Almende BV, Rotterdam, has a master-level internship in WSN, concerning distributed multi-modal sensor fusion, pattern recognition and machine learning. This internship includes the opportunity to investigate existing algorithms, adapting them so they fit the distributed and resource-constrained nature of WSN or creating your own algorithms. Additionally, there is the opportunity to implement the results on an operational WSN framework, and to test it in two use cases in the Dutch research projects ALwEN and STORM.

Almende is a research company in Rotterdam, focusing on self-organization in (hybrid) networks of things and people. Around 25 people are employed by Almende, both doing research in areas such as wireless sensor networks, robotics, multi-agent systems and social networks. Multiple students have done their master’s thesis or PhD research at Almende over the years.

Complete internship description available here (pdf ~100Kb). Also see their sensor related blog here.

The Harvard RoboBees project has postdoc openings in the areas of wireless sensor networks, embedded computing, swarm robotics, and biologically-inspired multiagent systems.

Check out the job posting here for more details.

A full-time post-doctoral research position is available for two (2) years in the project “Digital Djurpark” (Digital Zoo). This is a joint position between Digital Media Laboratory, Umeå University, Sweden and CSIRO Autonomous Systems Laboratory, Brisbane, Australia. The successful candidate will spend one year at CSIRO and one year at Umeå University.

The goal of the project “Digital Djurpark” is to make Lycksele zoo more attractive by increasing the interaction between the visitor and the animals. The approach is to develop a wireless sensor network covering the whole zoo. The network will consist of hundreds of wireless sensors, which are able to configure themselves into a working network. The sensors could be collecting data as video, pictures, sound, and temperature. The plan is to put sensors on some of the animals too. The sensed data will be processed and semantic information will be used to support interaction design.
