the German language is considered an advantage.
- Didactic qualifications for teaching courses.


*** Research team and working environment ***
The PhD and Postdoc positions will reinforce and extend the research 
activities of the "Low-power Embedded Networked Systems" (LENS) group at 
the Institute of Technical Informatics. The group has a long-standing 
track record in the area of networked embedded systems, and is one of 
the leading European groups on low-power wireless networking and IoT 
research.
The high quality of the research output is supported by several awards 
and by numerous conference papers at prestigious venues such as SenSys, 
IPSN, NDSS, ICDCS, INFOCOM, ICNP, EWSN, and RTSS. Group members have 
also chaired many of such leading conferences. The team's activities can 
be broadly characterized as "systems and application-driven research" at 
the intersection of wireless networking, embedded systems, and IoT 
applications. To get a better idea of the type of applied research
