Phd Position in Sustainable Networking
vor 4 Wochen
**PhD position in Sustainable Networking**:
**100%, Zurich, fixed-term**:
The Networked Systems Group is a research group in the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (D-ITET) at ETH Zürich led by Prof. Laurent Vanbever. Our group is developing a team led by Dr. Romain Jacob, focusing on sustainable networking.
Today’s Internet, and more generally communication networks, are responsible for a large and quickly increasing share of the world’s carbon foot. The current trend of ever-increasing capacity deployment and bandwidth demand is incompatible with the emission reduction targets that we must collectively achieve.
Our research aims to identify and address the energy and carbon inefficiency of modern computer networks. Projects in this area are inherently multidisciplinary as energy consumption is affected by everything, from the bit transmissions at the physical layer to the market incentives for network deployment and pricing.
**Job description**:
Our approach to sustainable networking is primarily applied and operational: we aim to improve the sustainability of the Internet today, rather than in theory. We are interested in and considering all ideas that can contribute to that objective.
As a new group member, you are supposed to contribute to our research activities and gradually build your own independent research profile according to your interests. You are expected to work towards a doctoral degree and participate in our teaching activities.
**Your profile**:
We are looking for a new member with a strong networking and/or systems background and a Master’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field. Ideally, we are looking for someone with previous experiences, knowledge and/or strong interests about:
- Network management/operations
- Hardware design
- Routing protocols
- Modern networking stacks
- Knowledge or prior experience in sustainability-related topics is a plus, but not required.
**We offer**:
ETH Zurich is a family-friendly employer with excellent working conditions. You can look forward to an exciting working environment, cultural diversity and attractive offers and benefits.
**We value diversity**:
In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected. Visit our Equal Opportunities and Diversity website to find out how we ensure a fair and open environment that allows everyone to grow and flourish.
**Curious? So are we.**:
- A (short) letter of motivation
- CV
- A transcript of your Bachelor's and Master's grades.
The goal of your letter of motivation should be to help us gauge your interest and motivation in pursuing research in sustainable networking. For instance, you may think to write about:
- A fresh idea for research you would be interested to work on (Or maybe you know some open problems in our area)
- How to improve or build upon one of our previous results
- Previous experiences in managing complex network environments/infrastructures
- Some awesome lectures you have attended in our area in which you have achieved excellent grades
- Anything else that you think might be worth knowing about you.
For recruitment services the GTC of ETH Zurich apply.
