Furthermore, machine-learning algorithms may radically improve the design and the management of such networks.
The two selected candidates, who will be jointly supervised by Prof. Giuseppe Durisi and Assist. Prof. Christian Häger at the Department of Electrical Engineering, will be part of a large network of junior and senior researchers at Chalmers, Gothenburg University, and KTH performing state-of-the-art research in machine learning for/over wireless networks. Both PhD positions are funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) as part of the research project SAICOM. More information about the project can be found here.
After completing Ph.D. studies at Chalmers University of Technology, you will be in great demand from both Swedish and international industry. You will also have an excellent basis for further academic research. Candidates with any nationality are welcome to apply.
Information about the department
At the Department of Electrical Engineering (E2), we conduct internationally renowned research spanning many fields and including information and communication theory, machine learning, and signal processing. We offer a dynamic, international research environment with about 150 employees from more than 20 countries, and an extensive national and international collaboration networks that encompasses both other academic partners and industry.
Main responsibilities
Both PhD positions aim at developing novel wireless communication systems and protocols that can natively support future machine learning and AI services (for example distributed model training, federated learning, etc.). The first position will focus on aspects related to ultra-reliable low-latency communications and massive random access, whereas the second position will focus on end-to-end protocol learning using communication autoencoders.
You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and to communicate the results of your research (verbally and in writing) in major journals and conferences. The position includes also teaching at the undergraduate and M.Sc. level and other departmental duties of up to 20% full time (the employment contract is extended beyond the 4 years, accordingly).
Qualifications
To qualify as a PhD student, you must have a master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in a relevant field. You should have a strong background in mathematics, digital communications, and machine learning and high grades in the core courses within these three subjects. Knowledge of wireless communication and signal processing is meritorious. You should have obtained or be close to obtain a master's degree corresponding to at least 250 higher education credits in mathematics, electrical, engineering, computer science or related areas.
The ideal candidates for this position have a strong interest in pursuing theoretical research, are independent, curious, and creative, are able to present their ideas and findings effectively, and like to work in an international environment. Proficiency in written and spoken English is required.
Contract terms
The position of Ph.D. student at Chalmers University of Technology is a full-time temporary employment with a competitive monthly salary and full social benefits. The position is limited to a maximum of four years plus teaching and other departmental duties. There are no tuition fees for Ph.D. studies at Chalmers. The starting date is tentatively January 2023.
