A854
£32,795-£39,160
For this Infolab 21 post, we are particularly interested in candidates who sit on the boundaries between traditional computer science and the engineering perspectives of communications and networking, who are motivated and excited by their discipline and able to slot into a thriving research culture. Areas of research are not prescribed, but the cross cutting themes of multimedia, sensor networks, security, and optimization would fit well with strengths in the Infolab21 departments. You must have a PhD in Computer Science, Communications Engineering or a closely-related subject and an emerging international reputation for your research.

Research Associates
For details see University Personnel pages.
We are seeking excellent candidates for both PhD and postdoctoral positions in the following technical areas:
1. Advanced network technologies and protocols for GRIDS. It is desirable that the candidate would have experience in some or all of the following areas:
- mathematical modelling of network traffic
- ns2 network simulation
- network charging / economics
2. Security and resilience models for critical (network) infrastructures, component based frameworks and intrusion detection, and online monitoring. Experience in thread models, security frameworks and component based models would be desirable.
3. The deployment of test-beds/trials across Europe in order to evaluate the effectiveness of P2P technologies when applied to a variety of services, across a heterogeneous networking infrastructure targeting various user terminals/devices. Some experience of liaising with end-users would also be advantageous.
4. The interface between distributed systems and networking, specifically to design and implement a server-less web system that provides better search and retrieve performance than today's client-server system. Experience in multicast and also searching algorithms would be advantageous.
An advertisement will appear on jobs.ac.uk and Lancaster University’s website very soon.
Studentships
EPSRC Research studentships (PhD)
The Department also has a number of EPSRC Research studentships available for prospective PhD students. These are available to UK or EU residents only. If you are interested in research in the Department and in applying for one of these studentships, please contact our postgraduate secretary.
