Research posts associated with an EPSRC funded project on “Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks” We wish to recruit two Research Associates from 1st October 2013 or as soon as possible thereafter to work on an EPSRC funded project, Efficient Energy Management in Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks: An Approach Based on Distributed Compressive Sensing. The overarching objective of this research project is to develop transformative sensing mechanisms, which can be used in conjunction with current or upcoming energy harvesting capabilities, in order to enable the deployment of energy neutral or nearly energy neutral wireless sensor networks with practical network lifetime and data gathering rates up to two orders of magnitude higher than the current state-of-the-art. In particular, the project capitalizes on the emerging paradigms of compressive sensing and distributed compressive sensing as well as energy- and information-optimal data acquisition and transmission protocols in order to tightly match the energy demand to the energy supply in wireless sensor networks in order to achieve the breakthroughs in data gathering capability. This 3-years research project, which will also be carried out in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, involves both theoretical and practical work as well as proof-of-concept deployment via the various institutional and industrial partners. This research project will also explore the application of the technology in various domains such as the smart infrastructure and construction industry, the digital economy industry, healthcare systems and future cities. The proposed research is also supported by the Cambridge Innovation and Knowledge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction, Thales, Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe, STMicroelectronics and AquaMW. The posts are initially funded for a period of two years. Further funding to support the posts may also be available. Candidates should hold a PhD degree in electrical engineering, computer science or mathematics. For one post, applicants should have significant research experience in the area of compressive sensing or distributed compressive sensing or signal and information processing theory and methods. For the other post, applicants should have significant research experience in wireless sensor networks, MAC or application-layer protocol design for wireless networks and algorithms and software for data-intensive communications in wireless sensor networks. Interested applicants are encouraged to make informal enquiries to the Principal Investigator Dr Miguel Rodrigues, m.rodrigues@ucl.ac.uk, +44 (0)20 7679 3957, or the Co-Investigator Dr Yiannis Andreopoulos, i.andreopoulos@ucl.ac.uk, +44 (0)20 7679 7303.

UCL is however the first university in England to admit students of any race, class or religion, and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men. UCL is now the largest comprehensive university in London with more than 4,000 academic and research staff in 72 departments. The main campus of UCL is located in central London, just a few minutes walking distance from British Museum, West-End and Thames River. The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at UCL was established by Professor Sir Ambrose Fleming in 1885 and has a very strong research culture, state-of-the-art research equipments and facilities, and a very rich history of many fundamental research achievements in electronic and electrical engineering. The Department currently hosts international renowned research groups in Communications and Information Systems; Photonics; Optical Networks; Microwaves, Radar and Optics; Electronic Materials, Devices and Nanotechnology.
