ARC Linkage Grant in Autoconfiguration of Critical Network Infrastructure, Australia: Mathematical Science

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications are invited for the following scholarship leading to the degree of PhD in mathematical science.
The scholarship is supported by the Australian Research Council Linkage grant scheme and CQR Consulting.
Australia’s critical infrastructure, e.g., water and electricity, rely more and more on computer networks. The goal of this project is to improve the security of these networks. The focus of the work will be on mathematical representations of the security system’s elements, with a view to allowing network and security specification to take place at a high level, and be automatically implemented without dealing with the minutia of configuration of individual devices such as firewalls and servers.  The potential impacts of the project include improvements to security in vital power stations and water plants, as well as improvements in efficiency in these same areas.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 28 February 2011

Postdoctoral in Mechatronics with Application to Traffic Safety, Sweden

/ January 11, 2011 Leave a Comment

You will be involved in mainly two research activities, both concerning traffic safety. The first topic is cooperative driving which will be carried out partly together with the other postdocs recruited to the department. The second topic is development of algorithms for detecting critical traffic situation based on sensor signals. Also this research will be carried out in connection with other researchers, both from academia and from industry.

Eligibility:
Required qualifications You have a recent Ph.D. degree in a subject related to any of the fields signal processing, automatic control or mechatronics. You have a good theoretical background and interest to work on real world problems. Experience in traffic safety, vehicle dynamics, data mining, detection theory and filtering is an advantage. Furthermore, an interest in interdisciplinary work with researchers and engineers from other fields is essential, as are skills in simulation techniques and mathematical analysis. You should have excellent command of spoken and written English and have good collaborative skills. Teaching experience is an advantage.

Application procedure

The application shall be written in English and include the following items:

1. An application of a maximum of one A4 page containing your specific qualifications for the position
2. Curriculum Vitae including list of publications
3. Two reference persons who can be contacted by Chalmers (describe association with them and give their contact addresses)
4. Attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents.
Fellowship Application Deadline: 2011-02-25
