PhD Scholarship in the area of Low Cost Wireless Sensor Networks, Ireland

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the areaof wireless sensor networks with the focus on covering a wide area at very low cost. This area of research, led by Dr. Ronan Farrell, will be undertaken in close collaboration with the national StratAG (www.stratag.ie) research consortium on advanced geotechnologies.

Wireless sensor networks have been used widely for a number of years but have yet to achieve their vision of being truly disposable or cost effective. For example, the cost of deploying a network in a forest to track wildlife is prohibitive is any large scale fashion. This project will explore opportunities to address the cost issue by examining the constraints in which we design our systems and what additional geospatial information can be used to maximise the performance/cost ratio. This work will most be simulation based but there will be an opportunity to construct an experimental system.

Interested candidates should hold a first or upper second class honours degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science or a cognate discipline. Applicants who hold research masters in a relevant area are particularly welcomed. This work is inherently multidisciplinary and the successful applicant will need to collaborate with computer scientists, engineers and geographers. Excellence in communications and wireless technologies would be highly valuedas would an open attitude to collaboration outside of one’s comfort zone.

Successful candidates will join a large multi-disciplinary team and be initially enrolled on a full-time Masters of Engineering Science, with a review after 18 months for progression to a PhD programme. The studentship will comprise of fees and an annual stipend of 16,000 Euros (index linked). The position is available immediately though, upon agreement, the start date may be postponed to January 2009.

Applicants should supply by email a detailed CV including a detailed discussion of their latest work, two references and a complete list of publications. Please include WSN in the subject of your email. Applicants from outside of the EU are welcome to apply for all positions, however please state clearly your visa requirements in your initial emails. Non-EU candidates may have to pay additional fees. Please list your citizenship in your email subject.
