• Conduct theoretical research on physical and MAC-layer problems using MIMO theory, array signal processing, optimisation, and machine learning.
• Publish in top-tier IEEE journals and conferences.
• Participate in testbed experiments and collaborate with telecom industry partners as opportunities arise.

Requirements

• Doctoral degree (or equivalent foreign degree) in electrical engineering, communications, signal processing, or a related discipline, by the employment decision date.
• At least three publications in top-tier journals in the field.
• Fluent English, oral and written.

Nice to have

• PhD completed within the last three years.
• MIMO communications research record with first-author papers in top venues.
• Experience with machine learning, signal processing, or numerical optimisation.
• Demonstrated ability to work both independently and within a research group.
