Postdoctoral Position in Resilient and Secure Delay-critical Edge Computing

The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions an interconnected world where virtually all devices, from cars to wearables, from home appliances to factory machines, from cameras to health-monitoring devices, will be interconnected and continuously share data. The IoT promises to transform the way we live and is a key enabler for applications such as intelligent transportation systems, automated supply-chain management, smart cities, smart grids, and smart farming. The success of these technologies and the full realization of the IoT depend on the ability of performing latency-critical, highly computationally demanding tasks in third parties. Edge computing is a new paradigm that promises to achieve that, moving the computation power from the cloud closer to where data is generated, by pooling the available resources at the network edge. Within this research project, you will work on novel methods to design resilient, low-latency, secure, and privacy-preserving edge computing schemes. This position is part of a larger initiative at Chalmers on this area. Your supervisors in this project will be Prof. Alexandre Graell I Amat and Prof. Giuseppe Durisi.

You will be part of the Communication Systems Group at Chalmers, which is known for its contributions to coding and information theory and to areas ranging from wireless to optical communication systems. The group has over 40 members from all over the world. The working language at Chalmers in English. The position is for one year, with the possibility to extend for one more year, depending on your performance and the available funding. You will receive a competitive salary with social benefits and pension.
