We are seeking candidates to participate in the NSF-funded NetFPGA, EPSRC-f=
unded INTERNET, and DARPA-funded MRC2 projects, which are investigating fun=
damental revisions to current network hardware and protocols in support of =
improved performance, energy efficiency, security, and resilience. These pr=
ojects involve collaborations between the University of Cambridge, Stanford=
 University, and SRI International, and are parts of larger research progra=
mmes in next-generation networking.

NetFPGA 10G is an exciting new research and teaching platform based on high=
-performance Xilinx FPGAs and multiple 10G PHYs, which will become the foun=
dation for several different research projects:

* developing network and transport layers that reduce energy consumption in=
 data centres,

* as a development platform for software defined networking,

* a teaching platform for undergraduate and graduate degree programs,

* workload-defined, hardware-accelerated, datacenter architectures, and

* alternative approaches to host and server network offload.

The position will be an integral part of an international team of researche=
rs spanning multiple institutions across academia and industry.

The successful candidate will engage in the design and implementation of ne=
w network designs, as well as their validation and evaluation.

A suitable candidate must

- be comfortable using a UNIX environment

- have at least 2 years of experience in hardware description languages (HD=
Ls) such as Verilog or some equivalent hardware expertise

An ideal candidate will have

- expertise in computer and network system design, the design of digital sy=
stems

- at least 2 years of experience programming C/C++

- experience programming scripting languages such as Perl, Python, etc.

Good interpersonal and organisational skills and the ability to work in a t=
eam are also essential.

A publication record is desirable although a track record of relevant exper=
ience will be prioritised over prior publication experience. An ideal candi=
date will hold (or be close to finishing) a PhD in Computer Science, or Com=
puter Engineering. This is not mandatory, a candidate without a PhD may be =
appointed at Research Assistant level on the salary scale =A323,811 - =A326=
,779. The position is available from January 2013 but a mutually convenient=
 start date can be negotiated.

Applications should include:

- A CV

- A completed form CHRIS6: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chri=
s6/ (parts 1 and 3 only)

Applications should be sent, preferably by email, to personnel-admin@cl.cam=
.ac.uk with a copy to andrew.moore@cl.cam.ac.uk. Postal Address: Personnel-=
Admin, University of Cambridge, Computer Laboratory, 15 JJ Thomson Avenue, =
Cambridge, CB3 0FD.
