One PhD studentships is available for work in the area of optical communications in support of 6G networks. This research will explore how optical access and metro networks can support next generation 6G services. More specifically, it will investigate novel transmission systems, mostly based on Radio-over-Fibre to support the higher capacity requirements, but over highly heterogeneous network architectures. A key investigation will be the coexistence of RoF signals across access and metro networks. Indeed, in order to provide ubiquitous, flexible access, at low cost (which is necessary to enable densification) the high-capacity RoF signals will need to be routed across a highly heterogeneous network, which could consist of standard PONs, enhanced mesh-PON architectures, filter-less node architectures and transparent integration with metro networks. The position will be based both in Trinity College Dublin and Dublin City University. The position will be under the direction of Prof.Marco Ruffini <Marco.Ruffini@tcd.ie> and Prof. Liam Barry

The School of Computer Science and Statistics is seeking to appoint an Assistant Professor in Computer Science (Software and Systems) on a two year, fixed-term contract. The purpose of the post is to assist with the development and delivery of a software engineering curriculum to meet the needs of the target learner cohort and identified stakeholders. The employment is not offered on an indefinite duration basis as this employment is for the purpose stated above. If the sustainability of the programme is viable beyond the term of the contract, any resulting post will be filled by open competition. Applications are encouraged from candidates working in the area of, but not limited to, software engineering (formal methods, model-driven software engineering, empirical software engineering, automated software engineering, software analysis, configuration and optimization, design-space exploration) with a genuine commitment to the role of teaching software engineering at undergraduate and postgraduate. Candidates wishing to discuss the post informally and in confidence should email Professor Inmaculada Arnedillo-Sánchez HCI Project Lead: Macu.Arnedillo@tcd.ie and/or Professor Gregory O’Hare, Head of School of Computer Science & Statistics: Gregory.OHare@tcd.ie Apply on-line at Jobs at Trinity.

We are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on Machine Learning for Personalized Mobility as a Service, within CONNECT - the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Future Networks and Communications in collaboration with the E3 Kinsella SUMMIT (SUstainable MobIlity Models for a Just Transition) initiative. This project will investigate the development of a Mobility-as-a-Service platform to support the delivery of integrated and personalized mobility services at campus scale. The platform will support personalized on-demand travel with interfaces to transport providers, to support service delivery and provisioning, on one side and to individual users on the other side to offer journey planning and booking services. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to integrating and catalysing existing and new activity in this area into a larger initiative, including developing relationships with diverse stakeholders and preparing further research funding proposals. The position will be based in the CONNECT research centre at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. The researcher will also be part of the School of Computer Science and Statistics in TCD. The position will be under the direction of Dr. Mélanie Bouroche. For informal inquiries please contact Melanie.Bouroche@tcd.ie. Candidates should submit a cover letter together with a full CV and contact details of 2 referees, via email to: Melanie.Bouroche@tcd.ie. The closing date for applications is December 16th 2022. Late applications will be considered if the post remains unfilled.

We are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to investigate the use of deep reinforcement learning (RL) and swarm intelligence techniques to optimize travel-time reliability in the presence of autonomous and conventional vehicles within the ClearWay project funded by Science Foundation Ireland from 2022-2026. The successful candidate is expected to engage in co-supervision of ClearWay PhD students, co- supervision of related undergraduate and MSc dissertation projects, ClearWay industry collaborations, the organization of the ClearWay intelligent mobility hackatons and other public engagement activities, and contribute to preparation of Horizon Europe proposals. The position will be based in the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland under the direction of Prof. Vinny Cahill and Prof. Ivana Dusparic. For informal inquiries please contact {vinny.cahill, ivana.dusparic}@tcd.ie. Application Procedure: Please send applications by email to vinny.cahill@tcd.ie and ivana.dusparic@tcd.ie quoting “ClearWay Fellowship” in the subject line and including a cover letter, curriculum vitae (giving full details of qualifications and experience, including transcripts of degrees, a description of your contribution to relevant project work, identification of your three most-significant publications relevant to the ClearWay project, and the names of two referees) and 1-2 page research proposal, in PDF format. The closing date for applications is December 16th 2022. Late applications will be considered if the post remains unfilled.

Ph.D. Studentships in Reinforcement Learning and Swarm Intelligence for Coordination of Autonomous Vehicles. Applications are invited for a number of funded four-year Ph.D. studentships investigating the use of deep reinforcement learning (RL) and Swarm Intelligence techniques to optimize travel-time reliability in the presence of autonomous and conventional vehicles within the ClearWay project funded by Science Foundation Ireland. The successful candidates will be supervised by Prof. Vinny Cahill and Prof. Ivana Dusparic. They will join the ClearWay team consisting of 4 PhD students and 2 postdoctoral researchers, as well as a wider team of ~10 PhD students working with Profs Cahill and Dusparic in the areas of RL and intelligent mobility. Furthermore, PhD students will have an opportunity to engage in ClearWay industry collaborations and intelligent mobility hackatons. Please send applications by email to vinny.cahill@tcd.ie and Ivana.Dusparic@tcd.ie quoting “ClearWay Studentship” in the subject line and including a curriculum vitae (giving full details of qualifications and experience, including transcripts of degrees, a description of your contribution to relevant project work, and the names of two referees) along with a 1-2-page research proposal, both in PDF format.
