Postdoc in Wireless network and Integrated sensing and communication Full-time

Postdoctoral Researcher in Wireless Network and Integrated Sensing and Communication

We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position in the Communication Systems Division at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The position is connected to the large European research initiative RAI-6Green and the Swedish Wireless Innovation Network center SWE-WIN, which aim to advance resilient, robust, and energy-efficient wireless networks capable of supporting emerging services. The research focuses on resource management and orchestration, while leveraging new technologies such as integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). These initiatives bring together leading academic, industrial, and public-sector partners to develop innovative solutions for future communication networks and sensing-enabled services.

Job Description

The successful candidate will contribute to research on energy-efficient network design, optimization, and orchestration across different network components, as well as to the development of sensing algorithms and ISAC solutions. The postdoctoral researcher will also play an active role in coordinating research activities within the group, leading collaborative tasks in national and international research projects, publishing results in leading journals and conferences, and supervising MSc students and co-supervising PhD students.

The research will be conducted in a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment, with close interaction with major industrial and research partners (e.g., Ericsson, Tele2, RISE,..) and other European companies and research institutions. The position offers excellent opportunities to conduct high-impact research, contribute to experimental demonstrators and standardization activities, and further develop a strong professional network across both academia and industry.

Qualifications

Requirements
