Research Position:Microwave Power Systems for Irradiating Bio-solids, UBC, Canada

We have a research opportunity for a talented graduate student (preferably PhD) interested in a multi-disciplinary research project in microwave power systems for heating bio-solids (residuals from sewage treatment plants) for enhanced energy (biogas) recovery. The student should have a strong background in electromagnetic theory and microwave engineering, and be interested in applying this knowledge to develop innovative waveguide structures for irradiating bio-solids. The student will be part of a multi-disciplinary research team and work with graduate students in environmental engineering who are developing innovative methods for treating organic waste from municipal and industrial sources. The research will involve theoretical work associated with the development of electro-thermal models for bio-solids, integrating these models into EM simulations of waveguide structures, and laboratory work to measure dielectric properties and implement microwave power systems.

Interested students should contact Professors Thomas Johnson (Electrical Engineering) or Cigdem Eskicioglu (Environmental Engineering) in the School of Engineering at UBC. Please include your resume/CV with a brief description of your research experience.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Contact employer, thomas.johnson-at-ubc.ca; cigdem.eskicioglu-at-ubc.ca

Research Fellowships Positions in the Department of Electronic Engineering, University of Surrey, UK

The Centre for Communication Systems Research is seeking to recruit two full time researchers, initially for 1 year but extendable to longer term depending on performance. The work is funded through a project in the EU ICT Framework Program. For these openings, the successful candidates will be required to have postdoctoral research experience in University or Industry environments. Their areas of specialisation should be in the field of wireless networks, QoS routing, context awareness or self-x functionalities. For these openings, the successful applicants will be required to have experience in the general area of Mobile and Wireless Communications. Good analytical and/or simulation skills are essential. Applicants are expected to be proactive, to support other researchers and to be self-motivated.
Applicants should have a good honors degree in communications or electronic engineering, in computer science or another related discipline. Preference will be given to those with proven research and publications track record preferably with PhD and/or practical industrial experience. You will join an established research centre within a 5*A research rated EE department with a large scale wireless testbed for experimental proof of concept, excellent computing and software infrastructure for first class research, modern facilities and close links with industry.
