The networking and mobility group at the Computer Science Department of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) invites applications for a post-doctoral researcher position in delay/disruption-tolerant networking (DTN). NPS is located in beautiful Monterey, California.  The Computer Science department supports an all-graduate M.S. and Ph.D. program with top-notch U.S. and international military students and faculty, with rich research opportunities in both the defense and civilian sectors. The networking and mobility group has a solid track record of research, and publication in top venues, in areas such as network analysis, measurement, and management; tactical radio networks; and mobile systems.

We are seeking a post-doctoral candidate to conduct systems and measurement oriented research on DTNs, towards simplifying the development of such networks and maximizing their flexibility in real-world deployment. Topics include but are not limited to programming platforms, DTN routing protocols, novel applications, measurements, and tools supporting in-field deployment.

The position is tied to a U.S. DoD project, whose goal is to simplify the programming of DTNs, and increase their impact through real-world deployment and application development. The position is for 2 years, with an intermediate evaluation at 12 months. The desired start date is October 2011; however, other start times can be considered.

Detailed Requirements:

* Ph.D. in computer science, or a related field

* Experience with DTNs, SDR, or wireless sensor networks: programming platforms, routing, and communication issues

* Strong systems skills: e.g. hands-on knowledge of mobile device programming and/or experience with measurement studies

* Good teamwork and organizational skills.


The deadline for applications is September 28, 2011.

Applications should contain, in a single PDF document:

* a brief cover letter stating the applicant's research goals;

* a detailed CV including publication list;

* names and contact information for three references.


Applications should be sent via e-mail (subject: "DTN postdoc application") to xie at nps.edu.

For more information, please contact either Prof. Geoffrey Xie or Prof. Robert Beverly ({xie, rbeverly}@nps.edu).
