> Could you please broadcast this offer? Thanks a lot - Pascale
>>>>   Post Doctoral Researcher in High Speed Protocols and Grid  
>>>> networking at Lyon(France)

>>>>
>>>> The INRIA/LIP laboratory  and CCIN2p3 are seeking qualified  
>>>> candidates for a post doctoral position in High Speed Protocols  
>>>> and Grid networking.
>>>>
>>>> The High Speed and Grid networking RESO INRIA research team at  
>>>> the LIP laboratory is currently focusing on the design and  
>>>> analysis of protocols, algorithms and software for efficient  
>>>> communications in high speed networks of Grids.
>>>> The present proposition concerns a project  funded by the french  
>>>> national Reasearch Agency (ANR) focusing on Very High throughput  
>>>> in Long Distance Bulk Data Transfer in High Energy Physics Grid   
>>>> (LCG project) context
>>>>
>>>> The research is performed in close collaboration with the  
>>>> computing center of the IN2P3 (Lyon), FERMILAB and RENATER.  
>>>> IN2P3 is the  Institut National de Physique Nucleaire et de  
>>>> Physique des Particules. RENATER is the national network  
>>>> infrastructure for Research and education.
>>>>
>>>> The candidate should have earned a PhD in an area relevant for  
>>>> this research, and have documented experience in  protocol  
>>>> implementation,  evaluation and experimentation and system  
>>>> software development  using state-of-the-art tools and techniques.
>>>> The appointment is for a period of one year, with possibility  
>>>> for renewal.
>>>>
>>>> The application should include a Curriculum vitae, copies of  
>>>> degree certificates, relevant publications, and a motivation  
>>>> letter.

>>>> *Abstract* Packet switched and optical transmission networks  
>>>> are  potential candidates for extending today’s IP- based best- 
>>>> effort  service environment.
>>>> GRID applications can be viewed as an  excellent example for  
>>>> emerging usage scenarios future high  performance networking  
>>>> infrastructures have to face with.
>>>> However,  the scientific applications  that really need it, are  
>>>> not able to fully exploit these networking  capacities.
>>>> The main goal of this work is to explore, identify, diagnose and  
>>>> correct  performance boottlenecks in the context of 1Gb/s and  
>>>> 10Gb/s very  long distance networks of the LHC project.
>>>> The PostDoc will concentrate on flows interactions but also  
>>>> network/IO interactions in this context. As the 10Gb/ s  
>>>> technology is rapidly coming to our labs and to grid   
>>>> environments running high end scientific applications, it is   
>>>> necessary to examine carefully this problem.
>>>> Disk to disk  aspects and data transfer scheduling solutions  
>>>> will  be analysed and experimented. New optimisations in  
>>>> conjunction with new high speed transport protocol variants
>>>> will be proposed and evaluated.

>>>> This work will  be done at  the IN2P3 lab, in collaboration with  
>>>> INRIA RESO team,
>>>> RENATER, Fermilab and in the context of the ANR IGTMD project.
>>>> For further information, please contact Pascale.Primet at ens-lyon.fr

>>>> Your complete application (CV, papers, motivation letter,  
>>>> references), zipped and marked with reference IGTMD-postdoc
