The Wireless Sensor Applied Research (WiSAR) Lab is a developing national centre in wireless sensor network based at Letterkenny Institute of Technology (LYIT), Donegal, Ireland. The core research is in the field of wireless body area networks (WBAN). Funded by Enterprise Ireland and led by the CNRG research team at LYIT, the WiSAR Lab is becoming a centre of excellence in wireless sensor networks and our goal is to become the hub of research and applied wireless solutions for technology companies in the North West of Ireland.

To support this major research programme we wish to recruit a Centre Manager with extensive technical project management experience, preferably in an industrial and/or academic research environment. The Centre Manager will be responsible for the day to day management of the WiSAR Lab and will work closely with the Principal Investigators of the Lab to develop collaborative projects with industry and help define the applied research agenda. Ideally the Centre manager will have the capacity to consolidate and develop existing and new research, together with a proven record of success in the process of technology transfer and commercialisation of intellectual property. The successful candidate will also have experience in national and international research funding proposals.
