The position allows access to fabrication in multiple semiconductor technologies provided by international partners inside and outside of WiTECH ranging from CMOS over BiCMOS to GaAs and GaN. The research is hosted at Chalmers but will be conducted in close contact to multiple industry experts in communications, sensing, semiconductor technology and metrology that are part of the SWEET project.
Project description
This ad is for a Ph.D. student researcher that will work in a complementary team that will work together to investigate different aspects of transceivers. Your responsibility will be to investigate multibranch receiver concepts that break the limitations of classical circuit approaches. The main research area will lie in the improvement of dynamic range without increased power consumption. Here you will perform research ideas combining multiple LNAs and ADCs, and combining the resulting digital stream in a smart way. The circuit design in the transmitter and receiver areas will be complemented by researchers in signal processing to investigate these topics in a holistic way for high-value academic publication and applicability in future generation communication systems.
Information about the division and the department
The position is hosted by the Microwave Electronics Laboratory at MC2 where the PhD student will have access to several commercial state-of-the art MMIC foundry processes and world-class measurement infrastructure allowing for a successful completion of this research project. At the Microwave Electronics laboratory currently 5 students pursue their Ph.D. in a similar area, which plenty of opportunity to collaborate and learn from and with peers.
Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities as PhD student is to pursue your own doctoral studies, including both coursework and research. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally at international conferences and in writing (publishing in highly ranked journals). In addition, the position will normally include 20% departmental work, mostly teaching duties.

Qualifications
To qualify as a PhD student, you must have a master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in Electrical Engineering, Communication Engineering, Engineering Physics, Computer Engineering or similar, with a strong background in electronic circuit design. Experience in the design of integrated and high-frequency circuits is meritorious.
Since communication of research results is a central part of the work, communicative skills in English (oral as well as in writing) are vital. Furthermore, it will also be expected that you can take on responsibility, take own initiatives and work independently when needed. At the same time it is important that you are good at working in teams. This is especially vital since the current project will interact closely with adjacent disciplines. Finally, you need to be able to disseminate results and knowledge within existing and new networks. This includes academia, industry and society at large.
Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.
