VICTORIA UNIVERSITY AUSTRALIA POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

VICTORIA UNIVERSITY AUSTRALIA POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

The Victoria University Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Scheme is a new initiative to build its research and to support outstanding early career researchers seeking to commence an academic/research career. The Scheme provides ap-pointments of 3 years duration. Up to 10 Research Fellowships will be supported in 2008 under this Scheme at Academic Levels A and B.

Salary scales are provided in the application kit. A minimum start-up grant of $12,000 will be provided to successful applicants. This will be a highly competitive scheme, and applicants are expected to have a strong track record relative to opportunity.

The scheme focuses on outstanding early career researchers who would normally be within 5 years of completing their Doctoral qualification.

The Centre for Telecommunications and Micro-Electronics (CTME) is interested in supporting a number of high quality applicants with expertise in:

1. Communications: Multi-input Multi-output (MIMO) Wireless Communications, OFDM systems, Cognitive Radio, Multi-User Detection, Information Theory.
2. Signal Processing: Estimation and Detection, Array Processing, signal processing for hardware implementation, equalization and optimization methods.
3. Networking: MAC algorithms, Cross-layer optimization, Routing Protocol for Ad Hoc and Mesh Networks.

Applications will be assessed on quality of the proposed research project and its fit with the host unit, track record (relative to opportunity) of the applicant and the research environment in the host Institute Centre or research group. It is expected that of the majority of Fellowships will be aligned with the University’s areas of research strength, typically Research Centres and Institutes, although outstanding applicants from any discipline in which the University has re-search strengths are encouraged to apply. A complete list of areas of research strength and contacts is included in the application kit. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Application kit is available from:
