ABOUT THE ROLE

Applications are invited for a Research Associate in Signal Processing for Communications
The research Associate will conduct original research in signal processing, optimization, and inverse problems with implications in communications. The opening is part of the EPSRC funded project across the UK on Future Communications Hub in All-Spectrum Connectivity.
The Research Associate will work on the foundational aspects of signal processing, in particular Unlimited Sensing (https://alumni.media.mit.edu/~ayush/usf.html) with applications tied to communication theory and methods including communication systems. Among other aspects, the key idea here is to exploit a co-design between hardware and algorithms to go beyond conventional barriers in digital data acquisition.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING

Key responsibilities include:

• To take initiatives in the planning of research
• To direct the work of small research teams
• To identify and develop suitable techniques and apparatus for the collection and analysis of data
• To conduct data analysis
• To ensure the validity and reliability of data at all times
• To maintain accurate and complete records of all findings
• To write reports for submission to research sponsors
• To present findings to colleagues and at conferences
• To submit publications to refereed journals
• To provide guidance to staff and studentsTo attend relevant workshops and conferences as necessary
• To develop contacts and research collaborations within the College and the wider community
