Description
The Electrical & Controls Integration Lab (ECI) at the General Motors Global Research & Development invites application for a full-time postdoctoral research position in the areas of Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) and Mobile Internet architecture starting 2010.
 
Differing from cellular networks or mesh networks, vehicular networks have unique application needs and concerns pertaining to limited bandwidth, high spatiotemporal variations in connectivity, scalability and flexibility. While much of the attention initially has been paid to safety applications in the past few years, there is considerable potential for the development of non-safety information-rich V2V applications. There is a need to develop a networking architecture, along with component protocols, that can support a wide range of telematics and infotainment applications in Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs).
 
Research topics will address: (a) a content-centric mobile networking architecture for information sharing applications, which focus on content rather than connectivity of networks; (b) the heterogeneous inter-networking scheme that use of different types of wireless access technology (WiFi, DSRC, WiMax or LTE); and (c) the development of content sharing applications using voice, video and data in cooperative vehicular ad hoc networks .
 
The selected candidate is expected to develop, implement, evaluate and analyze VANET protocols or application services. The position will offer an opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers on wireless networks from GM and from multiple GM external research partners. Publications and demonstrations in academic/industry conferences will be strongly encouraged.
Desired Knowledge
The candidate should have adequate research experience demonstrated through publications and/or implementations of working prototypes and should also have, in particular:
1. background in Mobile Ad hoc Networks, wireless mesh networks or delay tolerant networks, particularly on data management, routing, and layer-3 above networking issues; knowledge of overlay network in mobile systems is desired
2. experience in simulation platforms (QualNet or ns2)
3. skills using C++, Socket programming and Linux kernel (a plus if also experienced in vehicular networks)
4. teamwork skills, necessary for coordinating the work among several researchers and engineers in the project.
The position is available immediately (starting date is flexible).
 
Qualification 
Eligible applicants register to begin the application process.  Applicants must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals or U.S. permanent residents, and must have received a Ph.D. degree in an engineering field in the 3 years prior to the application date.  Related fields such as Computer Science or Applied Science are not eligible for program support; degree title must include the word "engineering".   Applicants must not have received a prior postdoctoral fellowship in a corporate laboratory for a term of more than six months.
