Location: Europe
Applications are invited for a Masters/PhD studentship in the area of interoperability of software defined radio systems. This area of research, led by Dr. Ronan Farrell, as part of substantial ongoing activities in the Institute of Microelectronics and Wireless Systems in the area of reconfigurable radio systems. This project is part of a larger collaborative research programme within the SFI Centre for Telecommunications Value-Chain Research (CTVR)
As the number of reconfigurable radio platforms increase, both hardware and software components, it is increasingly difficult to ascertain the relative performance of these systems and the level of interoperability between the different hardware and software elements. Existing solutions in this space are overwhelmingly complex. The research will focus on tools and techniques to assess the performance of measure and accurately quantify the capabilities of the various platforms currently available, and then to propose a low-cost interface for encouraging interoperability between hardware and software platforms.
Candidates should hold a first or upper second class honours degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science or a cognate discipline. Interest, and preferably experience, in the area of software engineering, telecommunications and electronics systems is essential.
Successful candidates will join a large multi-disciplinary team and be initially enrolled on a full-time Masters of Engineering Science, with a review after 18 months for progression to a PhD programme.
The studentship will comprise of fees and an annual stipend of 17,000 Euros. It will be initially awarded for a period of 18 months years, extendable upon satisfactory review to a subsequent 18 months. The position is available immediately though, upon agreement, the start date may be postponed to January 2008.

Postdoctoral Position in Immunology at The Wistar Institute
Location: USA
Immunology Post-doctoral Position: Transcriptional regulation/Chromatin remodeling
Post-doctoral position in the field of transcriptional regulation/chromatin remodeling in the immune system is available as of November. Our research areas include the molecular mechanisms of B lymphopoiesis (Nat. Immunol. 7: 819), memory B/plasma cell development, and functional regulation of effector and memory T cells (Nat. Immunol 2:705). The research will involve gene-targeting, in vivo and in vitro experimental models to explore functions of novel transcription factors, and use long-range chromatin structure analysis and BAC recombineering to carry out studies on transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling.
The successful candidate will have recently acquired a Ph.D. and/or M.D. preferably in immunology with technique expertise in flow cytometry, molecular biology and/or biochemistry. Candidates should be self-motivated and career oriented.Strong organizational and oral/written communication skills are desirable.
Application
To apply, please submit your curriculum vitae and cover letter including names and contact information of three references to Dr. Hui Hu at hhuatwistar.org
