Description
A Ph.D. position in Computer Science is available within the Distributed Systems and Communications (DISCO) Group at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Karlstad University. Solutions for improving latency, both at the transport and the network layers of the protocol stack, constitute a key research area within DISCO and the candidate is expected to work in this domain. A close interaction with activities within the EU FP7 project RITE (Reducing Internet Transport Latency) and the nationally funded project READY (Research Environment for Advancing Low Latency Internet) is expected.

Eligibility
Eligible for this position are candidates with a University degree of 240 ECTS, from which at least 60 ECTS were awarded for courses at advanced level and have a Master's degree or the Swedish Magister or Civilingenjör Degrees in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, or equivalent. Qualified are also those candidates who have achieved corresponding degrees or knowledge in Sweden or abroad. Good oral and written communication skills in English are required.

Knowledge or experience in some of the areas of transport protocol design, congestion control, queue management and interactive applications is an advantage. Experience with tools for testing and evaluation of communication protocols and good programming skills is a benefit.

Terms
The position is limited to 4 years, but can be prolonged for up to one more year, if the PhD student also takes over other research, teaching or administrative tasks besides her/his PhD research. Those tasks should not exceed 20% of the time of a full-time position. The earliest date for filling the position is the 1st October 2013.
