United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi

Description

The Communication Networks Lab at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), led by Yasir Zaki, invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Associate in Internet Measurement and Equitable Web Systems. Our lab develops measurement-driven approaches to understanding and improving the Internet and the Web. Our research spans Internet access and digital inequality, cellular and satellite connectivity, web performance and accessibility, network measurement, mobile systems, and technologies for connecting underserved populations. We are seeking an outstanding researcher who already has a demonstrated record of publishing rigorous work in leading networking, systems, web, or Internet-measurement venues. This is not an entry-level research-training position: the successful candidate will be expected to formulate research questions, lead projects, build and evaluate systems or measurement studies, publish in highly selective venues, and help mentor junior researchers.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will lead research in one or more areas such as:


	Large-scale Internet and Web measurements.
	LEO Satellites.
	Internet access and digital inequality in developing and underserved regions.
	Web performance, accessibility, and multilingual Web experiences.
	Mobile and networked systems.
	Measurement-driven design of more equitable Internet infrastructure.
	AI-assisted optimization of Web and network performance.
	Auditing the availability, quality, and affordability of global connectivity.


The candidate will have significant freedom to propose new directions that align with the lab’s broader goal of building a more accessible and equitable Internet.

Mandatory publication requirement

Applicants must have a strong peer-reviewed publication record in leading venues relevant to this position. Qualifying conferences include:


	ACM SIGCOMM
	ACM Internet Measurement Conference (IMC)
	ACM CoNEXT
	USENIX NSDI
	ACM MobiCom
	ACM MobiSys
	The Web Conference
	ACM SIGMETRICS.


At minimum, applicants must identify one qualifying paper in which they were the first or co-first author, or for which they can document an equivalent leading intellectual and technical contribution. A competitive applicant will normally have multiple strong research outputs appropriate to their career stage. Applications that do not demonstrate a publication record in at least one of the venues listed above will not be considered. General interest in networking, completed coursework, technical skills, unpublished projects, or publications only in unrelated venues do not satisfy this requirement. For collaborative publications, applicants must explain their personal contribution. Authorship by itself will not be treated as evidence of research leadership. 

Candidate requirements Applicants must:


	Hold a PhD—or have completed all PhD requirements before starting—in computer science, electrical or computer engineering, information science, or a closely related discipline. Less than 5 years post receiving the Doctoral degree.
	Meet the mandatory publication requirement above.
	Demonstrate the ability to define and complete original research
	Possess strong programming, experimental, and quantitative-analysis skills.
	Have experience designing reproducible systems or measurement studies.
	Communicate research clearly in writing and presentations
	Be able to lead projects while collaborating effectively with researchers from different backgrounds.
	Be committed to ethical and reproducible research. Relevant experience may include network measurement, mobile systems, browser instrumentation, distributed experimentation, statistical analysis, causal inference, large-scale data collection, active or passive measurements, or production-quality research software. 


Application Instructions

Application materials Applicants must submit:


	A cover letter
	A current CV and complete publication list;
	Two representative publications;
	A mandatory one-page evidence-based fit statement;
	Contact information for three academic or professional references. 


Required one-page fit statement

The statement must explain why the applicant is specifically qualified for the work of the Communication Networks Lab. It must include:


	Two or three concrete connections between the applicant’s prior research and specific work, methods, datasets, systems, or research questions pursued by our lab
	The applicant’s personal intellectual and technical contribution to the submitted publications
	 Concrete evidence of relevant expertise—for example, a measurement platform built, dataset collected, system implemented, experiment designed, methodology developed, or finding established
	One research question or project the applicant could realistically lead at NYUAD, including the proposed method and expected contribution. Statements that merely express enthusiasm for networking, connectivity, digital inclusion, or the lab’s topics—without concrete evidence from the applicant’s record—will be treated as nonresponsive, and the application will not be considered further.


References will be contacted only for shortlisted candidates.

Appointment Questions may be directed to Yasir Zaki at yasir.zaki@nyu.edu.

<p>We discuss why the <a data-mz="" data-module="podcast-body" data-position="body" href="/world-university-rankings/university-sussex">University of Sussex</a> has mounted a legal challenge against a £585,000 fine imposed by the Office for Students (OfS) for failing to uphold freedom of speech.</p>
<p>The case, being heard in the High Court in London this week, brings to the fore questions over academic freedom, institutional autonomy, trans rights and the role of the English regulator.</p>
<p>On this episode of News Talks <em>Times Higher Education</em> editor Chris Havergal talks to Miranda Prynne about the background to the case, the key points upon which Sussex is disputing the OfS findings and the broader implications for universities and the way they are regulated.</p>

Editor of Campus

Miranda Prynne

The Sussex policies are very much open to interpretation. In this case it appears that the applied interpretation was a problem itself too. Separately there appears to be a significant case of selective enforcement. Finally, just because Sussex was the one caught doesn't per se mean that it is invalid because others weren't.

pdvri...

There is no "fine line" to be walked on freedom of speech. 

Arguing that female spaces should be for females, and that merely claiming you are a female does not make you a female, are not contentious. 
They are contentious however "on campus" only because campuses, at 90%+ left/progressive, are not diverse and representative environments. That lack of diversity means fringe positions, unfettered by competing between narratives, become mainstream. 

THIS is why the sector needs a regulator. 
The lack of diversity in university culture creates exactly the situation where reasonable positions, such as Kathleen Stock held, are hounded out.
The entire ecosystem of HE, the THE included, is swimming in this downstream lack of diversity and fail to appreciate how out of touch we are with valid alternative opinion. 

The gender-critical opinion is a simple one: 
I, a male, cannot and should not be free to enter female spaces.  
That is not because I personally pose a risk to women. 
It is because a small, but disproportionate, number of males pose a risk to females.  
And as such, myself and all natal post-pubescent males, are rightly discriminated against - that we are discriminated against on account of a small subset of our group is irrelevant. 
The discrimination is justified. It applies to all of us, irrespective of how we identify, and apart from a few edge cases (of which trans itself isn't one) it applies to all - trans included.
