Betreff: MSc/PhD Positions: Mathematics of Future Wireless Networks, Hamilton Institute, Ireland

Hallo,

anbei eine Stellenanzeige vom Hamilton-Institut/Irland im Bereich "Wireless Networks" für die Mailingliste "Externe Stellenangebote". Ich kenne die Arbeitsgruppe (bin 2006 von der FU Mathe+Inf ans Hamilton-Institut gewechselt) und kann sie sehr empfehlen. Die machen spannende Sachen, insbesondere weil sie Theorie und Experimente am eigenen Testbed geschickt zu verbinden wissen.

Beste Grüße,
Wilhelm Huisinga



MSc/PhD Positions: Mathematics of Future Wireless Networks, Hamilton Institute, Ireland
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basic Description

Applications are invited for a number of postgraduate research positions at the Hamilton Institute in the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.   The Hamilton Institute is a multi-disciplinary research centre that seeks to provide a bridge between mathematics and its applications in ICT and biology.  Successful candidates will join one of the largest, internationally recognized and most active networking research groups in Ireland.  

Wireless networks are not only ubiquitous and of great economic importance to modern society, but also the source of many of the fundamental scientific challenges faced by modern communication networks.  A key feature of modern networks is their scale and complexity and at the Hamilton Institute we are developing new  mathematical methods to gain insight and understanding.   We combine this theoretical analysis with cutting-edge experimental work, and it is this combination that is one of the distinguishing features of the Hamilton Institute and that is allowing us to advance understanding in scientifically challenging areas of practical significance.  

Graduate students at the institute are embedded in a vibrant, stimulating research environment and gain a unique education from leading researchers, positioning them well for their career development.   The institute has a very active international visitor programme and provides the opportunity for international and industry exchange visits.  Our Network Maths initiative is part of our structured PhD programme where leading international researchers provide specialist postgraduate modules to support our research students.
