Researcher (m/f/x) on Autonomous Cloud-Edge Continuum Orchestration
The Institute of Networked Energy-Efficient Systems is dedicated to advancing autonomous, energy-efficient cloud-based networks that support cutting-edge services and innovations. We are assembling a talented international team committed to pioneering research and teaching in this dynamic field.
We are seeking a highly motivated researcher (m/f/x) to work on next-generation autonomous orchestration mechanisms across the cloud-edge-device continuum. The position addresses fundamental research challenges in the management of distributed compute, storage, and networking resources under mobility, uncertainty, and competing multi-objective constraints. The successful candidate will develop AI-native orchestration frameworks that move decisively beyond static placement strategies and rule-based lifecycle management, enabling self-optimizing and self-evolving systems capable of continuous adaptation across heterogeneous cloud and edge environments.The researcher (m/f/x) will join the Institute of Networked Energy-Efficient Systems at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Ruhr University Bochum.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany's leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is Ruhr-Universität Bochum's declared aim.
