Postdoctoral Fellow (PREP0004792)
Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
- Analyze packet traces from V2X devices to identify semantic interoperability failures.
- Develop software that parses SAE J2735 messages to assess the interoperability of V2X devices.
- Design test cases for different semantic interoperability failures and execute them to collect data from V2X hardware and network simulations.
- Support the development of ontology-based semantic models and semantic validation methods for V2X communication systems.
- Prepare technical reports, presentations, and datasets summarizing interoperability findings and semantic failure cases.
Qualifications
- D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field. Candidates with a Master’s degree and significant research experience may also be considered.
- Research background in wireless networks and distributed systems that includes experience using network protocol analyzers such as Wireshark to analyze packet data.
- Proficient with software development using C++, Python, or a similar programming language and collaborative workflows using version control such as Git.
- Familiarity with cellular communication technologies such as 4G LTE or 5G NR preferred.
- Strong oral and written communication skills.

Purpose: The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) hosts the Professional Research Experience Program (PREP) which is designed to provide valuable laboratory experience and financial assistance to undergraduates, post-bachelor’s degree holders, graduate students, master’s degree holders, postdocs, and faculty.
PREP is a 5-year cooperative agreement between NIST laboratories and participating PREP Universities to establish a collaborative research relationship between NIST and U.S. institutions of higher education in the following disciplines including (but may not be limited to) biochemistry, biological sciences, chemistry, computer science, engineering, electronics, materials science, mathematics, nanoscale science, neutron science, physical science, physics, and statistics. This collection of information is needed to facilitate administrative functions of the PREP Program.
Routine Uses: NIST will use the information collected to perform the requisite reviews of the applications to determine eligibility, and to meet programmatic requirements. Disclosure of this information is also subject to all the published routine uses as identified in the Privacy Act System of Records Notices: NIST-1: NIST Associates.
Disclosure: Furnishing this information is voluntary. When you submit the form, you are indicating your voluntary consent for NIST to use of the information you submit for the purpose stated.
