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, address@hidden.

 

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 http://www.nist.gov/itl/antd/emntg/.
