Research Associate (Postdoc) position in Network Slicing for 6G NTN

at  Universit du Luxembourg

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg is a leading international research and innovation centre in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services.
We play an instrumental role in Europe by fueling innovation through research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talent. We look for researchers from diverse academic backgrounds to contribute to our projects in areas such as: Network Security, Information Assurance, Model-driven Security, Cloud Computing, Cryptography, Satellite Systems, Vehicular Networks, and ICT Services & Applications.

The successful candidate is expected to work on designing optimal network slicing strategies and develop SDN/NFV solutions for the non-terrestrial network automation. The design strategies will optimize the service function chain, flow management and virtual network embedding for 6G NTN. The ideal candidate should have knowledge and experience in some of the following topics:

• Strong background in Computer Networking technologies (ideally in SDN/NFV)
• Network and/or resource slicing, virtual network embedding
• Optimization and Machine learning/deep learning techniques
• Experience in open-source platforms and controllers (e.g., ONOS, Ryu, MiniNet, OpenSAND)
• Graph signal processing for wireless networks
• Development skills in MATLAB, python or C++ are required.
• Contribute to the national project FNR SDNSaT: Intelligent SDN Management and Routing in NGSO Satellites for Critical Services
• Carry out research in the defined areas
• Disseminate results through scientific publications in the top-tier venues
• Coordinating research projects and preparing project deliverables
• Preparing new research proposals to attract industrial, national and European projects
• Providing assistance in the supervision of PhD student
