Uppsala University, Sweden, declares the following positions to be open 
for application:

Up to two (2) post-doc positions in Computer Science or Computer Systems

at the Department of Information Technology, in the ProFuN research 
project.

The project is examining techniques to develop a platform suitable for 
programming future wireless sensor networks and tools for algorithms for 
supporting such a platform and its demonstrator applications.** ProFuN's 
goal is to provide a programming environment where networks of wireless 
sensors can be programmed as an ensemble rather than individually. 
ProFuN adopts a holistic approach to sensor network programming and aims 
to demonstrate that sensor networks can be programmed and employed 
efficiently taking into account the severe constraints that such devices 
typically have (e.g., being devices with very limited power, frequently 
failing sensors, mobility, and harsh security threats). Research 
directions of ProFuN span over programming language support for sensor 
network programming, algorithms for verification and testing of WSNs, 
formal modelling of WSNs, use of constraint programming techniques for 
efficient deployment and use of WSNs, middleware for distributed systems 
of small nodes, execution environments and operating systems for 
wireless sensor nodes, etc. ProFuN welcomes applications from candidates 
who want to conduct research spanning one or more of these directions.**

A Post-Doctoral position requires a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, 
Computer Engineering, or equivalent. The degree should typically have 
been obtained not more than three years ago. (If there are special 
reasons, e.g. maturity leave, a PhD degree can have been obtained 
earlier.) There is no teaching obligation in the positions although we 
encourage PostDocs to participate in education activities.
