The location for all posts is Nicosia, Cyprus. Each post has different application deadlines and contact information. Title: Special Scientists Positions (Post-doctoral) No. of Position(s): 2 Category: 1 Year Contract (subject to renewal) Applications are invited for two full-time research positions (Postdoctoral Special Scientist) in the Networks Research Laboratory (NetRL, http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=aHViZXJ0LmdhcmF2ZWwJCQlodWJlcnQuZ2FyYXZlbEBpbnJpYWxwZXMuZnIJVmFjYW5jaWVzIGZvciBSZXNlYXJjaCBQb3N0cyAtIERlcGFydG1lbnQgb2YgQ29tcHV0ZXIgU2NpZW5jZSwgVW5pdmVyc2l0eSBvZiBDeXBydXMJNAlEaXN0cmlidXRlCTEwODI0CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.NetRL.cs.ucy.ac.cy%29 and the Research Laboratory for Foundations of Computing Systems and Theoretical Computer Science (FCS Laboratory, http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=aHViZXJ0LmdhcmF2ZWwJCQlodWJlcnQuZ2FyYXZlbEBpbnJpYWxwZXMuZnIJVmFjYW5jaWVzIGZvciBSZXNlYXJjaCBQb3N0cyAtIERlcGFydG1lbnQgb2YgQ29tcHV0ZXIgU2NpZW5jZSwgVW5pdmVyc2l0eSBvZiBDeXBydXMJNAlEaXN0cmlidXRlCTEwODI0CWNsaWNrCXllcwlubw==&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffcslab.cs.ucy.ac.cy%2F%29 of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus (UCY). The successful applicants will join the EU H2020 project VISORSURF (http://www.visorsurf.eu/), starting in January 2017. VISORSURF is a 3.5 year (Jan 2017 ñ June 2020) H2020 research project funded under the very competitive FET OPEN program (4% success rate). The project is led by the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas-FORTH, Greece, and the consortium includes the University of Cyprus (Departments of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering), Cyprus, Fraunhofer IZM, Germany, SignalGenerix Ltd, Cyprus, NanoNetworking Center of Catalunya-UPC-N3CAT, Spain, and Aalto University, Finland. The project will undertake the ambitious goal of providing programming concepts and algorithms in crafting the electromagnetic/light behavior of materials (Metamaterials). VISORSURF aims to develop a hardware platform -the HyperSurface- that can host metasurface functionalities described in software, enabled via a network of nanonodes (Nanonetwork) embeded in the HyperSurface, adding the potential for hosting multiple functionalities concurrently and adaptively. We are seeking two highly-motivated researchers with a PhD degree in an area related to the project, and with proven capability to work in a demanding multi-disciplinary research environment and eager to be actively engaged in the demanding activities of FET European projects, collaborating efficiently with the project research teams. The two positions qualifications are as outlined below: Position 1: The applicants should have general knowledge in Computer Networks, and proven research work in as many of the following areas: Routing and dissemination protocols, Nanonetworks, Nature-Inspired Techniques applied in Communication Networks, and Simulation and Evaluation of Communication (Nano)Networks. Position 2: The applicants should have general knowledge of formal methods and expertise in model checking as well as a good knowledge of programming languages, and distributed computing/systems. Candidates should demonstrate strong programming and formal modelling skills and the expertise and commitment to apply rigorous semantics to real systems. Familiarity with nanonetworks will be helpful but is not necessary for the position. The position is on a contract basis of one year, subject to renewal, with a maximum duration extending to the end of the project. The monthly employment cost is equal to EUR 2000-3500 depending on qualifications. Employee and employer contributions will be deducted from the above amount. The positions do not include a 13th salary bonus or medical insurance coverage. Enquiries regarding Position 1 should be made to Professor Andreas Pitsillides (Andreas.pitsillides@ucy.ac.cy) and for Position 2 to Associate Professor Anna Philippou (annap@cs.ucy.ac.cy).
