PhD Sholarships in Sparse Signal Processing in Wireless Communications, Aalborg University, Denmark
The PhD stipends are available within the general study programme “Wireless Communications”.
Two sections at the Department of Electronic Systems, Aalborg University, Denmark have received a grant from the Danish Strategic Research Council to make a project in the area of sparse signal processing in wireless communications (SparSig).
The overall objectives of the project are:
- To develop a theoretical and simulation framework for handling sparse signals in communication systems.
- To develop techniques for sub-sampling, signal processing and signal regeneration of realistic RF communication signals, which are polluted with noise, non-linear distortion, and interfering signals.
- To develop techniques for sparse signal transformation, signal processing, and signal regeneration of realistic audio and video signals, which cover an important class of signals in communication.
- To experimentally prove the theoretical findings by implementing a prototype with the key electronics to show measured results.
To support this project we open several positions:
- PhD position (562/06-8-29219A): Sparse signal representation, signal transformation, and signal processing with focus on RF communication signals. The applicant must have a masters degree in communication technology, math or similar and a solid experience in signal processing, modeling, simulation techniques etc.
- PhD position (562/06-8-29219B): Sparse signal transformation and processing, and signal regeneration with focus on true audio and video signals. The applicant must have a masters degree in communication technology, math or similar and a solid experience in signal processing, modeling, simulation techniques etc.
- PhD position (562/06-8-29219C): Experimental verification of RF receivers based on sparse sampling and processing techniques as well as investigation of the performance degradation due to imperfect implementation components when using real life RF signals with interference and noise. The applicant must have a solid experience in RF circuits, RF measurement techniques, circuit design etc. Experience in IC design using Cadence is an advantage. To become PhD student in this area a masters degree is needed.

Prince of Wales Innovation Scholarships (POWIS), The University of Wales, UK
OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUTSTANDING GRADUATES
20 PhD Scholarships – £20,000 stipend
The University of Wales is inviting expressions of interest from outstanding graduates for its first cohort of Prince of Wales Innovation Scholarships (POWIS).
POWIS is a new £11 million initiative that is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund provided through the Welsh Assembly Government. In 2009, POWIS will fund a minimum of 20 scholarships to undertake PhD research on a full-time basis over a three year period.
The successful candidates will undertake research projects developed by high growth, innovative companies in Wales and supervised by academics from partners within Welsh universities. This is therefore an opportunity for students with an excellent academic background to gain experience of developing R&D within high growth technology-based firms, whilst improving their entrepreneurship and innovation skills.
Expressions of interest are sought from graduates with a background in one or more of following areas:
- Advanced engineering and manufacturing: materials and mechanical engineering; aerospace and aeronautics
- Digital economy: secure mobile and wireless communications, electrical and electronic engineering, computer science and programming, creative industries including animation and gaming media production
- Health and bio-sciences: medical, biochemistry, molecular biology, medical physics, medical engineering, informatics and imaging
- Innovation: innovation management, product design, technological and international marketing
- Information systems and business management: change management, data management, networking, advanced financial and economic systems
- Sustainable technologies: sustainable building technologies, efficient energy usage, generation and distribution, low carbon transport, climate change adaptation.

2010 Scholarships for Graduate Students, Smart Structures Lab, Chonbuk National University, South Korea
We are building a research team of graduate students or post-doctorate for our laboratory. Our projects are related to the application of laser ultrasound technologies and fiber-optics sensors technologies to the non-destructive test and evaluation (NDT&E), and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of important engineering structures, such as wind turbine, space launch vehicle, nuclear power plant, and aircraft. All the projects are application based with supports from the industries or government and have great potential to be commercialized. If you are highly motivated, we want to invite you to join our research team.
Basic Requirements:
- Aerospace / Aeronautics / Mechanical / E&E / Mechatronics engineering background.
- Good English language proficiency.
Financial Supports:
- Starting pay KRW600,000 for master; KRW900,000 for PhD; KRW1,500,000 ~ 2,000,000 for post-doc.
- Annual increment KRW50,000 ~ 100,000.
- Incentive bonus for publication.
- Grade scholarship available.

PhD / MEng.Sc Scholarship in the area of Geospatial Applications of Wireless Sensors, Ireland
Applications are invited for a Masters/PhD studentship inthe area of wireless sensor networks for collection of real time data for use in geospatial applications. 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. The focus of this consortium is the application of geotechnology to more real time data and environments. The objective of this project is to provide the sensing and communications technologies to deliver this real time information.
Wireless sensor networks have been used widely for a number of years but there uses have been constrained to being either short range or low data rates. In this application it is necessary to look at applications where we may be dealing with wide areas (for example the coastline of the island of Ireland,or covering an entire city) and where we may have high bandwidth requirements(streaming video or high resolution still images). The objective is to explore architectures that will utilise existing GSM/UMTS mobile phone networks in such a manner as to facilitate efficient wide area communications. This will involve the exploration of communication networks and architectures,distributed processing and load optimisation.
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. Thiswork 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 valued as would an open attitude to collaboration outside of one’s comfort zone.

PhD Studentship in Computer Vision based Advanced Geotechnologies, Ireland
The Computer Vision and Imaging Laboratory, at the Department of Computer Science, NUI
Maynooth is currently inviting applications for a PhD Studentship in Computer Vision based Advanced Geotechnologies. The successful candidate will be required to develop state-of-the-art computer vision techniques for improved image understanding,image querying and matching, and camera pose estimation. This work will becarried out as part of a larger project to develop a Smart Campus Environment incorporating state-of-the-art geotechnologies. In particular, it is intended that the outputs of the student’s research will provide the foundations for solutions within this environment for image-based userlocalization, intelligent user navigation, augmented reality, and distributed smart camera networks.
This position is part of a ScienceFoundation Ireland (SFI) funded Strategic Research Cluster in Advanced Geotechnologies (StratAG – www.stratag.ie) that involves a consortium of departments from NUI Maynooth, Trinity College Dublin (TCD), the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) and University College Dublin (UCD). StratAG is a collaborative research programme aimed at developing new tools and technologies for the capture, analysis, and visualisation of geospatial information and the delivery of location based services using these technologies.
