Documents required to be attached electronically with this application: Letter of Interest, Curriculum Vitae

Position summary: The DARPA Knowledge Enhanced Compressive Measurement (KECoM) project has the primary goals of 1) developing a mathematical framework for incorporating prior knowledge of tasks and observed signals into the design of compressive sensors, and 2) applying this framework to relevant sensing modalities. The UA anticipates a KECoM award to support investigation of information-theoretic techniques for sensor optimization under prior knowledge, as well as application to a compressive spread-spectrum receiver, a compressive radar transmitter/receiver, and a compressive spectral imager.

  • Two to three postdoctoral researchers will be hired for the DARPA KECoM effort
  • Occasional travel may be required
  • Original postdoctoral appointment is for one year with renewal possible for up to a total of three years
