Mittuniversitetet,

The Department of Information Systems and Techonology is situated at Campus Sundsvall. Its activities include research in the field of Computer and System science, mainly in the fields of the subjects Computer engineering and Industrial organization and economy.

The research center STC (Sensible Things that Communicate, www.miun.se/stc) announces one open postdoctoral position in the wide area of advanced 5G and 6G wireless communication technologies. STC is continuously seeking to hire highly motivated and outstanding researchers to work on enabling technologies for the next generation wireless communication networks.

The research will be conducted in the research group Communication Systems and Networking (CSN), which specializes in teaching, research and innovation within the domain of wireless and wired communication and network technologies. The group features a dynamic and international environment, aiming to produce high-level academic research while maintaining a tight interplay with relevant industrial partners. The candidate will actively collaborate with other researchers within the research group, STC research center, as well as with our external collaborators in academia and industry.

Job description:
The position is intended for talented researchers with the drive to push the knowledge frontiers in the area of advanced wireless networks towards 6G, with a special emphasis on one (or more) of the following areas: machine learning-aided wireless networks, spectrum management, decentralized learning, channel modeling and prediction, green (energy-efficient) communication and learning. The duties include theoretical analysis, algorithm design and implementation in SW/HW (SDR etc.) and active dissemination of the research findings via international conferences and high-quality journals is expected. The position may also involve teaching and other administrative duties such as support in project management and writing new research proposals to attract industrial, national and European projects, but not more than 20% of work time.

Requirements:
The eligible candidates are required to have a PhD degree in wireless communications, signal processing, or a closely related field in Electrical and Computer Engineering is required.
