About Christopher Newport University

Basic information and contact details for Christopher Newport University

Christopher Newport University is a liberal arts college located in the town of Newport News, Virginia, and the Chesapeake bay area town is known for its ship-making industry and numerous military facilities. The university itself is named for the English seaman who was an original founder of the Jamestown colony. Founded in 1960, it is one of the most recently established higher learning institutions in the tristate area.

Undergraduate programmes at CNU are offered across liberal arts, sciences and business. In its regional location as the birthplace of the modern United States students may be tempted to take the American Studies course, which offers concentrations in the Humanities, Constitutional Studies and Social Science.

CNU also offers three highly regarded graduate programmes; an MS in applied physics with computer science, an MS in environmental science, and an MA in teaching. In the past students on the physics and computer science programme have been given the opportunity to be part of funded research at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, and the NASA Langley Research Centre.

The CNU Trible Library has gone under an expansion process in recent years, and its services are now also associated with the Virginia-wide Virtual Library, and Tidewater Consortium for reciprocal direct borrowing between institutions. Also based at Trible is the Maritime Museum Library, which houses the largest collection of maritime history in the Western world, containing over 1.75 million items from manuscripts to vessel blueprints.

Among those to have attended CNU are creator of the webcomic łæ°ìłŠ»ćÌęRandall Munroe, cartoonist Colleen Doran, professional e-sports gamer William ‘Meteos’ Hartman, and software developer Sam Ruby.

The Role We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Research Fellow to join an exciting industry-funded applied research project within the Infocomm Technology cluster at SIT. This project addresses the critical challenge of enabling ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) with priority-aware offloading for public safety services. The successful candidate will be responsible for the end-to-end investigation of novel edge-assisted computation offloading strategies that leverages edge intelligence. The role will bridge rigorous theoretical work with hands-on offloading algorithm design and development. The core responsibility is to build and validate these offloading strategies, complete with Python application programming interfaces (APIs), through rigorous simulations and proof-of-concept (PoC) trials. This position is ideal for a researcher with a passion for solving complex problems at the intersection of wireless communications, edge computing, and machine learning, and who is eager to translate theoretical insights into practical systems. Key Responsibilities Derive and analyse closed-form mathematical expressions for latency and offloading probabilities across edge-only, cloud-only, and edge-cloud computation offloading algorithms. Design and develop robust Python APIs for edge-only, cloud-only, and edge-cloud computation offloading algorithms. Set up network testbeds integrating hardware, software, and communication protocols to validate edge-only, cloud-only, and edge-cloud computation offloading algorithms. Conduct rigorous simulations and live PoC trials to ensure computation offloading algorithms meets URLLC targets for public safety services. Participate in and manage the research project with Principal Investigator (PI) to ensure all project deliverables are met. Job Requirements A Ph.D./Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Communications Engineering, Computer Science, or a highly related discipline. A strong theoretical foundation and research background in wireless communications and edge computing. Strong publication track record in top-tier conferences and journals in the areas of wireless communications, IoT, or edge computing. Demonstrated proficiency in software API and algorithm development of edge intelligence algorithms using Python. Knowledge of machine learning or reinforcement learning techniques is highly advantageous. Experience with theoretical wireless network modelling, particularly stochastic geometry or queuing theory, is highly advantageous.
