Overview
At the Department of Signals and Systems, we conduct world-leading research in biomedical engineering, antennas and signal processing, control, automation and mechatronics, and communication systems. Our research deals to a large extent with the modeling and development of efficient systems for extracting and processing information.
Division of Communication Systems and Information Theory
The research at the Division is focused on methods and algorithms for digital communication systems. We study systems such as the next generation wireless cellular communication systems, vehicular communication to enable certain important vehicular traffic safety applications, fibre-optic communication systems, and hardware-constrained communications. Our research is diverse in nature and includes fundamental and application-driven as well as disciplinary and multidisciplinary projects. We are heavily involved in the master program Communication Engineering. The Division employs about 25 persons, a number that will increase in the near future, as we have been successful in attracting research grants. Chalmers University of Technology is located in Gothenburg on the scenic west coast of Sweden. It is among the top research schools in Europe. The research environment is international and candidates of any nationality are welcome to apply.
Job description
The main research objective for the Ph.D. student position is to assess the impact of modeling errors, as well as intentional and unintentional misleading information in location-aware wireless networks. Based on this assessment, the Ph.D. student will then develop rigorous new methods to improve the robustness and fault-tolerance of distributed localization algorithms. Finally, these novel methods will be implemented in a wireless test-bed. Some additional information regarding the general topic is available at http://sites.google.com/site/hwymeers/
A Ph.D. student position is an appointment that offers the opportunity to obtain a Ph.D. degree. With a Ph.D. degree in this area, you will be in great demand from Swedish as well as international industry, and you will have a very good basis for further academic research as well. The position is for a period of maximum five years. Up to 20% of this time will be used for undergraduate teaching and other departmental work, and the remaining part is spent on completing the research and courses required for a Ph.D. degree. A monthly salary is paid. The position can commence in May 2011.
Required qualifications
You should have a Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Applied Math, or similar, and high grades in the core courses. You should have an interest in digital communications and wireless systems. A strong background in mathematics is required; knowledge of positioning and tracking is an advantage. Furthermore, an interest in interdisciplinary work with researchers and engineers from other fields is essential, as are skills in simulation techniques. You should be fluent in English, have good collaboration skills, and be able to communicate your results in writing and in presentations.
Application procedure
The application shall be written in English and include the following items:
1.An application of a maximum of one A4 page containing your specific qualifications for the position
2.Attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents
3.Curriculum Vitae
4.Letters of recommendation and name of reference persons (optional)
The application shall be sent electronically as pdf or zipped documents. Please use the button at the foot of the page to reach the application form.
If any material is not available electronically or cannot be transferred to pdf format, the material can be sent as a hard copy to Registrar. The applicants name and the reference number (2010/306) must be written on the first page of the application.
