Applications are invited for a Masters degree studentship at Hamilton Institute, National University of Ireland in the area of Molecular Communications. The successful candidate should have strong background in information theory, mathematical foundations, as well as communication network protocols (background in molecular biology is not required).

This is a full-time research position for 1.5 years to develop theoretical models for source coding in multi-hop bacteria communication nanonetworks. In particular the focus of the project will investigate how current source coding models can be applied to bacteria nanonetworks.

The Hamilton Institute has one of the largest applied mathematics research groups in Ireland and is an international centre of excellence. The successful candidate will also be collaborating closely with the Nano Communication Centre (NCC), Tampere University of Technology, Finland (http://et4nbic.cs.tut.fi/nanocom/index.html), and will be spending a period of time at NCC.

This postgraduate scholarship is open to Irish, EU and international students and carries a stipend of €18,000 (tax free).

To apply for this post, candidates should submit a detailed CV, motivation letter, a summary of scientific interests and expertise, as well as the names and addresses of two referees to: Prof. Doug Leith (Doug.Leith@nuim.ie).

Applications are invited for a senior postdoctoral position within the networking group at the Hamilton Institute, National University of Ireland, Maynooth. The Hamilton Institute has one of the largest and most active applied mathematics research groups in Ireland and is an international centre of excellence. Current areas of interest include:

• Queueing/information theory applied to wireless networks
• Network optimisation, including dynamic routing/coding
• Privacy and security
• Optimisation and distributed algorithms for smart transport

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate an excellent international research track record and the potential to contribute leadership in developing new research directions and partnerships to both strengthen and complement existing activity.

This is a full-time research position for 3 years. Salary will reflect experience and qualifications, on the Science Foundation Ireland Research Fellow scale €42,394-€63,125. The Hamilton Institute is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and a stimulating research environment.

To apply for this post, candidates should submit a detailed CV, including a list of publications, motivation letter, a summary of recent projects, scientific interests and expertise, as well as the names and addresses of two referees for letters of recommendation to: hamilton@nuim.ie.

The Hamilton Institute at the National University of Ireland Maynooth invites applications for a Chair position starting in Summer 2013. Appointment will be at full professor level. Exceptional candidates in all areas will be considered, although we especially encourage candidates working in areas that complement existing activity in the mathematics of networks (distributed optimisation, feedback control, stochastic processes on graphs) as applied to smart transport, smart city data analytics and wireless networks.

The Hamilton Institute is a dynamic and vibrant centre of excellence for applied mathematics research. The successful candidate will be a leading international researcher with a demonstrated ability to lead and develop new research directions. A strong commitment to research excellence and a successful track record in building strategic partnerships and securing independent funding from public competitive sources and/or through private investment are essential.

Informal enquires can be directed to Prof. Doug Leith (doug.leith@nuim.ie), Director of the Hamilton Institute. Details on the Hamilton Institute can be found at www.hamilton.ie. Further information on the post and the application procedure can be found at www.nuim.ie/vacancies.

The deadline for applications is 11th Feb 2013.
