Job offers

You are welcome to ask on the job opportunities as post-doctoral researcher or Ph.D. studentships. The unsolicited queries can be sent directly to the professors and there are time-to-time positions, particularly Ph.D. studentships, that might be available for particularly talented applicants even if we have not advertised those. Usually the best time for starting are around September and February, meaning that applications should reach us at least a couple of months earlier.

PhD Student Researcher Position in 6G Networks

The Institute for Networked Systems at RWTH Aachen University has an opening for a PhD student researcher in 6G networks. The successful candidate will contribute research to the federally-funded 6GEM research hub, with a particular focus on intelligent radio resource management and novel MAC for resilient and adaptive 6G networks.

Interested candidates should meet the following criteria:

⁃ holding or expected to obtain a PhD degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering or related disciplines

⁃ strong background in wireless access technologies (Wi-Fi/LTE/5G), with focus on Layer 2+

⁃ solid programming/scripting skills (e.g. C/C++, Python, Matlab)

⁃ quick comprehension and excellent analytical skills

⁃ ability to pursue independent research as well as collaborate in a team

⁃ excellent written and communication skills in English

For Position 1, it is a strong plus if candidates have:

⁃ hands-on experience programming SDR/FPGA platforms

⁃ prior research work with wireless network testbeds and performing link-level measurements

⁃ research experience in millimeter-wave and MIMO systems

For Position 2, it is a strong plus if candidates have:

⁃ research experience in wireless network analysis and simulation, with focus on capacity/interference modelling and/or resource management

⁃ hands-on experience with wireless network simulators, e.g. ns-3

⁃ research experience in joint sensing/communication, situational awareness, radio environment maps (REM)

⁃ research experience in millimeter-wave beam management and MIMO systems 

Qualified candidates are invited to submit their applications to Prof. Marina Petrova via email (jobs@inets.rwth-aachen.de) by including:

⁃ CV,

⁃ transcripts of records,

⁃ a brief account of why you want to conduct research, your academic interests, and how they relate to your previous studies and future goals (max 2 pages).

⁃ contact of two Referees.

The positions are to be filled at the earliest possible date and are offered for a fixed term of two years, on a full-time basis with a salary corresponding to the pay grade EG 13 TV-L of the German public service salary scale.

Application deadline: 30/09/2023 (incoming applications will be continuously evaluated)
