A Research Fellow position is available for an Australian Research Council (ARC) funded research project on Smart Coding for Improved Performance of Complexity Constrained Devices.

You will conduct research into the development of new theory on distributed source coding methods based on convolutional codes.

A starting point for the research consists of theory linking this area  with system theoretic concepts, involving systems over finite fields and systems over finite rings.

A PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or Mathematics or a related field is required. A strong research record in system theory/coding theory/data compression is desirable.

The position is for two years; salary range: $73,863 - $82,170.
