QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Appointment as postdoc requires academic qualifications at PhD level.

WHO WE ARE

The successful candidate will be hosted by the Connectivity group, which works on novel concepts for communication and networking in wireless systems. This includes emerging 6G technologies, but also more general problems in communication theory. The group’s research activities are organized in focused subgroups covering topics such as the interplay between AI/ML learning/inference and communications; low-latency and time-constrained communication; satellite and non-terrestrial networking; experimental works on open-radio access network (O-RAN); and quantum communications. The group features a dynamic and international working atmosphere and is located in Aalborg, an emerging peaceful city in the northern part of Denmark that tops quality-of-life charts. The successful candidate will enjoy a world-class research environment, excellent working and networking conditions, and full employment benefits accompanied by a competitive salary.

The candidate will be expected to conduct excellent research in the area of wireless communications for 6G and beyond under a high degree of independence. The work will be to produce high-impact results, disseminated through publications in top journals, conferences, and patent filings. The work will be centred around topics such as machine learning for communications, communication theory, signal processing for communications, coding theory, and information theory.
