For the research staff and postdoc positions, systems training and/or experience in wireless, networks, and/or distributed systems are required. Qualifications in the following areas are strong plus:
   - Knowledge of operating systems, virtualization, systems and network security
   - Capability of building systems prototypes based on reference publications and/or open-source code base
   - Hands-on experience with SDN, VNF, cellular network platforms such as OpenAirInterface, M-CORD, and COMAC
   - Hands-on experiences in Linux system administration, OpenStack ecosystem, cluster management, virtual machines/containers, shell scripting
   - Programming skills: C, C++, Java, Python, Web
For the Ph.D. positions, relevant background in computer science, computer engineering, and/or electrical engineering are required, and experience in systems building, mathematical modeling, and research will be a plus.

Iowa State University (ISU) is a major research university, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at ISU has over 100 years of rich and distinguished history. (See https://web.iastate.edu/sites/de ... ocs/facts/facts.pdf and http://www.ece.iastate.edu/the-department/history/) For instance, individuals from the department have pioneered the world's first electronic digital computer, encoding process for fax machines, world's first portable phone, medical ultrasound technology, first handheld scientific calculator, and infant respiratory augmentor. As a 400+ acre development and having over 96 tenants employing over 2,250 people, the ISU Research Park (http://www.isupark.org/) hosts a vibrant startup community as well as R&D branches of major companies such as John Deere. In addition, many other established and start-up companies (e.g., Collins Aerospace, Emerson) are within 100 miles from ISU campus and are leaders in wireless communication and networking, AR/VR and control systems, and their applications in various domains. Being in one of the best college towns in USA which offers the convenience and energy of larger cities, students will also have a great life experience on campus in Ames, Iowa (http://www.thinkames.com; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ames,_Iowa).

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Prof. Hongwei Zhang (http://www.ece.iastate.edu/~hongwei/, hongwei@iastate.edu) and share with him relevant background information (e.g., education, transcripts, experience, and/or publications) and up to three references. Candidates will be considered until the positions are filled.
