Information about the research
In this position you will perform research on radio hardware oriented signal processing for emerging medical- and communication systems with many antennas (MIMO). As a key member of a cross-disciplinary team your research will combine nonlinear hardware modeling and compensation algorithms with experimental real-world investigations using Chalmers advanced multi-antenna testbed. Your research is an important part of our goal to demonstrate improved quality and speed in microwave medical diagnostics as well as energy efficient and high capacity wireless communication systems.

Major responsibilities
A prioritized responsibility will be the continuous research and development using our MIMO testbed, including performing wireless communication and medical engineering research using the testbed. You will be involved in various MIMO experiments and multiple projects, with cross-disciplinary content over multiple divisions and departments. The common factor will be signal processing connected to MIMO.

You are expected to co-supervise a couple of PhD students, and involve yourself in teaching to some extent. You will be responsible for reporting and presenting the research results at project meetings.

Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry.

Position summary
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of two years (1+1).

Qualifications
Applicants should have, or expect to receive, a Doctoral degree or equivalent in a field related to signal processing, preferably on multiantenna signals. The degree should generally not be older than three years. In addition to the formal qualifications, selection is also based on the performance of the candidates in other works (e.g. thesis and advanced level courses), as well as through interviews. Besides good subject knowledge, emphasis will be on analytical ability, motivation, ability to cooperate, initiative to work independently.

Chalmers continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at Chalmers.
