Telecom Bretagne (a graduate engineering school aka Grandes Ecoles) opens a tenured Assistant Professor position in Computer Science. The position is located in Brest, France.
Keywords: future networks, large-scale communication engineering, cloud networking, network virtualization, P2P networks and applications, overlay networks, information-centric networking. Here is a link toward the full description of the position: http://www.telecom-bretagne.eu/ecole/ressources_humaines/offres_d_emplois/mc-info-eng/ Here is a (slightly biased) text I wrote for those who don't know what is a position in a French Grande Ecole: http://peerdal.blogspot.com/2012/03/about-faculty-positions-in-europe-and.html A short description follows. == Research Environment: The IDEAL research team focuses on Future Networks, and more particularly on dimensioning, network architecture, metrology and traffic engineering. Its members participate to the REOP research team in the CNRS Lab IRISA. They demonstrate various skills: probability, statistics, traffic engineering, network architecture, distributed algorithms. == Research Topic: The applicant shall work on network design, optimization or management methods, which are currently rapidly changing in order to both support cloud computing and evolve towards Information Centric Networking. The applicant shall demonstrate previous experience in one of the following topics: routing in the context of decoupling between name and address (for users, resources and objects), network virtualization methods (e.g. virtual networks APIs), large scale distributed algorithms, dimensioning methods. She/He should focusher/his future research on one of the following topics • Identification and analysis of innovative communication methods that scale in muti-service networks serving several billons users • Dynamic and adaptive control of services deployed over those large scale networks • Cloud networking support of video applications (IPTV and VoD) • Operation and management, including monitoring, of virtual networks and virtualized infrastructures == Qualifications and Competencies: The applicant should have a PhD in Computer Science or Computer Networking, and demonstrate an expertise in the fields of Computer Engineering, including distributed computing, with a good publication record in Performance Evaluation and Traffic Engineering. Skills in Applied Mathematics and Statistics will be useful for network metrology and diagnosis activities. == Contact Person: [email protected] == On line application (deadline 30 April 2012):: http://www.telecom-bretagne.eu/about/job-offers/ -- Gwendal SIMON Associate-Professor Telecom Bretagne (Institut Mines-Telecom) Department Computer Science Tel: +33 229 00 15 73 http://perso.telecom-bretagne.eu/gwendalsimon/ _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
