hela Sverige Visa alla jobb hos Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB i Göteborg We offer a PhD position where you will be exposed to the development of future wireless networks, have the opportunity to contribute to large international projects, as well as projects with Swedish and Dutch industry. This position is a great opportunity for you to learn both the scientific knowledge and practical skills in key enabling technologies of digital transformation - the area of great importance for industry and society.
Background of the research project
Join the frontier of innovation in 6G: the future of mobile networks technology! A unique Dutch-driven alliance in collaboration with Ericsson and Chalmers, comprising 60 leading ICT businesses, mobile operators, semiconductor manufacturers and research institutions, have united to spearhead the development of specific aspects of 6G: Software antennas, AI-driven network software, and groundbreaking 6G applications. Join us as a PhD student in this prestigious Future Network Services (FNS) flagship project, where research and entrepreneurial pursuits converge.
This PhD project is among approximately 50 PhD positions in this 6G development team! You will benefit from training in 6G antenna and RF chip design, and get familiarized with other related fields such as 6G networks, AI, and software development. Furthermore, you will have access to a unique state-of-the-art testbeds to also put theory to practice and you will be at the forefront of the European 6G national ecosystem. We will also support and encourage entrepreneurial activities.
Information about the division and the department
At the Department of Electrical Engineering, we conduct internationally renowned research in biomedical engineering, antenna systems, signal processing, image analysis, automatic control, automation, mechatronics, and communication systems. We offer a dynamic and international research environment with about 200 employees from more than 20 countries, and with extensive national and international research collaborations with academia, industry and society. The department provides around 100 courses, of which most are included in the Master's Programs "Biomedical Engineering", "Systems, Control and Mechatronics", "Communication Engineering" and "Electrical Power Engineering".
Major responsibilities
In this position you will perform research on signal processing for emerging radar- and communication systems with many antennas (MIMO). The research is particularly oriented toward sampling and analogue-to-digital (A/D) conversion in the up-link in order to improve the energy efficiency of modern large scale antenna systems. The research takes place in the cross-section between signal processing and radio/mixed signal hardware.
Your research will include fundamental theoretical studies, numerical simulations, and measurements of a performance verification system to be developed in collaboration with senior researchers at Chalmers and Ericsson teams. You are expected to publish papers of high quality and collaborate with other PhD students and senior researchers in the team.
To maximize the success of your PhD project, you will visit other international partners, in particular, those involved in the FNS flagship project. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to about 10% percent of working hours.
