Postdoctoral Researcher with Experience of FPGA for Signal Processing-Intensive Applicationsr - San Diego, CA

A post-doc researcher position is available at the UCSD division of California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) located in La Jolla, California. The position is in the area of PHY/MAC layer hardware/software co-design and implementation for a wireless networking test-bed.

The successful candidate will conduct the following tasks:
1) Design and implement physical layer and MAC layer system on FPGA/embedded processor-based prototyping platforms;
2) Develop novel algorithms and protocols for wireless network optimization; and
3) Perform experimental study and field testing.

Basic Requirements:
1) A recent Ph.D. degree with solid background in wireless and signal processing;
2) More than two (2) years of developing experience using FPGA for signal processing intensive applications;
3) Extensive experience in Matlab and C simulation for wireless systems; and
4) Good communication skills and team work spirit.

Ideal candidates should also have:
1) Knowledge of various wireless standards based on multi-carrier technology, such as WLAN, WiMax and LTE;
2) Trackable research experience in MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) technology;
3) Worked on wireless MAC protocol design and evaluation;
4) Used Simulink and/or System Generator to model wireless transceiver systems;
5) Experience with high level synthesis, such as System C; and
6) Experience with embedded programming.

Bioinformatics Engineer (Mulitple Openings)

At The J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), teams of scientists, engineers, and bioinformatics professionals are making some of the most exciting scientific discoveries in the world. We recently uncovered more than six million new genes by sampling life forms across the world’s oceans, and are making steady progress in our quest to create synthetic organisms to serve as sources of renewable energy. These are just a few of the many research areas our teams are tackling as we seek to make a worldwide impact with our science. We are expanding, and need Bioinformatics Engineers to help us make these discoveries and share them with scientists worldwide.

Successful candidates will include those with degrees in computer or biological sciences (BS, MS, PhD), and programing skills in Perl / Bioperl / CGI. Knowledge of other languages including C/C++ or Java / J2EE is a plus. Bioinformatics experience (especially genomics) and expertise with HTML, XML and SQL are preferred, and knowledge of statistics or algorithm development would be a major plus. We are interested in individuals fresh from academic training as well as experienced professionals. Want to join a world-class research environment that is pushing the frontiers of science?
