 [Our sincere apologies if your receive multiple copies of this message]

Applications are invited by the Mobile Communications department at 
EURECOM, France, for a Post-Doc position in collaboration with Intel 
Mobile Communications, in the area of MOBILE DATA OFFLOADING.  

EURECOM is an elite French graduate school and research center 
conducting high quality research in the areas of Mobile Communication, 
Networking and Security, and Multimedia. It is situated in Sophia 
Antipolis (between Nice and Cannes), Europe's leading international 
science park. It is in close proximity with a large number of research 
units of leading multi-national corporations in the telecommunications, 
semiconductor and biotechnology sectors, as well as other outstanding 
research and teaching institutions. A freethinking, multinational 
population and the unique geographic location provide a quality of life 
without equal. More information about the school and department are 
available at https://www.eurecom.fr/en and http://www.eurecom.fr/cm/.

---Topic---

This position is partially funded by Intel Mobile Communications (IMC), 
France (http://www.intel.eu/content/www/eu/en/research/intel-labs.html), 
on the topic of Wireless Traffic Flow Optimization for Multicom. The 
successful candidate will thus have the chance to closely collaborate 
with and be informed by colleagues in Intel MC, a global leader in 
computer and mobile technology. The focus of the position will be on the 
design, modeling, and analysis of efficient offloading algorithms for 
mobile data traffic, in a context where multiple wireless interfaces 
(e.g. 3G, LTE, WiFi) are available. The successful candidate will be 
tasked with the understanding of key requirements and constraints of 
real-life systems, the selection and/or development of models for 
network availability and performance, the design and evaluation of 
optimal multi-NIC scheduling algorithms, and the design and evaluation 
of learning and prediction algorithms for key parameters in the 
developed framework. The initial position duration is for 18 months, 
offers a competitive salary, and will be supervised by Prof. 
Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos. Some additional background on the research 
topics can be found in

ACM CoNEXT 2010

---Requirements---

We are looking for candidates who are self-motivated and would like to 
conduct high quality research, and publish in top venues. Candidates 
should have a PhD degree from a university of good standing, with a 
strong publication record in an area related to Wireless Networks and/or 
Performance Analysis and Optimization. Good knowledge of wireless 
technology and a strong theoretical background (especially in the areas 
of Queueing Theory, Scheduling, and Stochastic Optimization) is 
necessary, as well as good programming skills. Previous experience with 
specific wireless standards (LTE, 3G, etc.), data measurement and 
analysis, and Android programming will also be appreciated. A very good 
level of written and spoken English is mandatory (knowledge of French is 
not required).

---Application material---

The position is available *immediately*, and the selected candidate will 
be expected to join as soon as possible, but no later than April 1st. 
The application evaluation and selection process will begin 
*immediately*, and will continue until the position is filled. 
Interested individuals should submit:

- 1-2 page summary of research interests.
- Detailed CV including publications.
- 2 representative publications.
- Names and contact details of at least two referees, who are willing to 
provide detailed recommendation letters about the candidate
- Transcript of courses taken at graduate (and optionally undergraduate) 
levels and their grades

Please, send your application material by e-mail with the subject line 
**Mobile Traffic Offloading Postdoc Position** to
