Job description

This specific position focuses on using the communication/radar system/spectrum resources efficiently and effectively, to enable user-specific communications and scenario-specific human/environment sensing.

The goal of this position is to develop ISAC solutions of co-existing communication devices and modular, distributed mmWave frequency/phase-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW/PMCW) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar, to investigate how coms/radar devices can help each other, and to investigate the synchronization and interference.

The expected output of this position is formulation and signal processing techniques for distributed signal processing with limited computation resources and guidelines for coms-radar co-existence for ISAC

Requirements

We are looking for a highly motivated, enthusiastic and curiosity-driven researcher:
  • You have a master’s degree in electrical engineering: radio systems, telecommunication or radar, applied electromagnetics, signal processing, or other relevant field;
  • You are interested in radio waves/signal/system relevant hardware, software, modelling, simulations, and/or algorithms (signal/data AI or ML);
  • Self-sufficient but also collaborative, highly motivated and responsible, with interpersonal skills to work in an international team;
  • You are proficient in English;
  • Holding international publication is a plus;
  • Specific MSCA eligibility rules.

Conditions of employment

  • As a PhD candidate at UT, you will be appointed to a full-time position for four years, with a qualifier in the first year, within a very stimulating and exciting scientific environment;
  • The University offers a dynamic ecosystem with enthusiastic colleagues;
  • Your salary and associated conditions are in accordance with the collective labour agreement for Dutch universities (CAO-NU);
  • You will receive a gross monthly salary ranging from € 2.901,- (first year) to € 3.707,- (fourth year);
  • There are excellent benefits including a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%, and a solid pension scheme;
  • The flexibility to work (partially) from home;
  • A minimum of 232 leave hours in case of full-time employment based on a formal workweek of 38 hours. A fulltime employment in practice means 40 hours a week, therefore resulting in 96 extra leave hours on an annual basis.
  • Free access to sports facilities on campus
  • A family-friendly institution that offers parental leave (both paid and unpaid);
  • You will have a training programme as part of the Twente Graduate School where you and your supervisors will determine a plan for a suitable education and supervision;
  • We encourage a high degree of responsibility and independence while collaborating with close colleagues, researchers and other staff.
