 * **Positions available in Wireless Sensor Networks Research*
  




We are glad to announce two positions in the area of Wireless Sensor
Network research available under  SNEPMURe project. SNEPMURe (Sensor
Networks for an Enhanced and Personalized Management and Use of Resources).
SNEPMURe is a research project funded by The Research Council of Oman
(reference: ORG DU ICT 10 003). It aims at elaborating mechanisms,
protocols, and algorithms allowing static and mobile sensors to collaborate
to enhance and personalize the management and use of the available
resources. The targeted contributions of SNEPMURe include:



         Personalization of WSN services with respect to the user
requirements,

         Personalize the WSN processing for better interactions between
sensors, and

         Build a prototype that complies with the objectives of SNEPMURe.



*Position 1  Research Assistant*



*Responsibilities:  *The successful candidate will be responsible for:

         Conducting research on various issues related to sensor networks.

         Working on the design and implementation of a useful sensor
network application.

         Implementing a prototype of the required WSN application in
accordance with SNEPMURe requirements.

         Supervising and training junior members of the team.

*Requirements:* A successful candidate is expected to have:

         A Masters degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a
related field.

         Research expertise in one or more of the following areas: sensor
networks, wireless and mobile ad hoc networks, distributed systems,
simulation, performance evaluation.

         Hands-on experience in WSN development and simulation
technologies, e.g., TinyOS, real-time OS, ns2, and Qualnet

         Strong programming skills in C/C++. .NET and Java.

         Strong verbal and written communication skills.



Apart from the technical skills, it is essential that the candidate has a
strong motivation, can works with autonomy, is an effective teamwork, and
open to collaboration with others.

*Responsibilities:  *The successful candidate will be responsible for:

         Working on the design and implementation of simulation for
envisioned sensor network application scenarios.

         Deployment of wireless sensor network testbed.

         Implementing prototypes of the required WSN applications in
accordance with SNEPMURe requirements.



*Requirements:* A successful candidate is expected to have:

         A Bachelors degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or
a related field.

         In depth knowledge of one or more of the following areas: sensor
networks, wireless and mobile ad hoc networks, simulation, and performance
evaluation.

         Hands-on experience in WSN development and simulation
technologies, e.g., TinyOS, real-time OS, ns2, and Qualnet

         Strong programming skills in C/C++. .NET and Java.

         Strong verbal and written communication skills.



Apart from the technical skills, it is essential that the candidate has a
strong motivation, can works with autonomy, is an effective teamwork, and
open to collaboration with others.



Both the positions are available immediately. Remuneration will
commensurate with the candidates qualifications and experience.

The research will be conducted at Dhofar University (www.du.edu.om), which
is a young university located in Salalah, Oman (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salalah). We will continue accepting
applications until the positions are filled.



*How to Apply*



To apply send an email, clearly mentioning in the subject line which
position you are applying for, a cover letter, detailed CV, and contacts of
at least 2 references to Dr. Shafique Ahmad Chaudhry at *shafi... at du.edu.om.
