ETH Zurich Opening - Postdoc in Sensor

Post-doctoral Fellow in Sensor Networks
ETH Zurich

The research group on Computer Engineering at ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology) has an opening for a post-doctoral fellow the
field of sensor networks.

Description

We have a long and successful history in sensor network research and we
are involved in several large-scale interdisciplinary projects in
environmental sensing. Our research combines theoretical investigations
with serious applications. Wireless sensor networks are in operation at
several field sites in high alpine regions (permafrost research and
early warning) as well as cities (air pollution). In terms of basic
research, our focus has been on areas like synchronization, highly
dependable wireless protocols, network tomography, testing, formal
verification methodologies, formal methods, and energy harvesting.

Position

The Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory offers a creative
international environment, a possibility to conduct highly competitive
research on a global scale and to be involved in teaching. The main
responsibility of the position is to conduct successful research in the
field of sensor networks. There are plenty of opportunities to cooperate
with highly recognized national and international partners. In addition,
active participation in research projects and leading a group of highly
motivated Ph.D. students is expected.

Education

The candidate must hold a Ph.D. degree with top performance in a field
that is closely related to sensor networks. He or she should have a
track record in conducting original highly competitive scientific
research and publishing the results in top conferences and scientific
journals. Maturity, self-motivation and the ability to work both
independently and as a team player in local and international research
teams are expected. Interest in interdisciplinary collaboration with
environmental sciences as well as outdoor proficiency is advantageous.
German language skills are not required, English is mandatory.

Application

Deadline for application is the 31st of May 2014. Applications should be
sent by email to thiele@ethz.ch (Lothar Thiele). They must contain a
