News: Opening for a postdoctoral position in wireless networking

The School of Electrical Engineering at KTH and the Networked Embedded Systems Group at SICS have recently started the research project“Promos: wireless sensor network programming made easy”. The project aims at developing novel solutions for reducing the complexity of programming, operating, and optimizing wireless sensor networks, and builds on a combined expertise in embedded systems programming (the Contiki operating system, uIP, etc.), wireless networking and resource optimization, and industrial sensor networking applications.

We are now looking for talented researchers to join our efforts, and invite applicants for a postdoctoral position at KTH. The position includes research in the area of wireless sensor networking, interaction with doctoral students and researchers, and involvement in collaborative work in industrial and international projects. Participation in teaching and grant application activities will also be possible.

Candidates should have strong research and publication record and a PhD degree (or be near completion) in a relevant field, such as wireless communications, sensor networking, embedded systems programming, real-time systems, or networked control. The position can be made available immediately and lasts for up to three years.

The application marked "Promos Postdoc" with curriculum vitae (including publications list and two professional references) and a research statement should be submitted as a single PDF file by email to mikaelj@ee.kth.se. The application deadline is the 30th of September 2009.

For further information about the position, please contact Mikael Johansson

Together with the communication networks and communication theory groups at KTH, we have been awarded a new project on "Stochastic network optimization" with Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). The project is funded by STINT and KOSEF, and allows us to build up stronger cooperations with professors Yung Yi, Youngchul Sung and Sue Moon at KAIST.

We are coordinating a special section on the topic of "Control over wireless networks: foundations, networking and applications" in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. The paper deadline is October 31, 2009, and the complete call for papers can be found here. [more events...].
