 Guest Researcher Position in Cognitive Radio Research with Software Defined 
Radios  

  The Emerging and Mobile Network Technologies Group (EMNTG) in the Information
Technology Laboratory (ITL) of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National 
Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), conducts performance analysis of communication
technologies and protocols to expedite the development and deployment of 
standards for
emerging mobile networks.    The Group develops performance metrics and modeling
methodologies using commercially available and in-house customized network 
modeling,
simulation, and testbed tools.  More information on the Group's activities can 
be found at
http://www.nist.gov/itl/antd/emntg/.

  We are seeking bright and enthusiastic candidates  for a one-year guest 
researcher
appointment  to implement cognitive radio protocols for research in dynamic 
spectrum
access. This position involves the  design, development,  and use  of  
cognitive radio
applications on software defined radios.  The incumbent will develop novel  
cognitive
radio  protocols; design, implement, and debug  software defined radio 
applications that
execute these protocols; and evaluate the performance of these protocols  on a 
testbed
using accepted metrics.

  A  programmable wireless communication testbed composed of USRP N210s and an 
RF
channel emulator will serve as the platform for application development and 
testing. The
incumbent will use GNU Radio and/or other toolkits to program the  USRP.  
Candidates
should have experience with digital signal processing and programming in  
Python,  C++,
and MATLAB. Experience with GNU Radio and FPGA programming is desired.
The  incumbent must work well in a team environment and possess  a  strong 
commitment
with the ability to deliver high quality software.    Minimum educational 
qualifications
required for this position are a  Bachelor of Science  in Electrical/Computer 
Engineering,
Computer Science,  or equivalent.  U.S.-based applicants must have U.S. 
citizenship.
Foreign applicants would come to NIST on a J-1 visa.  Email c.v./resume with 
references
to Dr. Michael Souryal, sour... at nist.gov<mailto:sour... at nist.gov>.

thanks and regards
