PhD Scholarship in UK

£27,183 – £33,432 per annum

Applications are invited for a Research Fellow in the Electronic Systems and Devices Research Group within the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton.

The aim of the project is to develop a scheduling technique with run-time control mechanism that can influence the appropriate allocation of the tester resources during the test sessions execution.  This way it may possible to maximise the use of the available tester resources to reduce test time. It is expected that the developed technique will be validated through simulation and when applied to memory testing. You should have a PhD (or near completion) in Electronics or Computer Engineering. You will also need to have good understanding of memory and System on chip test scheduling. Familiarisation with test languages and EDA tools would be an advantage.

The post is available from February 2010 and for 9-months in the first instance.

Depending on project progress and the possibility of securing additional industrial funding, the project could be extended to another 9 months.

The project will be carried out in collaboration with ARM (Cambridge), and Professor Bashir M. Al-Hashimi, School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton.

The closing date for applications is 15 December 2009 at 12.00 noon.
