FAPESP Post-Doctoral Fellowship Call
FAPESP Post-Doctoral Fellowship Call for applications in SMART: Sustainable Management of Agriculture with the Intelligent Computing Continuum
The FAPESP project SMART: Sustainable Management of Agriculture with the Intelligent Computing Continuum has an open Post-Doctoral position to work at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC).
The research theme is Smart Application Deployment for the IoT Computing Continuum, dealing with the challenges of deploying smart agriculture applications over the IoT Computing Continuum (IoTinuum).
- Smart Application Deployment for the IoT Computing Continuum
- Orchestration of resources allocated to the services to provide the intended levels
- Deployment of smart applications for the IoTinuum
The SMART project aims to develop and deploy a trustworthy platform for smart agriculture across the IoTinuum, from field sensors to the cloud.
The deployment of smart applications for the IoTinuum requires the efficient orchestration of resources allocated to the services to provide the intended levels.
Orchestration involves fulfilling the application needs by carefully matching services, resources, and workloads, including microservice placement, deployment, and migration.
Current deployment strategies cannot handle varying configurations for IoT efficient and scalable application deployment within the continuum.
The general objective of this postdoc fellowship is to design and implement an application deployment methodology for the IoTinuum that takes as input a model (such as a directed acyclic graph) representing the application and generates a deployment strategy as output.
The candidate must hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related areas (less than 7 years since graduation).
The fellowship’s duration is 30 months, and the monthly stipend is R$12.000,00 plus 10% for research expenses.
The term for this scholarship is expected to start as soon as possible, ideally in April 2025.
Candidates should fill out the online form at: https://forms.gle/AxC47yMXqFi9fP9K8
Deadline: March, 14, 2025
Inquiries can be sent to carlos.kamienski at ufabc.edu.br
