Postdoctoral Research Associate in Intelligent Systems at ORISE
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Oak Ridge, TN
ORNL11-80-MSSED
Project Description
The RF, Communications, and Intelligent Systems (RFCIS) Group in the Measurement Science and Systems Engineering Division (MSSE) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) seeks a post doctoral (postdoc) candidate to support the intelligent systems focus area of the ORNL Cognitive Radio Program. The successful candidate will join a team of researchers actively working on signal processing and cognitive radio technologies. The RFCIS Group performs research and development (R&D) that involves robust communications in extreme environments, signal processing, and machine learning.
The group has a growing effort in learning-from-signals algorithm developments that are being applied to a wide array of applications, including multi-source signal detection and blind signal separation. The position requires a strong emphasis on applied mathematics and the selected candidate should have experience in computational intelligence, machine learning methods (e.g., kernel methods, multi-objective optimization, evolutionary computation, Bayesian belief networks, and probabilistic reasoning algorithms), learning from data, adaptive signal processing, and multivariate optimization.
Qualifications
The selected candidate may be required to:
Have a Ph.D. in mathematics, statistics, engineeirng, computer science or closely related field
Conduct research related to time series and spatial data analysis, joint time-frequency analysis, numerical analysis, optimization and stochastic processes, and simulation modeling of dynamic processes and dynamical systems;
Prototype signal processing concepts using MATLAB and Simulink modeling and simulation tools and digital signal processing (DSP) techniques;
Develop efficient algorithms for digital signal processing;
Be familiar with C/C++, VHDL, Fortran, and Assembly programming languages;
Participate on technical teams;
Prepare and deliver presentations to technical peers and at professional meetings;
Possess sufficient technical writing skills to facilitate the preparation of technical documents (e.g., reports, conference papers, and journal articles).
Applicants cannot have received the most recent degree more than five years prior to the date of application and must complete all degree requirements before starting their appointment.
How to Apply
Qualified applicants must apply online at www2.orau.gov/ORNL_POST. All applicants will need to register before they can begin the online application. For complete instructions, on how to apply, please see the instructions at www.orau.gov/orise/edu/ornl/ornl-pdpm/application.htm.
This appointment is offered through the ORNL Postgraduate Research Participation Program and is administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE). The program is open to all qualified U.S. and non-U.S. citizens without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, national origin, physical or mental disability, or status as a Vietnam-era veteran or disabled veteran.
