Oxford University Computing Laboratory (OUCL) has received an EPSRC award to fund a D.Phil studentship for research into hybrid mobile and sensor networks for wildlife monitoring.
This research is co-directed by Dr Niki Trigoni at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory, in collaboration with Dr Cecilia Mascolo at University College London and Prof David Macdonald and Dr Chris Newman at the Oxford's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit. The student will collaborate with a postdoctoral research assistant in OUCL in the WILDSENSING project to improve the existing wildlife monitoring technology by developing distributed algorithms for efficient data dissemination, storage and collection.
The objectives of the project are to:
1) define high-level language primitives for programming the integrated platform of sensor and mobile nodes;
2) develop distributed algorithms for intelligent cooperation among mobile devices and sensor nodes, allowing the system to minimize the total monitoring effort;
3) design distributed algorithms for energy-efficient data dissemination in the sensor network;
4) deploy a prototype monitoring system at Oxford University's research reserve, Wytham Woods, in order to monitor the social behaviour of badgers and the microclimatic conditions around their setts.
The studentship is fully funded by EPSRC for three years at home/eu level and will included a stipend of £12,600.
Further information can be obtained from http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/jobs/wildsensing.pdf and informal queries about the project can be sent to Niki.Trigoni@comlab.ox.ac.uk.
The deadline for submission has been extended to 25th July.

Rincon Research Corporation in Tucson, AZ is looking for self-motivated embedded software engineers. At least 1-2 years experience with programming in TinyOS and Java is necessary. TinyOS 2.x and hardware engineering experience is extremely beneficial.
Being a research corporation, Rincon's philosophy is to develop reliable open-source TinyOS infrastructure that supports internal projects as well as the TinyOS community. Example research and infrastructure that has been released to the TinyOS community includes the modified CC2420 and CC1000 low power listening stacks; non-volatile storage solutions including flash abstractions, the Blackbook flash file system, and internal microcontroller flash solutions; software testing, analysis, bug fixes, and high resolution power measurements. Internally, Rincon Research also develops non-commercial ad-hoc networking hardware solutions.
Rincon Research is a U.S. government contractor; U.S. citizenship is required. Must be able to obtain and keep a U.S. security clearance.
Send resumes to dmm AT rincon.com. References to previous projects and code would be useful.

Fulltime. Working for a startup. Availability now or January 1.
1 to 3 years of TinyOS development experience required.
Experience with a multi-developer software processes (e.g., CMM
Level-2) also required. Broad knowledge of WSN is important.
Understanding of embedded .NET as applied to higher tiers is a strong
plus. WSN management insights (i.e. deployment management) also a
strong plus. Numerical and algorithm talent a plus. Lab, field,
and/or tinkering skills also a plus.
Willing to apply for permanent resident status, in most cases.
Also willing to apply for H1-B visas. However, applicant must have
some legal means of working now (e.g., practical training), as
immigrant visa petitions and even H1-B visas take time to process.
Relocation to Columbus OH preferred and may be required in some
cases. Salary based on cost of living in Columbus OH.

Research Assistants /Associates
Department of Computing
Research Assistant Salary: £23,560 - 26,200 p.a. dependent on experience
Research Associate Salary: £23,560 - £34,330 p.a. dependent on experience
We are looking for two Research Assistants/Associates to work on a new EU funded project, WASP (Wirelessly Accessible Sensor Populations), to develop a new generation of intelligent sensor networks for pervasive sensing. Experience in any of the following areas will be preferred:
* Multi-sensor fusion, pattern recognition, data mining and knowledge discovery
* Machine learning and decision support
* Embedded systems, wireless sensor networks and automatic systems
* Large-scale real-time databases
WASP aims to facilitate collaboration between industry and academics in applying the developments in wireless sensor networks (WSN) to `real life' situations. The general goal of the project is the provision of a complete system view for building large populations of collaborating objects. This will be demonstrated with the development of systems for three chosen business areas:
* assisted road transport
* elderly care benefits (Imperial engagement)
* herd health control.
The project is set to run for three and a half years (42 months) from September 2006.
The posts are for a fixed term of 36 months. Research Assistant applicants should have a distinction-level Masters degree (or equivalent) in computer science, electrical engineering or medical physics. Research Associate applicants should have a PhD (or equivalent) in computer science, electrical engineering or medical physics. Preference will be given to applicants with a proven research record in relevant areas.
Additional information: Additional information on the project is expected to appear on the link below:
http://www.wasp-project.org/
Applications should include a College application form, which can be obtained from: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/employment/academicform.htm. Please quote reference: "WASP".
A 1-2 page research statement should be provided outlining interesting research issues relating to one or more of the above posts and why your expertise is relevant.
Applications must include a full CV, stating the names and addresses of two referees and should be sent to:

We are seeking a developer to create a TinyOS program that turns on an MCS Cricket Transmitter when in the presence of a MCS Cricket Receiver. The Crickets are from Crossbow. The purpose of the program is to save the battery life of the Cricket Transmitter so it only transmits when there is a receiver in the area. This is a contract position.
