Description

We wish to recruit a Research Associate / Senior Research Associates in the Department of Engineering, to work on the EPSRC programme grant "Transforming networks - building an intelligent optical infrastructure (TRANSNET)".

Optical networks underpin the global digital communications infrastructure, and the next-generation digital infrastructure needs more than raw capacity.

The aim of TRANSNET is to create an adaptive intelligent optical network that is able to dynamically provide capacity where and when it is needed.

It is envisaged that machine learning (ML) will become ubiquitous in future optical networks, at all levels of design and operation, from digital coding, equalisation and impairment mitigation, through to monitoring, fault prediction and identification, and signal restoration, traffic pattern prediction and resource planning.

The post holder will be located in West Cambridge Cambridgeshire, UK.


The key responsibilities and duties are research into intelligent optical networking through the use of machine learning, liaising with project partners and the mentoring of research students.


Appointment at Senior Research Associate level is dependent on significant experience as a postdoctoral research associate or equivalent, with proven impact from authored publications.


Salary Ranges:

Research Associate:
£36,024 - £44,263

Senior Research Associate:
£45,585 - £57,696

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 12 months in the first instance.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
