ABOUT THE SNT…

The University of Luxembourg is seeking to hire a highly motivated and an outstanding researcher in the area of Experimental Test and Validation of 5G/6G Non-Terrestrial Networks and Satellite Communications for its Interdisciplinary Centre of Security and Trust (SnT), within the Signal Processing and Communications (SigCom) research group, led by Prof. Symeon Chatzinotas.
SnT carries out interdisciplinary research in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) systems and services, often in collaboration with governmental, industrial and international partners. SnT is active in several national projects funded by National Research Fund (FNR) and local industries, and international research projects funded by the EU FP7 program, H2020 program and the European Space Agency (ESA). For further information, you may check: www.securityandtrust.lu
The SigCom research group carries out research activities in the areas of signal processing for wireless communication systems including satellite communications and radar systems and is currently expanding its research activities in exploring several emerging use cases of next generation wireless communications systems. For details, you may refer to the following: https://wwwen.uni.lu/snt/research/sigcom
We’re looking for people driven by excellence, excited about innovation, and looking to make a difference. If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place!

The successful candidates are expected to perform the following tasks:

• Work on project-relevant subjects from the last and current Release of the 3GPP radio access and/or core network standards, implement the features in MATLAB and/or OpenAirInterface software for computer simulations, and conduct theoretical research to submit proposals to the ongoing study or work items, with a view towards patenting and possible inclusion into the future Releases.
• Perform research on future communications networks topics including, but not limited to:
• Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs)
• Multicast and Broadcast Services (MBSs)
• Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV), UA System (UAS) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM)
• Experimental emulators, prototypes, testbeds and distributed research infrastructure test platforms
• Set up real-world testing both in the laboratory using emulators and software defined radios (SDRs), and in the field using drones or satellites, to validate research or project outcomes
• Disseminating results through foremost scientific publications and conferences in their fields
• Contribute to the development of research proposals for attracting funding through industrial, national, and European projects on the topic
• Publish research findings in the prestigious peer-reviewed journals and present at relevant conferences
• Contribute to different research projects, either coordinating technical contribution and/or preparing project deliverables
• Eventually, help in the supervision of PhD students
