good English skills in speech and writing, very good critical thinking skills, and strong knowledge of C++, Python, Linux, and a scripting language. The post also seeks highly motivated candidates with a willingness to experiment and explore, international publications in journals or top conferences, and preferably a doctorate obtained within the last three years. Preferred qualifications also include teaching ability, awareness of diversity and equal opportunity issues with a focus on gender equality, the ability to collaborate and work independently, and experience with machine learning, GPU programming, or large-scale inference systems.
How to apply
