The Center for Research Computing (CRC), a unit within Notre Dame Research (NDR) seeks a scientist to pursue a research and development portfolio focused on the development of cyberinfrastructure and modeling software in line with the related requirements for radio spectrum coexistence and monitoring. It is expected that sensor, software and systems prototypes will demonstrate capability and be designed for future transition into production environments. The scientist will also be an active participant and regular voice in communities of practice focused on the same. This position utilizes a wide variety of electrical engineering, computer science and systems engineering skills in order to meet a broad range of domain specific (remote sensing, astronomy, physics, ecology etc..) research collaborators systems requirements and operations. This professor will work with multidisciplinary teams of engineers, applied mathematicians, computer scientists, domain scientists and community/commercial partners. The applicant will have primary faculty status in the CRC as well as appointment in the ND Wireless Institute (NDWI). Applicants seeking to maintain a research program in additional specific departments may be able to negotiate a concurrent appointment in those academic units. This individual must actively contribute to community knowledge through peer reviewed publications and conference presentations. This hire is intended to help grow and provide strategic direction to the Centers interdisciplinary research involving cyberinfrastructure with a specific focused application of radio systems development and modeling. The Responsibilities Include

• Work toward enabling researcher and practitioner collaboration to accelerate wireless prototypes and models for use and adoption by industry, government, NGOs and peer academic partners.
• Conduct applied research related to current technology trends and emerging technologies. This includes but is not limited to leading peer reviewed publications and conference presentations.
• Develop successful grant proposals to support major activities of the CRC in the domain of radio systems and cyberinfrastructure, in collaboration with CRC, ND WI, ND and external faculty.
• Engage, organize, and collaborate with NDs CRC, OIT and NDR leadership and stakeholders in the operation of cyberinfrastructure in line with spectrum regulations and cybersecurity best practices.
• Collaborate with national wireless cyberinfrastructure efforts, such as, but not limited to NSF Spectrum X, NTIA Institute for Telecommunication Sciences DoE Idaho National Lab , and US DoD initiatives as relates to wireless research at Notre Dame.
• Mentor undergraduate and graduate students researching scientific cyberinfrastructure.

Qualifications Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential for effective research collaboration. The position will focus on developing a scientific cyberinfrastructure research portfolio requiring the ability to apply the following skills and technologies. The strongest candidates will have deep expertise in wireless system infrastructure and modeling of that infrastructure with an established track record of collaborating with domain experts for specific computational requirements.

• Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or closely related field with demonstrable research experience at the intersection of cyberinfrastructure and wireless spectrum technologies. 2. Proven record of peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations in wireless systems research, spectrum modeling, or scientific cyberinfrastructure development.
• Demonstrated experience in developing research software and prototypes for wireless applications, including sensor networks, software-defined radios, spectrum monitoring systems, or large-scale interference analysis simulations.
• Strong programming skills with proficiency in languages commonly used for scientific computing and cyberinfrastructure development (e.g., Python, C++, MATLAB), and experience with HPC. 5. Expertise in wireless spectrum modeling and simulation, including propagation models, interference analysis, and spectrum sharing techniques across terrestrial and satellite systems. 6. Demonstrated success in grant writing and securing external funding from federal agencies (NSF, DoE, NTIA, DoD) or industry partners for research projects.
• Track record of successful collaboration with multidisciplinary teams including engineers, computer scientists, domain scientists, and industry or government partners.
• Knowledge of radio spectrum regulations and policies, including frequency allocation, licensing frameworks, and international coordination of spectrum resources.
• Experience in mentoring undergraduate and/or graduate students in research projects related to wireless systems and/or computational science.
• Excellent project management and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex concepts to diverse audiences and lead technical development teams across disciplinary boundaries.
