Two Ph.D. Positions in Wireless Biomedical Sensor Networks
Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

Two Ph.D. positions in Wireless biomedical sensor networks at
Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, NTNU, Norway. Two
Ph.D. scholarships are offered within the area of Wireless biomedical
sensor networks at the Department of Electronics and
Telecommunications (http://www.iet.ntnu.no) in the Faculty of
Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering,
Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

The scholarships are financed by the Research Council of Norway (NFR)
under the VERDIKT program. The project is on "Strategies for seamless
deployment of mobile patient monitoring systems" (SAMPOS) and is a
joint effort among Rikshospitalet University Hospital, SINTEF ICT,
Norwegian Computing Center, and ABB Research. International
collaborators are EPFL Switzerland, KTH Sweden and Johns Hopkins
University, USA.

The goal of the project is to develop more basic understanding of, and
novel and more efficient (principles) methods for signal processing
and communication in wireless biomedical sensor networks. The project
will mainly address basic research, for improved energy-efficiency,
quality-of-service (QoS), and robustness. For more information, please
visit http://www.ivs.no/sampos

Duties: The candidates will be associated with the Signal Processing
Group at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications at NTNU.
They will work in a strong and active scientific environment, and the
project will incorporate collaboration with several foreign partners,
including Nordic industry. International publication of research
results will be emphasized. We seek highly motivated individuals
holding a masters degree in electrical engineering, communication
technology, or other relevant disciplines.

Requirements: The candidates must be formally qualified for Ph.D.
studies at NTNU. General information about doctoral studies at NTNU
can be found at http://www.ime.ntnu.no/Dr.gradsstudier
It is demanded that the scholarship holders apply for, and are
accepted for, the Ph.D. study programme at NTNU as soon as possible
after hiring.

Compensation: The position is remunerated according to wage levels 41
to 58 on the Norwegian State salary scale, with gross salary from NOK
310.500 to NOK 418.200 a year, of which 2% is deducted for the

ramstadat@iet.ntnu.no
phone: +47 73594314) for further information.

The application must contain cover letter, curriculum vitae, certified
copies of transcripts with grades for bachelor and master degrees,
list of publications (if any) and two letters of recommendations.

Applications are to be sent to:

Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical
Engineering
Gamle Fysikk
Sem Sælands vei 5
