Offer Description

This position will expose you to the state of the art in machine learning for distributed radio localization and sensing for various applications, and allow you to collaborate with world-leading industry actors. You will gain practical knowledge of the real-life operation of sensing and localization systems and insight into the running of large and ambitious research projects. You will thus have access to a unique network of potential partners and collaborators, which will allow you to create a high impact in your research activities.

Information about the division and the department
You will be part of the Communication Systems group  (CS) at Chalmers, which comprises 9 professors and a large number of PhD students and postdocs. The CS group is internationally known for its academic research in wireless systems, fiber-optical communications, coding, information theory, and machine learning.  CS is part of the Department of Electrical Engineering , where we value all our co-workers and know that various personalities and experiences make the most creative workplaces. We therefore encourage applicants with any gender, background, and abilities. Our overall ambition is to contribute to a sustainable future. We aim to create a positive impact on the development of society, both environmentally, socially and economically. The department is a dynamic and international work environment with about 200 employees from more than 20 countries. The project is part of the SSF SAICOM project.

Major responsibilities
Your main activities will include (i) interacting with industry (generating results, presentations, reporting, deliverables), (ii) performing hands-on research and leading papers, (iii) help supervising PhD students, (iv) coordinating research tasks, (v) support management activities, (vi) applying for grants in collaboration with associated faculty.

Qualifications
A PhD in electrical engineering, with a specialization in radio localization, radar, sensing, or signal processing. Strong mathematical skills, especially in terms of optimization and algorithm development. Extensive experience in radar signal processing, optimization, radio localization, and physical layer wireless communication. Experience with machine learning and deep learning frameworks is a plus.

Publication track record with IEEE transaction papers. Outstanding communication skills and fluency in English are essential (both written and oral). Candidates must be creative, and analytical, and have the ability to initiate new research collaborations, work in teams, and present their ideas and results to researchers with different backgrounds. Experience in international collaboration, innovation, and utilization are also meritorious.

To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service*.

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.

* The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree.

Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
