Research Position in City-Scale Sensor Networks for Urban Sustainability and Smart Cities
The Intelligent Systems Centre (IntelliSys) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is working on various R&D issues in sensor networks and cyber-physical systems in order to develop impactful applications for large-scale deployment in Singapore. We have developed and deployed several large-scale sensor networks such as the National Weather Sensor Grid (http://nwsp.ntu.edu.sg), the WaterWiSe@SG (http://aqueduct.nus.edu.sg/waterwise/), etc in Singapore. Building upon our experience and expertise, We are embarking on ambitious projects to develop and deploy unified city-scale sensor networks and cyber-physical infrastructures for urban sustainability and smart cities applications such as environmental monitoring, water infrastructure monitoring, intelligent transportation, smart buildings, smart grids, etc. We are inviting applications for the following research position. 1. Research Scientist / Research Fellow Responsibilities : * Work with other members of the team in the design and development of city-scale sensor networks and cyber-physical systems. * Design and deploy large-scale wireless mesh networks in urban environments. * Explore emerging wireless network technologies such as Wifi over white spaces for possible deployment in Singapore. * Design and develop city-scale hierarchical heterogeneous sensor networks based on various existing and future network technologies. * Develop sensor data collection techiques for city-scale sensor networks and cyber-physical systems. * Prototype novel applications for urban sustainability and smart cities. Requirements : * A PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fields. * Substantial expertise in one or more of the following areas : sensor networks, wireless networks, mesh networks, sensor integration and data collection. * Substantial hands-on experience in the development and deployment of sensor networks. * Excellent programming skills in C/C++, Java, etc. * Excellent analytical, technical and problem solving skills. Desirable Attributes : * Great interest and desire to be a productive researcher. * Good publication record in reputable journals or conferences. * Innovative, resourceful, and self-motivated. * A team player with good people skills. * Strong verbal and written communication skills. The successful candidate will receive a competitive remuneration package commensurate with their qualifications and experience. There is no closing date for applications.
