[TYPES/announce] Postdoctoral Research Position at UCLA

[Miryung Kim]

The postdoctoral research associate will join a team of researchers
investigating (1) how to remove little used functionality, decrease
run-time bloat, and specialize libraries to what is actually used and (2)
how to address the security and inefficiency of software through a
synergistic software customization technique that combines de-bloating,
clone refactoring and removal, and delayering. Our project will focus on
Java at a late stage, so the program analysis experience with binary Java
bytecode is required. Background and experience with building big data
systems is also important, as we plan to apply the resulting technique to
the big data system domain.

This postdoctoral researcher will be funded from the new ONR project on
"Synergistic Software Customization: Framework, Algorithms, and Tools" and
will collaborate with Professors Jens Palsberg (UCLA) and Harry Xu (UC
Irvine). Applicants with a strong publication record at ICSE, FSE, PLDI,
and OOPSLA are preferred and encouraged to apply. The project has an
emphasis on producing an end-to-end integrated tool that combines different
research techniques.

The postdoc will also be responsible for conducting research, writing
scientific papers, attending project PI meetings, performing tool
demonstrations, presenting the work at conferences, etc. The postdoc will
also assume some responsibility for supervising the research of PhD and
masters students, and will be expected to play a major role in developing
project reports and proposals. The start date is flexible, which can be as
soon as January 2018. Salary and benefits are competitive.
