Dear Colleagues,

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in recent years, both in academia and industry; this is mainly attributed to their unprecedented operating conditions and a variety of commercially viable applications. 

To date, and this may very well change in forthcoming years, the main problem in deploying WSNs is their dependence on scarce battery power. A main design criterion is hence to extend the lifetime of the network without jeopardizing reliable, secure and efficient communications between the sensor nodes as well as from the nodes to one or several data sinks.

To this end, we are primarily interested in designing security mechanisms which fit neatly into the sensors' PHY, MAC and/or network layers, thereby facilitating an increase in communication reliability and a decrease in the likelihood of various forms of intrusion and attacks.

We are happy to offer a 12 month post-doc position here in the R&D laboratories of France Telecom in Grenoble (http://www.grenoble-isere-tourisme.com/english/defaulthtml.htm), in the Alps. The potential candidate ought to have the following qualifications:

- experience with the analysis and/or design of WSNs;
- in-depth knowledge of sensor PHY, MAC and network layer;
- be familiar with security mechanisms;
- passion for mountaineering, skiing and fondues.

Applicants shall send their resume directly to me until 1 May 2006 (1 June notification, 1 July commencement). In the case of any further enquiries, please, feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,
Mischa.
