Foreign Guest Researcher Appointment in

Cognitive Radio Research with Software Defined Radios



National Institute of Standards and Technology,

U.S. Department of Commerce



The Emerging and Mobile Network Technologies Group in the Information 
Technology Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of 
Standards and Technology (NIST), is seeking bright and enthusiastic candidates 
for a one-year foreign guest researcher appointment to implement cognitive 
radio protocols for research in dynamic spectrum access.  This position 
involves the design, development, and use of cognitive radio applications on 
software defined radios.  The incumbent will develop novel cognitive radio 
protocols; design, implement, and debug software defined radio applications 
that execute these protocols; and evaluate the performance of these protocols 
on a testbed using accepted metrics.



A programmable wireless communication testbed composed of USRP N210s, Linux 
servers, and an RF channel emulator will serve as the platform for application 
development and testing.  The incumbent will use GNU Radio and/or other 
toolkits in conjunction with the USRP.  Candidates should have experience with 
digital signal processing and programming in Python, C++, and MATLAB.  
Experience with GNU Radio and FPGA programming is desired.



The incumbent must work well in a team environment and possess a strong 
commitment with the ability to deliver high quality software.  Minimum 
educational qualifications required for this position are a Bachelor of Science 
in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.  Graduate 
students working toward a Master's or PhD and postdoctoral researchers are 
encouraged to apply.  This appointment will be made under the Exchange Visitor 
Program and is for applicants outside the U.S. who would come to NIST on a J-1 
visa.  Email c.v./resume with references to Dr. Michael Souryal,

The Emerging and Mobile Network Technologies Group at NIST conducts performance 
analysis of communication technologies and protocols to expedite the 
development and deployment of standards for emerging mobile networks.  The 
Group develops performance metrics and modeling methodologies using 
commercially available and in-house customized network modeling, simulation, 
and testbed tools.  More information on the Group's activities can be found at
