The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Sensing
and Processing Across Networks (SPAN) Lab at the University of Utah
invites applications for an open postdoctoral fellow position for
research in radio tomography, a research area at the intersection of
statistical signal processing, radio wave propagation, and wireless
networking. The SPAN lab, led by Prof. Neal Patwari, has significant
expertise in radio channel signal processing for location estimation
in wireless networks, including the 2008 ACM MobiCom Best Student
Research Demo Award, a 2009 IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Best Paper
Award, and significant popular press, including articles in MIT
Technology Review, ScienceNOW, Wired, Discover, Der Speigel, and The
Economist. This postdoctoral position would expand the
state-of-the-art in the capability of wireless networks to perform
localization, for both emergency situations, and for everyday
logistics applications.
About the Position:
The postdoctoral fellow position would start as early as September,
2010, and would last from one to three years, based on research
performance. The pay rate is 45,200 USD per year, and includes full
benefits.
The candidate must have a strong publication record including a
history of presenting / publishing in the top conferences and
journals. We are looking for a candidate with:
1) a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science,
2) both theoretical and experimental skills (including building and
deploying sensor networks),
3) a strong background in statistical signal processing, radio wave
propagation, and wireless networking.
About the University of Utah:
The University of Utah is located in Salt Lake City, Utah, which is
unique for the outdoor activities available within a short drive of a
major city. There are seven ski resorts within a 45 minute drive, six
US national parks within the state borders, and many other public
lands, including national forests accessible within minutes of Salt
Lake.
The University of Utah is well known for its research and
entreprenurial success. The U. of Utah was ranked 1st nationally,
tied with MIT, for creating new startup companies from research-based
inventions, by the Association of University Technology Managers. More
than 100 local companies have been founded by engineering graduates
and faculty. In the last fiscal year, the University of Utah received
$451 million in federal research funding, twice what it was six years
ago.
To Apply:
Application materials include (1) CV, (2) Link to homepage where most
significant publications are available, and (3) contact information
for three references. Send materials via email to Prof. Neal Patwari,
npatwari at ece dot utah dot edu, with the subject, Postdoc
Application.
