The DIAS lab at EPFL is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to advance database systems research at the intersection of data management and computer architecture. The project addresses the growing challenge of making data analysis keep pace with the rapid expansion of data collection, with a focus on efficient communication between database software, application layers, and underlying hardware platforms. Research in the lab spans hardware-aware data manipulation techniques, automated physical database design, and exploration algorithms for very large repositories of scientific data. The lab also works on just-in-time query engines for analytics on raw data, data cleaning, query optimization for heterogeneous distributed data, and hardware/software co-designed engines for demanding applications. The successful candidate will join a collaborative research team in the DIAS lab and work closely with lab members on high-quality research. The role also offers opportunities to supervise students, collaborate with other postdocs, and contribute to teaching for those interested in an academic career. The position is associated with Prof. Anastasia Ailamaki and is based at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.
