About CLARITY

The CLARITY centre, a consortium of University College Dublin, Dublin
City University, and Tyndall research institute, has recently obtained
EUR16.4 million from the Irish Government CSET programme and a set of
industry partners to work on Sensor Web technologies. CLARITY is a
multi-disciplinary research centre with strong expertise on several
aspects of sensorial devices, sensor networking, data mining techniques
and data personalization. The centre will focus on 3 main research
areas: (1) Sensor Networks & Systems; (2) Data Mining & Knowledge
Discovery; (3) Adaptivity & Personalized Feedback. CLARITY brings about
80 experts from electronic engineering, computer science,
civil/environmental engineering, architecture, chemical engineering,
working closely with the healthcare organizations and environmental
agencies. A key differentiator of CLARITY's vision is the coherent
integration of research programmes in market-oriented application
scenarios. To this end, we have carefully chosen two areas for
demonstrators: Personalized Healthcare and Adaptive Environment
monitoring. For further details see the CLARITY webpage

Requirements/skills

The holder of the studentship will be expected to pursue research within
the overall scope of the CLARITY centre. Applicants should hold a good
honours undergraduate degree in computer science/engineering, and be
able to demonstrate an aptitude for either constraint programming,
embedded systems, and networking. Preference will be given to candidate
with a good understanding of embedded system programming,
energy-efficient sensor networking. A knowledge sensor networks issues
and operating systems such as TinyOS or Contiki is an advantage.

Salary

The successful applicants will receive total funding of approximately
EUR20K (tax free) per annum for four years (subjected to annual standard
increase)+ university fees + necessary equipment. These positions are
available from September/October 2008 and are open to applicants of any
nationality.

How to apply for the RP3 research programme
