Project Title: Collaborative edge-cLoud continuum and Embedded AI for a Visionary industry of thE futuRe (CLEVER)
 
The School of Computer Science & Information Technology (CSIT) at UCC is part of four major Irish SFI-funded national Research Centres, including CONNECT, the Centre for Future Networks & Communications. We are now looking to fill two positions, at Post-Doctoral or Senior Post-Doctoral level, on a Horizon Key Digital Technologies Joint Undertaking Project called CLEVER, and to participate in our vibrant research community here at CSIT.
 
The CLEVER project’s overall aim is propose  a series of innovations that  revolutionize  the  ability  of  edge  computing  platforms  to  operate  in a federated manner, leveraging  sparse  resources  that  are  coordinated  to  create  a  powerful pool  of  resources, especially for massive Internet of Things (mIoT) or massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC). UCC’s role is firstly to create a trust framework for system elements and for data processing, and secondly a solution that uses AI-inspired methodologies for prediction and placement of edge workload.
We are looking for two experienced researchers to join our team as Post Doctoral/Senior Post Doctoral Researchers. Applicants are invited from those with a Ph.D. qualification and publications in a directly relevant area such as security for embedded/edge systems and/or applications of AI techniques for network or system resource allocation. Ideally, applicants should have experience of working in the IT industry or collaborating with companies on research projects.
 
Each appointee will be expected to make significant contributions to the research agenda of the CLEVER project, working closely with the Principal Investigators Professors Sreenan, Roedig, Brown, Dr. Zahran and with academic and industry collaborators. We welcome applications of researchers with an established publication track record, appropriate to their career stage. In line with our Athena SWAN ambitions we especially encourage women to apply for these positions.
