PhD positions in information theory and interactive communications at Tel Aviv University, Israel
Two PhD positions are now available in the Department of Electrical Engineering - Systems at Tel Aviv University, Israel, in the fields of information theory and interactive communications. Starting immediately for up to two years. Funded by the European Research Committee (ERC).
Apr 14, 2015

We offer two postdoctoral fellowships for researchers in the broad area of information theory, with special emphasis on interactive communications. Specific areas of interest include single-user and multiuser communications with noisy feedback, iterative-refinement coding for two-way channels, interactive coding and its relation to dynamical systems and stochastic control, resource-limited interactive communications, distributed function computation, and combinatorial aspects of multiuser interactive communications. The research will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. Ofer Shayevitz and his group http://www.eng.tau.ac.il/~ofersha/, and is funded by a grant from the European Research Committee (ERC).

The positions are available immediately and for a period of up to two years. Applicants should hold a PhD in either electrical engineering, theoretical computer science, or mathematics, and are expected to have a strong background in information theory or closely related fields. Remuneration is highly competitive and commensurate with skills and track record. To apply, please send your CV along with a short statement of research interests to Dr. Ofer Shayevitz at [email protected].
