The Centrum Wiskunde and Informatica (CWI) has three full time vacancies for talented PhD students and Postdocs in the Database Architectures group. The positions are in the broad area of big data analytics to enable robust and scalable big data analytics. Research topics are in novel query processing, (adaptive) indexing and optimization techniques, and bridging the gap between application programming and big data storage.

One of these vacancies is in the context of a collaboration project with Actian Vectorwise, while the other two are related to the Dutch national research program COMMIT.

The Database Architectures group at CWI is one of the world-wide leading groups in system-oriented database research; among other honors, it received the 10-year best paper award at VLDB 2009 for their pioneering research on hardware-aware database technology and the column-store model, both the 2011 ACM SIGMOD Jim Gray Dissertation award and 2011 ERCIM Cor Baayen award for the database cracking work, as well as the VLDB 2011 Challenges & Visions Track best paper award for their visionary work on innovative database architectures to support big data analytics and data-intensive scientific discovery.
