The University of Aberdeen is among the UK's top research universities, as noted in the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008) - a year long independent evaluation of the quality of research undertaken across Britain's universities. The University provides a set of web pages that describe the University or Aberdeen and why students should consider studying in Aberdeen's world-leading research environment. The Electronics Research Group (ERG) of the School of Engineering part of the College of Physical Sciences at the University of Aberdeen has a range of experience relating to the design, simulation, optimisation, and benchmarking of systems. It is functions as one of the School of Engineering Research Groups. We're looking for one Research Assistant (no prior experience in academia is required, though it can be desirable) and one Research Fellow (more experience required). The Research Assistant position is for the EU H2020 NEAT project (https://www.neat-project.org/). NEAT is a 36 Month European Union research project that is researching how to redefine the interface between the Internet applications and the network. The work is being done by a strong consortium of top industry players and leading academic centres (SRL, Mozilla, EMC, Cisco, University of Aberdeen, University of Oslo and Karlstads University). The new free open-source interface will allow Internet applications to be dynamically tailored to network capabilities (without them needing to be updated each time Internet technology changes). This is expected to lower the barrier to innovation and enable new applications to quickly adapt as the Internet technology continues to evolve. The Research Fellow position is for the EU H2020 MAMI project (https://mami-project.eu/). MAMI is a 30 month EU H2020 project led by ETH Zürich designed to re-architect the Internet do that it allows explicit cooperation between the networking equipment enabling appropriate in-network services to ease management and scalability of ever more demanding applications. We aim to restore balance among end-user privacy concerns in the face of pervasive surveillance, innovation in network protocols in the face of increasing ossification, and the provision of in-network functionality in a cooperative way. Aberdeen's work will develop innovative tools to measure Internet performance and research new algorithms and methods to solve the network problems.
