Guest Researcher Position in Cognitive Radio Research with Software Defined Radios
The Emerging and Mobile Network Technologies Group (EMNTG) in the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (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/. We are seeking bright and enthusiastic candidates for a one-year 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 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 to program 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. U.S.-based applicants must have U.S. citizenship. Foreign applicants would come to NIST on a J-1 visa.
