In connection with a research project at the University of Edinburgh to<br>
establish a long-distance wireless backbone to connect community broadband<br>
networks on the West Coast of Scotland.<br>
<br>
We are looking for a computer scientist with some practical experience of<br>
computer networking, but who -- most importantly -- is prepared to<br>
learn on the job. We need someone who is prepared to<br>
<br>
(1) help design and implement a network that can co-exist with<br>
existing community networks,<br>
<br>
(2) help manage and organise the project,<br>
<br>
(3) climb up hills and cross the sea, sometimes in unpleasant<br>
weather to help with the physical installation of relays,<br>
<br>
(4) document the work and instruct local communities, and<br>
<br>
(5) enjoy the fantastic scenery and hospitality of the Scottish<br>
Highlands and Islands and get real pleasure from providing help<br>
to remote communities that are desperate for decent Internet.<br>
<br>
For some further information, <a href="http://seewww.tegola.org.uk" target="_blank">seewww.tegola.org.uk</a>. Please note that this<br>
position is not yet certain, but we hope to have a better idea by August<br>
2014 and need to start looking now. We are happy to consider part-time<br>
positions or combine with pro-bono support from industry.<br>
<br>
If you are interested please contact Peter Buneman by e-mail<br>
