Post-Doctoral Position in Optical Access Networks, Ireland

Overview

Post Title: Post-Doctoral Position in Optical Access Networks
Post Status: 12 month Fixed-term Contract
Department/Faculty: CTVR, School of Computer Science and Statistics
Location: Trinity College Dublin and Tyndall Institute Cork
Reports to: DAVID PAYNE
Closing Date: 31st October 2010
Salary Range: Points 1 to 8 Research Fellow (€37,750 – 46,255 per annum)

The work will focus on the implementation of a working protocol for Long Reach Passive Optical Networks (LR-PONs). The post will be funded by the CTVR project at Trinity College Dublin but will be based both in Dublin and at the Tyndall Institute in Cork.

The overall objective is to implement a fully working PON protocol for a long reach PON including forward error correction (FEC) and electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) operating within the burst mode protocol. An additional research topic will be the assignment and control, via the protocol, of wavelength tuneable devices to enable full operational wavelength flexibility over the LR-PON network. It is intended to implement the protocol in FPGA technology.

The protocol will be developed as an evolution of the ITU GPON protocol and knowledge of the basic principles of that protocol would be an advantage. The PON protocol will be operating at 10Gb/s and will require interface electronics between optical transmitter and receiver modules and the FPGA development boards, the high speed electronics will be designed by another team but some electronic design knowledge would be an advantage. As part of the protocol implementation there will be a requirement to implement (FEC) and electronic (EDC) functions and some knowledge of these techniques and a basic knowledge of common packet transport protocols such as Ethernet and TCP/IP would also be an advantage.


Essential Criteria

The successful candidate will have a PhD or equivalent post graduate experience in a relevant area as well as an interest, knowledge and experience (including published research papers) in the following areas:

- Experience in FPGA design
- Telecommunications systems and protocols
- Working knowledge of MAC protocols
- Experience in Verilog and VHDL
- Knowledge of the GPON protocol and its implementation will be considered an advantage
- CTVR is an ongoing project and is expected to continue beyond the duration of the post either based in Trinity College or the Tyndall Institute in Cork.

TO NOTE:

This position will be tenable from Nov 15th 2010

Applications must include:
- a letter of application detailing how you meet the selection criteria for the post, together with a
- Curriculum vitae and the name and contact details of two referees (email addresses if possible) to: payned@tcd.ie, marco.ruffini@cs.tcd.ie
