ACADEMIC POSITIONS AVAILABLE AT IŞIK UNIVERSITY

Işık University Faculty of Engineering, as part of its quest to establish a leading research program and to achieve excellence in teaching is looking to expand its faculty to add more depth and variety in its existing programs in its 25th anniversary of foundation. Multiple positions are available to be filled within the next year, with the aim of recruiting world class researchers and educators.

Candidates in electrical and electronics engineering and computer engineering, specializing on wireless networks, 5G/6G and beyond, communication and information theory, analog and mixed signal circuit design, smart-grids, computer networks, edge computing, data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning and related fields are particularly encouraged to apply.

Prospective candidates must hold a PhD in fields related to the position to which they are applying, and demonstrate a solid track record, in terms of international publications in high-ranking journals in their fields; as well as experience or potential of leading national and international funded research projects. Successful candidates are expected to contribute to the graduate and undergraduate programs, in their prospective department, through innovative teaching methods. The candidates must be eligible to teach in English language. Candidates with international academic experience will be preferred

We are looking for highly-motivated MSc or PhD students with strong technical and coding background (preferably in Matlab and Python) and an interest in network coding, wireless sensor networks, device-to-device communications, protocol design for 5G cellular systems, distributed storage systems and algorithm design to work in our competitive research group. We expect to found fundamental limits on repair bandwidth and storage in cellular systems with maintenance where base stations are used to help the process. We are also planning to find methods, protocols and error correction codes that achieve these bounds. You will be part of a friendly group of five people currently working for the project. Candidates with the following backgrounds are more than welcome to apply: Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Mathematics. Familiarity with information and coding theory is a huge plus. The project has secured a combination of local and international funding. The scholarship includes monthly stipend and few bonuses Interested candidates should contact me by sending an email to [email protected] with a CV and a cover letter.

There is one graduate student opening for a TUBITAK supported Project entitled “Development and testing of concurrent algorithms to solve mixed integer linear programming problems in distributed memory systems”. We are going to solve MILPs by running heuristics and cutting plane algorithms concurrently in distributed memory systems. The team includes Industrial engineering and Computer engineering faculty members. We are looking for graduate students (Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operation Research) who have ability to code heuristics and/or cutting plane algorithms for MILPs and who have (or want to gain) experience on MILPs, and distributed memory systems. Faculty members have hands-on experience with the project internals as well as implementation. This might be a great opportunity for students to learn from them as well. Interested candidates should contact me by sending an email to [email protected] with a CV and a cover letter.
