Several Ph.D. Positions with a focus on 6G Wireless Communications

Are you interested in pushing the boundaries of 6G wireless communication and networking in one of the top engineering schools in Germany? As a part of an international team, you'll investigate new solutions for 6G systems. You'll have the chance to work across disciplines on the latest challenges of wireless systems in mmWave V2X communication or privacy-aware wireless sensing. Whether you have a theoretical background (optimization, machine learning, signal processing) or an experimental background (software-defined radios, RF engineering), you build upon your strengths in one of our 6G projects. Working across disciplines, our team has joint projects with top international research institutions and industry leaders in telecommunications, including Nokia, NEC, and NI. By joining our team, you benefit from a highly competitive salary (~EUR 45K gross), a state-of-the-art lab equipped with high-end SDRs, and a customized soft-skill training program, preparing you for your career beyond your Ph.D.

Required expertise:
We are looking for candidates with a background in at least one of the following domains in the context of wireless communications:
• RF engineering/software-defined radios
