The Laboratory of Mobile and Pervasive Computing (LAMP) of the Federal
University of Amazonas (UFAM), Brazil, is calling young PhDs to join
us in Postdoc positions. Candidates need do contact us, so that we
will submit projects to a committee that will accept up to 6 people in
our area, according to the quality of candidates. Accepted candidates
will be founded by a grant that can last from 18 months to 36 months.
Also, candidates can, if they desire, apply for becoming professors in
the Institute of Computing at UFAM.

1. Requirements:

Candidates should speak English and also be able to  write scientific
reports (articles). Like to work hard, enjoy the idea of working in
group and be interested in making friends in Brazil. They should have
already published at least one paper in top venues related to SENSOR
NETWORKS (experience with signal processing is welcome). It is desired
that candidates have published more articles. Portuguese is not
mandatory. The candidates will work with professors, master students
and PhD students that do speak English. As the candidates will live in
Brazil for a period, they will probably be interested in learning
Portuguese, but this is not mandatory.

2. Laboratory of Mobile and Pervasive Computing at UFAM:

We have an active research group working in several topics related to
sensor networks, ad hoc networks, VANets and pervasive computing,
currently producing high quality research and frequently publishing
articles into related IEEE and ACM conferences and journals related to
the research field.  The group is currently composed of 4 professors
and it is part of the Graduate Program in Computer Science at UFAM,
that offers a master degree and a PhD course. The professors also work
on three undergraduate programs (Computer Science, Information Systems
and Computer Engineering).  The group has currently 2 PhD students and
10 master degree students.


The DBLP entries of the professors responsible for the group are:

3. Grant:

Accepted candidates will receive R$ 14,000.00 for financial support by
the first month and R$ 7,000.00 per month. An extra payment of R$
7,000.00 will be made each year.  All free of taxes. The total grant
for the first year is then R$ 105,000.00 and the total grant for the
second year is R$ 91,000.00. This is all free of taxes. This amount is
more than the income of an Assistant Professor (PhD), and is enough to
live in Manaus considering the cost of life in the city/region. Grants
will be paid for a period from 18 months to 36 months.


We are interested not only in people that  can start  this year, but
also in people who will finish their PhD in the next year.

Interested candidates should send an e-mail to Eduardo Freire Nakamura
