[DMANET] Postdoctoral position in Distributed Algorithms, Loughborough University Computer Science

<http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/BBB561/research-associate/>Applications are
invited for a postdoctoral research associate position in the area of
distributed algorithms in the research group of Dr. Amitabh Trehan
<http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/compsci/staff/academic-teaching/trehanamitabh/>
at Loughborough University Computer Science.
<http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/compsci/>

The position is funded by an EPSRC first grant to work on an exciting new
project called *COSHER: Compact Self-healing Routing (COSHER) *(RCUK link
<http://gtr.rcuk.ac.uk/projects?ref=EP%2FP021247%2F1>) that aims to combine
research on compact routing with resilience (self-healing) using the
standard message-passing modelling of networks (as graphs) and mathematical
analysis of proposed algorithms. The position is for a one-year fixed term
in the present instance providing a competitive 12 month salary with
standard benefits. The expected start date is Fall 2017 (Available to
begin as early as July 1, 2017).

The successful candidate should have a PhD in Computer Science, mathematics
or related disciplines with knowledge and understanding of algorithms and
CS theory and/or networks. Experience in designing distributed/network
algorithms is highly desirable.
