School of Engineering: Research Fellow in Green Radio: Sustainable Wireless Networks
The research fellow post will investigate novel techniques to make future wireless networks significantly more energy efficient than those deployed now.
This post is part of a joint academic-industry programme called "Green Radio", which studies how wireless networks can be made more energy efficient and sustainable. The specific objective of the Green Radio programme is to investigate and create innovative methods to achieve significant reductions in the total energy needed to operate a radio access network and to identify appropriate radio architectures which enable such energy reductions. You will focus on novel techniques to minimise energy consumption for both both base stations and wireless terminals and handsets. These approaches may be based on concepts from emerging wireless standards, such as the Long Term Evolution system or approaches derived from recent research on low power wireless sensor networks. You will collaborate with PhD students working on the project at the University of Edinburgh and with researchers at other collaborating universities.
You will have a PhD (or have submitted) or equivalent in engineering, computer science or related discipline, and have a strong background in wireless communications. This appointment will be for eighteen months starting on 1st April 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Addressing carbon metabolism and allocation in higher plants for production of functional food and bioenergy
A postdoctoral position is available immediately after the application time ends at Dept of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics, BioCenter, SLU, Uppsala, Sweden. It is one year´s position with a possibility for extension of an additional year. Further employment can be applied depending on the quality of the first two years. The department has a good and stimulating work environment
with a well internationally recognized quality. The department does, together with five other departments at SLU, form the Uppsala BioCenter ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]).
Carbon metabolism and allocation are one of the core issues in plant science due to their high importance in design of plant production for different applications both in agriculture and industry. As new techniques and concepts in plant biotechnology emerge, it is now possible to direct carbon flux to different fractions of carbon polymers such as starch, fructan, beta-glucan, cellulose and oil in higher plants. We are focusing on two currently hot topics in plant biology, bioenergy and functional food. Our research goals are to use high technology in metabolic engineering such as transcription factor technology to reprogram carbon metabolism and produce required carbon polymers for many industrial purposes in bioenergy and functional food. For the details of our research please visit our website ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]).
You will be supported by a postdoctoral stipend for the first half year and by a salary for the rest of one and half years. The objective of your research is to understand carbon allocation in cereal endosperm at a level of molecular biology and provide a theoretical support on breeding of cereal crops for production of functional food and bioenergy. You will work on how carbon flux is directed in developing cereal endosperm with techniques mostly used in molecular cell biology including employing isotopes as a tool.
Applicants should be highly motivated and interested in molecular cell biology. Knowledge and technical skills in analysis of gene and protein expression such as Real- Time PCR, microarrays, 454 sequencing, proteomics and in carbohydrate research will be considered as good merits.
