INTERNET is a 5 year (2010-2015), 5.9m EPSRC funded project. It will develop 
the vision for a future green telecommunications network landscape taking into 
account the overall technological environment driving the evolution and energy 
requirements over the next few years. The project represents a collaboration 
between the Universities of Leeds and Cambridge and a number of industrial 
collaborators including BT, BBC, Cisco, Ericsson, Oclaro, Avago, Broadcom, 
Telecom New Zealand and Solarflare.

STAR is a 3 year (2013-2015) EPSRC project. It adopts adopt the GreenTouch 
energy saving target of a factor of a 100 for Core Switching and Routing. A key 
observation in core networks is that most of the power is consumed in the IP 
layer while optical transmission and optical switching are power efficient in 
comparison. Therefore it will introduce energy efficient optimum physical 
network topologies that encourage optical transmission and optical switching at 
the expense of IP routing whenever possible. It is a collaboration between the 
Universities of Leeds, Cambridge, INRIA and AGH and industrial partners BT and 
Alcatel-Lucent.

Post 1, INTERNET: Post Doctoral Research Fellow: Energy efficient network 
design (up to 31 May 2015)
You will have experience in communication network optimisation techniques. You 
will focus on network architecture design for energy efficient content 
distribution and optimum use of renewable energy sources and will interact with 
researchers working on node architecture design, and link to the industrial 
collaborators and to work on network sustainability. You will develop 
appropriate mathematical models to capture the key characteristics of energy 
consumption in different architectures and develop appropriate optimisation 
models and heuristics and implement the resulting algorithms in appropriate 
hardware platforms in test beds and in simulators.

Post 2, STAR: Post Doctoral Research Fellow: Topology modelling and cross layer 
design (up to 31 Dec 2012)
You will have experience in communication network design and optimisation. You 
will study energy efficient node and network design, link to the design of 
large photonic switch architectures in the project and optimise cross layer 
designs for energy efficiency. You will link with the industrial collaborators 
and project partners and work on topology modelling, network control, and 
monitoring for energy efficiency.
