The PRISM lab is constantly looking for skilled postgraduates and postdocs in the area of ambient intelligence, distributed sensor networks and intelligent agents.
The PRISM lab has two immediate openings for research engineer positions within a new project on large scale monitoring with wireless sensor networks. This project will investigate efficient communication mechanisms for integrating WSN and mesh network techology, in order to extend the monitoring range of sensor networks in an affordable manner. More information on this project can is available at:
Both positions are for a duration of 6 months to one year.
The first Research Engineer position requires experience and knowledge on wireless sensor networks. The Research Engineer will have a Masters degree or equivalent in Communications, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering. The Research Engineer will participate in the design and development of routing and MAC layer mechanisms for topology, address, and fidelity management. This position requires working knowledge of tinyos and NesC. All experience with embedded system programming is a plus. An understanding of wireless sensor network MAC and routing layers is required.
The second Research engineer position requires experience and knowledge on wireless mesh networks. The Research Engineer will have a Masters degree or equivalent in Communications, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering. The Research Engineer will participate in the design and development of addressing and beaconing mechanisms for mesh networks that will allow seamless integration with wireless sensor networks. This position requires working knowledge with C, Java, and low level programming of hardware. A general understanding of wireless mesh network MAC and routing protocols is required.
Both positions offer a competitive salary rate based on experience of the successful candidates.
To apply, please send CV to: rjurdak@ieee.org
The PRISM group has open positions for paid Intern Engineers/Programmers to work on several projects, including:
Large Scale Sensor Network Management
Underwater Sensor Networks for Environmental Monitoring
Body Area Sensor Networks for Medical Applications
Atomic Topology Management of Wireless Sensor Networks
Requirements for suitable candidates for these positions include: (1) Enrollment in an honours/bachelors degree program in the fields of computer science or a related field; (2) Solid programming skills in C, C++, Java; (3) Understanding of electronic hardware components and concepts; and (4) Understanding and interest in networking. Candidates will be placed in projects that are appropriate to their skill sets. Salary levels will be commensurate with experience and background.
Exceptional candidates interested in these positions should contact: rjurdak[at]ieee[dot]org
For postgraduates, mandatory requirements are an honour degree in computer science or electronic/telecommunication engineering and a good knowledge of oral and written English. A suitable candidate should have a broad knowledge of C++ or Java programming, a good familiarity with sensor networks architectures (e.g. TinyOS) and related open issues. A master degree or equivalent is desirable. A successful candidate will be part of a team so collaborative work abilities are advantageous.
We are currently urgently seeking postgraduates to work on the following projects:
Underwater Sensor Networks for Environmental Monitoring
Body Area Sensor Networks for Medical Applications
Atomic Topology Management of Wireless Sensor Networks
