[Tccc] Job: congestion control and wiressless LANs (game theorists wanted)

Dear all,

This is a reminder about the 1 -- 3 year opening at the Centre for
Advanced Internet Architectures at Swinburne University of Technology
in Melbourne, Australia. <http://caia.swin.edu.au/positions.html>
We are particularly looking for candidates with experience in game theory.

Applications close: 12 February, 2010.

Salary: AUD$48,946 - AUD$82,683 (depending on experience) plus 17%
superannuation

Duration: Full-Time, Fixed-Term for 12 months, possible extension of
24 months subject to good progress - Hawthorn Campus

Description:
This is a fixed-term position to support two ARC-funded projects,
entitled "Congestion Control for an Efficient Internet" and "Mechanism
Design for Next Generation Random Access Wireless Protocols".

The first project will develop and analyse new techniques to
respond to congestion in the internet. In addition to the traditional
aim of balancing the rates of user flows given fixed network capacity,
this research will investigate ways in which network-induced energy
consumption can be minimized, by exploiting periods of low congestion.
This research will fit into both the New TCP project and the GREEN
project <http://caia.swin.edu.au/green>.

The second project will apply game theory to explore resource
allocation for wireless networks, to provide differentiated service
but avoid the common problem of given data users an incentive
to claim to be real-time users. This will involve game theoretic
analysis, protocol modelling and protocol design. This research
will fit into the MAGIC project <http://caia.swin.edu/magic>.

A PhD is highly desirable, but excellent candidates without PhDs are
also encouraged to apply.

Please see the online Position Description
<http://caia.swin.edu.au/pd/PD28039-7jan10.pdf> for the full range of
selection criteria and position responsibilities.

Applications: Applications must be made online through Swinburne's
Jobs Portal <http://www.swin.edu.au/jobs>. Select "Academic" positions
and search for "Research Fellow" position 28039.
Closing Date: Applications must be made by 12 February, 2010

The Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures is part of the Faculty
of ICT: <http://www.swinburne.edu.au/ict/>
