ref:
GREENET/IT_1
GREENET/IT_2
DESCRIPTION
Two Early Stage Researcher (ESR) positions are available at the 4TELL Team of the Aveiro Pole of the Instituto de Telecomunicações, Portugal. These Positions are funded by the European Commission under the Marie Curie Initial Training Network Programme (project GREENET). We address (pre-PhD) researchers with an MSc aiming at significantly improving their career perspectives from both the PUBLIC and PRIVATE sector.
The duration of the appointment is 3 years with a possibility of extension funded from other sources. Applicants may also request to be considered as candidates for PhD programs.
Research Topic:
IT_1 Profile
ESR candidates are expected to have good knowledge in the following areas:
-Modelling/simulation tools: such as NS-2, NS-3, OMNET, Matlab, Mathematica;
-Trafic modelling: Markov Chains, Game Theory, Queuing Theory, Information Theory, and Probability Theory.
Not mandatory, but preference will be given to ESR candidates with:
- Strong mathematical background;
- Knowledge in network coding paradigm;
- Knowledge/experience in the design of short-range cooperative MAC protocols for wireless networks (including relay selection algorithms and relaying strategies e.g., amplify and forward, decode and forward, and compress and forward).
IT_2 Profile
ESR candidates are expected to have good knowledge in the following areas:
-Network security: Authentication protocols and methods, cryptography
algorithms, key management solutions
Not mandatory, but preference will be given to ESR candidates with:
- Good mathematical background;
- Knowledge/experience in 802.21 protocol;
- Knowledge/experience with green (power efficient) technologies;
ESR candidates (IT1 and IT2) must also be capable of:
- Co-supervision Master students;
- Conduct top-notch research and to pursue research excellence at the
national, European, and international levels;
- Perform cooperative research in collaboration with other researchers from industry and academia in a well established Network.Junior or experienced researchers from both the PUBLIC and PRIVATE sector, with an MSc in the areas of Computer Science, Mathematics in Computer Science, Electronics & Electrical Engineering or related areas, are highly encouraged to apply for these positions.
The recruited ESR will work in close collaboration with the other academic partners of the project:
- Universidad Polytecnica de Catalunya (Spain)
- he University of Edinburg (United Kingdom)
- University of Trento (Italy)
- NCSR Demokritos (Greece)
- Telecommunications Technological Centre of Catalonia (Spain)
and with the possibility of collaboration with researchers from the industry:
- WEST Aquila (Italy)
- Acticom (Germany)
- EADS (France)
- Innoroute (Germany)
ELIGIBILITY
- The recruited researchers should be, at the time of selection, in the first four years of their research careers (measured from the date when they obtained the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate).
- Also: ESR should not already have a PhD and they should have the qualifications to embark on a PhD program.
- ESR should be nationals of a country other than Portugal or, in case they are Portuguese nationals, they should have legally resided and have had their principal activities (work, studies, etc.) in a third country for at least 3 out of the last 4 years,.
- ESR (regardless of their nationalities) must not have resided or carried out their main activities (work, studies, etc.) in Portugal for more than 12 months in the last 3 years.
FINANCIAL PROVISIONS
Marie Curie ITNs provide competitive financial support to the ESR including:
- a competitive monthly living and mobility allowance,
- a yearly travel allowance (i.e., a fixed amount of money based upon the direct distance between the location of origin of the researcher and Aveiro, Portugal),
- a career exploratory allowance (i.e., a single payment for attending job interviews, additional courses, job fairs, etc.), and
- coverage of the expenses related to the participation of the ESR in research and training activities (contribution to research-related costs, meetings, conference attendance, training actions, etc.).
