IBM Rational Purify team is looking for a senior system software
engineer to
work in Bangalore, India.




Job Description:


IBM Rational PurifyPlus is
market leading runtime program analysis
tool to detect memory corruption
errors, memory leaks, performance
bottlenecks and code coverage. PurifyPlus
Bangalore team has complete
ownership of design, development and future
direction for PurifyPlus
product for AIX and HP-UX.


The candidate will be
responsible for complex system software
development, feature design and
development, defect debugging and
analysis. He/she should be able to work
independently with little
or no direction, able to schedule own time and work
to a project
timeline, mentor less senior engineers in the team. It may be
required to contribute to a cross team engineering effort.
He/she should
regularly demonstrate independent thinking and
judgment as it relates to
technical issues, and possesses
significant domain expertise.

Organization: Edinburgh University


Studentships for PhD study in
the School of Informatics at
the University of Edinburgh
- --------------------------


FIFTY research studentships are available for:


          * UK students
          * EU students
          * students worldwide


Many of these are full studentships, paying your tuition fees and a
stipend of 12600 pounds to cover living expenses in your first year,
rising in second and third years. The rest pay your fees and/or a
contribution towards living expenses. Payment of fees for non-EU
students is subject to successful competition for an Overseas Research
Student award. PhD students are encouraged to make contributions to
teaching, for example by leading tutorial groups, and for this you can
expect to earn an additional 500-1000 pounds per year.


Informatics
- ----------
Informatics is the study of information and computation, in both
natural and engineered systems. It comprises a vast range of
scientific and engineering endeavour and has enormous economic and
social impact.


Edinburgh University's School of Informatics brings together the
former Departments of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science and
Computer Science, together with the Artificial Intelligence
Applications Institute. The School possesses a combination of breadth
and strength unparallelled elsewhere in the UK and competitive
world-wide; as an intellectual endeavour it is strikingly original.


The School is the only university grouping in the UK to have achieved
the top 5*A rating in Computer Science in the UK government's 2001
Research Assessment Exercise round, and it is the UK's biggest
research group in this area. We currently have around 250 students
studying for PhD, and around 130 for MSc.


PhD study
- --------
PhD study is carried out within one of our six research Institutes:


        ANC: Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation
        CISA: Centre for Intelligent Systems and their Applications
        ICCS: Institute for Communicating and Collaborative Systems
        ICSA: Institute for Computing Systems Architecture
        IPAB: Institute of Perception, Action and Behaviour
        LFCS: Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science


ANC fosters the study of adaptive processes in both artificial and
biological systems; two themes are the study of artificial learning
systems and the analysis and modelling of brain processes. CISA
undertakes basic and applied research and development in knowledge
representation and reasoning. Through its applications institute
AIAI, it works with others to deploy the technologies associated with
this research. ICCS pursues basic research into the nature of
communication among humans and between humans and machines, using
text, speech and graphics, and the design of interactive dialogue
systems, using computational and algorithmic approaches.


ICSA seeks development of a better understanding of systems
components, both hardware and software, and their integration and
interaction; this involves not only improving their raw performance
and cost-effectiveness, but also making them more connectable and
interoperable, more reliable, more usable and more applicable. The
interests of IPAB are how to link computational perception,
representation, transformation and generation processes to external
worlds---whether real or virtual. The mission of LFCS is to achieve a
foundational understanding of problems and issues arising in
computation and communication through the development of appropriate
and applicable formal models and mathematical theories.
