[Tccc] msc/phd positions, hamilton institute

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.

Candidate Profile

The candidate should hold a good (usually first-class honours) degree
in Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field and
