The Microsoft Jim Gray Systems Lab (GSL) in Madison, Wisconsin has several 
positions open at the Ph.D. or M.S. levels for exceptionally well-qualified individuals 
with significant experience in the design and implementation of database 
management systems. Organizationally, GSL is part of the Microsoft SQL Server 
Division.  Located on the edge of the UW-Madison campus, the GSL staff 
collaborates closely with the faculty and graduate students of the database group 
at the University of Wisconsin.    We currently have several on-going projects in the 
areas of parallel database systems, advanced storage technologies for database 
systems, energy-aware database systems, and the design and implementation of 
database systems for multicore CPUs. 

If your passion is building systems that push the state of the art and you have 
experience doing so, please apply by sending a copy of your resume to Jenna 
Volpone (jennav@microsoft.com).  

If your long-term goal is to obtain a faculty position and would like to be 
considered for a 1-2 year post-doc position, that is an option that we are willing to 
also consider when evaluating applications.

If you have questions about the positions or the lab please send mail to 
dewitt@microsoft.com   Questions can also be directed to Jeff Naughton
