At the department, education is conducted in the subjects of computer engineering, electronics, electrical engineering and sound production. The research at the department takes place at the research center Sensible Things that Communicate (www.miun.se/stc ) and deals with sensor-based systems and services for use within the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence.
The research center STC (Sensible Things that Communicate, www.miun.se/stc ) announces one open postdoctoral position in experimental research in designing end-to-end connectivity infrastructure to support remote-controlled time-critical applications over 5G wireless networks. The research task is a part of the project robust wireless infrastructure for remote-controlled timber loading in collaboration with Ericsson, Telia, and Volvo. STC is continuously seeking to hire highly motivated and outstanding researchers to work on enabling technologies for the next generation wireless communication networks.
The research will be conducted in the research group Communication Systems and Networking (CSN), which specializes in teaching, research, and innovation within the domain of wireless and wired communication and network technologies. The group features a dynamic and international environment, aiming to produce high-level academic research while maintaining a tight interplay with relevant industrial partners. The candidate will actively collaborate with other researchers within the research group, STC research center, as well as with our external collaborators in academia and industry.
