The successful candidate will develop its research in the Department of Computer Engineering and Maths (DEIM) and within the CloudLab research group. The research group focuses its research in computer systems with particular emphasis on cloud computing. Accordingly, the group develops different, cutting-edge lines of research that explores the many facets of cloud computing from developing comprehensive cloud solutions and testbeds combining various execution platforms to novel programming models to simplify the transition to the cloud for data scientists, AI practitioners, application developers, etc.

URV as Hosting Institution located at Scientific Campus of Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Spain), has all the technical and scientific facilities for carry out this project.

Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) is well positioned both nationally and internationally due to the Excellence of its research and the commitment and internationally recognised staff.
