Job description

As PostDoc in Experimental propagation modelling for wireless communication and sensing, you will collaborate closely with researchers at Aalborg University as well as Nokia Bell Labs Research, also located in Aalborg. Besides conducting own research for publications and potential patenting, the job may include supervision of students, including PhD candidates, working within the same field of research.

The key target for the position is to ensure the link between real world radio propagation characteristics in relevant use cases and the modelling applied in simulations studies, based on an experimental approach combining empiri with state-of-the-art knowledge within the field.

The research includes but may not be limited to the following use-cases and topics:

• Short range In-Body and In-Car subnetworks   
• Sensing by communication systems (for drone detection or 6G use cases) 
• Characterisation of propagation in mm-Wave bands for 5G FR2 (Mobile and FWA)
• LPWA IoT channel characterisation for special use cases (e.g. underground)
• Time varying radio channel characterisation for NTN LEO satellite communication
• Drone, robotic and car communication
• Measurements for co-existence in 5G private networks

You may obtain further professional information from Associate Professor Troels B. Sørensen, email: [email protected].
