ملخص الوظيفة
The Communication Networks Lab at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) led by Yasir Zaki invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Associate in Internet Measurement and Equitable Web Systems. Our lab develops measurement-driven approaches to understanding and improving the Internet and the Web. Our research spans Internet access and digital inequality cellular and satellite connectivity web performance and accessibility network measurement mobile systems and technologies for connecting underserved populations. We are seeking an outstanding researcher who already has a demonstrated record of publishing rigorous work in leading networking systems web or Internet-measurement venues. This is not an entry-level research-training position: the successful candidate will be expected to formulate research questions lead projects build and evaluate systems or measurement studies publish in highly selective venues and help mentor junior researchers.
**The successful candidate will lead research in one or more areas such as:**
* Large-scale Internet and Web measurements.
* LEO Satellites.
* Internet access and digital inequality in developing and underserved regions.
* Web performance accessibility and multilingual Web experiences.
* Mobile and networked systems.
* Measurement-driven design of more equitable Internet infrastructure.
* AI-assisted optimization of Web and network performance.
* Auditing the availability quality and affordability of global connectivity.
The candidate will have significant freedom to propose new directions that align with the labs broader goal of building a more accessible and equitable Internet.
**Mandatory publication requirement**
Applicants must have a strong peer-reviewed publication record in leading venues relevant to this position. Qualifying conferences include:
* ACM SIGCOMM
* ACM Internet Measurement Conference (IMC)
* ACM CoNEXT
* USENIX NSDI
* ACM MobiCom
* ACM MobiSys
* The Web Conference
* ACM SIGMETRICS.
At minimum applicants must identify one qualifying paper in which they were the first or co-first author or for which they can document an equivalent leading intellectual and technical contribution. A competitive applicant will normally have multiple strong research outputs appropriate to their career stage. Applications that do not demonstrate a publication record in at least one of the venues listed above will not be considered. General interest in networking completed coursework technical skills unpublished projects or publications only in unrelated venues do not satisfy this requirement. For collaborative publications applicants must explain their personal contribution. Authorship by itself will not be treated as evidence of research leadership.
**Candidate Requirements Applicants Must**
* Hold a PhDor have completed all PhD requirements before startingin computer science electrical or computer engineering information science or a closely related discipline. Less than 5 years post receiving the Doctoral degree.
* Meet the mandatory publication requirement above.
* Demonstrate the ability to define and complete original research
* Possess strong programming experimental and quantitative-analysis skills.
* Have experience designing reproducible systems or measurement studies.
* Communicate research clearly in writing and presentations
* Be able to lead projects while collaborating effectively with researchers from different backgrounds.
* Be committed to ethical and reproducible research. Relevant experience may include network measurement mobile systems browser instrumentation distributed experimentation statistical analysis causal inference large-scale data collection active or passive measurements or production-quality research software.
**Application Materials Applicants Must Submit**
* A cover letter
* A current CV and complete publication list;
* Two representative publications;
* A mandatory one-page evidence-based fit statement;
* Contact information for three academic or professional references.
**Required One-page Fit Statement**
The statement must explain why the applicant is specifically qualified for the work of the Communication Networks Lab. It must include:
* Two or three concrete connections between the applicants prior research and specific work methods datasets systems or research questions pursued by our lab
* The applicants personal intellectual and technical contribution to the submitted publications
* Concrete evidence of relevant expertisefor example a measurement platform built dataset collected system implemented experiment designed methodology developed or finding established
* One research question or project the applicant could realistically lead at NYUAD including the proposed method and expected contribution. Statements that merely express enthusiasm for networking connectivity digital inclusion or the labs topicswithout concrete evidence from the applicants recordwill be treated as nonresponsive and the application will not be considered further.
References will be contacted only for shortlisted candidates.
