August 2014

In a continuing effort to provide world-class resources to new and future generations of engineers, IEEE Young Professionals has introduced two new services – IEEE ResumeLab and IEEE Mentor Centre.

Now IEEE SPS has built a streamlined mechanism for employers to add a job announcement by simply filling in a simple job opportunity submission Web form at the related TC section pages.

To submit job announcements for a particular Technical Committee, the submission form can be found by visiting the page below and clicking on a particular TC. A link for the form can be found in the sidebar menu of the TC pages. Jobs can also be viewed from its individual TC pages or a combined listing that includes all TC jobs.

Requirements:
The successful candidate should have a PhD or equivalent experience in related field of science/engineering with specific experience with wireless embedded systems. You should good quantitative and analytical skills and a willingness to work in a collaborative working environment.

Duration of post: 3 year fixed term contract

Deadline for Applications: 6 August 2014
