In short
This postdoctoral position at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden focuses on designing and evaluating resilient edge-cloud architectures for critical digital infrastructure. The role involves developing network and system mechanisms to ensure operational continuity under failures and attacks, combining protocol design with practical implementation and validation.
Responsibilities
- Design resilient network protocols and architectures for varying connectivity conditions.
- Apply mechanisms to maintain communication services for sensors, IoT, and edge systems during disruptions.
- Develop methods for computation offloading between end devices, edge, and cloud.
- Contribute to robust AI/ML and data analysis for resilient decision making with partial data.
- Integrate and evaluate solutions with partners' software in large-scale tests.
- Publish results in leading international conferences and journals.
- Contribute to EU project deliverables and technical reporting.
- Collaborate with industrial and academic partners across Europe.
Requirements
- PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Strong background in networked and distributed systems (e.g., network protocols, wireless/IoT networking, edge computing).
- Experience in system design and experimental evaluation.
- Demonstrated ability to publish scientific research.
- Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, C/C++, or equivalent).
- Excellent written and spoken English.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with EU-funded research projects.
- Experience with robust or distributed AI/ML (e.g., federated learning).
- Experience with delay- and disruption-tolerant, opportunistic, or mesh networking.
- Familiarity with containerization, virtualization, or distributed deployment environments.
- Experience with computation offloading, caching, or edge resource management.
- Experience with testbeds or real-world deployments, including low-power IoT devices.
- Familiarity with semiconductor or embedded hardware platforms.
- Experience collaborating with industrial partners.
Benefits
- Opportunity to publish in leading international venues.
- Influence over technical direction.
- Access to realistic deployment environments and industrial validation scenarios.
- Participation in large-scale European research collaboration.
- Exposure to the full research-to-deployment pipeline.
- Career development support toward senior roles.
- Full-time, fixed-term appointment for two years.
- Experience in large-scale European collaboration and applied research.
- Travel for consortium meetings, workshops, and conferences (3-4 international trips/year).
