Research Scientist in Communication Systems & Networking

The successful candidate will join the Signal Processing & Satellite Communications research group (SIGCOM ), headed by Prof. Symeon Chatzinotas. The candidate is expected to assume a leading role in defining, acquiring, managing, and scientifically contributing to projects in the area of telecommunication systems. The candidate will carry a leading role in this area and support PhD candidates in their thesis research.

The group works across the entire spectrum of blue-sky research and applied research to conceive and demonstrate future communication paradigms. Researchers with an interest in terrestrial and non-terrestrial communication systems, will find a large and vibrant team of over 70 members fostering a collaborative atmosphere. SIGCOM’s state-of-the art facilities include 4 physical laboratories: the Software-Defined Networking Lab , the Communications Lab and the 5G Space Communication Lab – dedicated environments for researchers to test their results on advanced equipment, in addition to the SATCOM Lab of the Interdisciplinary Space Master . The group is also the recipient of numerous awards, such as the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) Group Technical Achievement Award, the IEEE Communications Society Distinguished Contributions to Satellite Communications Award, as well as 4 European Research Council grants.
