Research Fellow: Reliable Communication in Wireless Cooperative (Relay) Networks under Channel Uncertainty
There is an opportunity for an early career researcher to participate in a new research project, focusing on Reliable Communication in Wireless Cooperative (Relay) Networks under Channel Uncertainty, funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC). The project aims to develop theory for understanding the fundamental limits of reliable information transfer in cooperative networks in the presence of channel estimation errors, receiver mismatch to the channel, and noisy/delayed feedback from the receiving nodes to the transmitter. The project also investigates novel information combining strategies (such as network coding) to maintain high throughput in the presence of link failures in the network. |

Research Engineer
The Institute for Telecommunications Research (ITR) is Australia’s largest University-based telecommunications technology research organisation, and is internationally recognised for excellence in the areas of information theory, error control coding, mobile broadband, cellular, wireless and satellite communications. ITR is home to a broad range of research activities, from basic theory and commercially funded applied projects, right through to development of high-quality software and hardware products for industry. The South Australian Networking Laboratory (SANLab) is a partnership between ITR, the Centre for Defence Communications and Information Networks at the University of Adelaide, and industry partners. SANLab will provide experimentation facilities and research expertise for the development of mobile ad hoc networks. Applications are invited for the position of SANLab Research Engineer. The successful candidate will undertake tasks in setting up a software defined radio development platform, establishing baseline implementations for a number of wireless standards, facilitating implementation and investigation of novel transceiver algorithms and architectures for physical and cross-layer optimisation, and participating in field trials. We seek an engineer with hardware platform development and/or system simulation experience. Applications close: Sunday 11 th January 2009 For further detail on any of these opportunities, please contact Associate Professor Linda Davis on: +61 8 8302 5237 or email: linda.davis@unisa.edu.au or visit: www.unisa.edu.au/hrm/careers More info (PDF)... |

Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow: Coding for Fading Channels
Applications are invited for the position of Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow. The successful candidate will conduct fundamental research, contributing to the ARC Discovery Project, Adaptive Broadband Wireless Communications . The project focuses on fundamental limits and optimal transmission strategies for delay-limited block-fading channels. The aim is to optimize reliability/throughput tradeoffs by adopting adaptive transmission strategies. The expected outcomes are a theoretical design framework, and new practical designs for future broadband wireless applications. The project is in collaboration with researchers at the Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden) and University of Cambridge (Cambridge, UK).

Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow: Channel Coding and Network Coding for Cooperative Communications
Applications are invited for the position of Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow. The successful candidate will conduct fundamental research, contributing to the ARC Discovery Project, Efficient Transmission Strategies for Cooperative Wireless Ad Hoc Networks . The project focuses on the innovative use of channel and network coding techniques to increase reliability, throughput, and coverage of cooperative wireless ad hoc networks. The main task is to devise new transmission strategies for application within a cooperative wireless network of arbitrary size and topology with an emphasis on efficiency, simplicity, and scalability to allow for practical implementation. The project is in collaboration with researchers at the Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden) and University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (Erlangen, Germany).

Student Linkage
In an effort to encourage PhD students to network within Australia, ACoRN has compiled, and will continue to update, a list of "potential host" supervisors for students to visit. The idea is that students will log on to the ACoRN Website, and express their interest in visiting a supervisor within their area of interest.
