The Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) is Germany's university center of excellence for digital engineering (www.hpi.de). The joint digital engineering faculty of the University of Potsdam and HPI offers an engineering computer science program that is unique in Germany and particularly practice-oriented. HPI conducts world-renowned university research. The focus of HPI teaching and research is on the fundamentals and applications of large, highly complex and networked IT systems.

The Hasso Plattner Institute, academically constituted as the Digital Engineering Faculty of the University of Potsdam, in the course of its strong growth, is looking for the next possible date at the Potsdam location for a

 Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/x)

The position is limited and Full-Time.

The Data Intensive Internet Computing (DIIC) department at the Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) is currently seeking applications for a postdoctoral researcher position. This is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated and talented individual to contribute to cutting-edge research in a collaborative and inspiring environment.

HPI, an internationally renowned research institution in Computer Science and IT Systems Engineering, offers an excellent work environment, including a newly founded AI lab for software engineering, research projects with leading business partners, strong academic coaching, and appropriate salaries. The institute is located near Berlin, which offers a variety of educational opportunities, recreation, tourism, and culture.

Within the DIIC department, we apply data-intensive methods, and build real-world systems and models to improve Internet computing and operations. Our research group investigates digital infrastructure, next-generation network protocols and architectures, emerging cyber-physical systems, and aspects of digital sovereignty in the age of increasing consolidation of the Internet.

We regularly publish in top conferences such as – ACM SIGCOMM, ACM IMC, ACM MOBICOM and IEEE INFOCOM. We also publish in top journals such as – ACM SIGCOMM CCR and IEEE/ACM TON. These venues are known to be highly selective and for publishing landmark papers in networking. Our data-intensive research has direct implications on the design and operation of Internet technology and this brings us in active engagement with the standards (IETF) and operations communities (RIPE) to apply our research into the real world.
