NVIDIA is searching for a PhD candidate to join our growing software architecture team in the context of the project FLECON-6G funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe research program. The ideal candidate will be conducting innovative research at the intersection of Networking, Security, and Communications, and working alongside top authorities in these fields. With incredible resources at your disposal, you will be able to impact, contribute and advance these exiting domains. Topics include but are not limited to remote direct memory access, hardware offloading and acceleration, AI for networking and security, storage management, cryptography, and architecture. With its unique open culture, NVIDIA is one of the best industry labs to do Accelerated Computing research.

‍

DPU Data-Processing Units are the smallest form of a data center, and provide the foundation to implement accelerated computing, where both processing and networking experience a performance boost through the utilization of dedicated processors. DPUs started out as the engine for accelerated networking, but now they can run AI inference and training on-board, deep packet inspection and cryptography accelerations among others thanks to onboard GPUs and acceleration engines. Join us to research next-generation accelerated data-center architectures in a unique PhD program with NVIDIA partnership. The program is 36 months long and it includes enrollment in a PhD program at one of our partner Universities.
