Arbetsbeskrivning

Join us as a postdoc at the Microwave Electronics Laboratory to solve one of the toughest challenges in modern RF design: eliminating self-interference to enable true In-Band Full-Duplex for MIMO systems!   About us  The Microwave Electronics Laboratory (MEL) is one of the largest divisions at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience. At MEL we are more than 40 people performing world-class research on high speed electronic components, circuits, and systems for a wide range of communication, industrial, and remote sensing applications in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 500 GHz and beyond. Our facilities include a uniquely well-equipped laboratory for advanced microwave, millimeter wave, and sub-terahertz measurements. About the research project   In-band full-duplex (IBFD) enables simultaneous transmission and reception on the same frequency band. While this promises major gains in spectral efficiency and new application domains, it introduces one of the most challenging problems in RF design: cancelling or mitigating the strong self-interference caused by transmitter leakage into the co-located receiver. The challenge is even greater in modern systems using (massive) MIMO, which has so far limited the practical adoption of IBFD. In this postdoctoral project, you will investigate novel integrated microwave circuit architectures that address the front-end challenges of IBFD in MIMO systems. The research will focus on the 7–20 GHz frequency range and will involve both RFIC/CMOS and MMIC implementations. You will have access to state-of-the-art semiconductor technologies and world-class measurement facilities at the Kollberg Laboratory. You will be a key contributor to in a multi-disciplinary and international project where researchers with expertise in antennas, RF circuits, and digital signal processing collaborate towards co-optimized solutions that maximize full-duplex MIMO performance. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will also play a central role in driving the future research agenda, supervising PhD students, and contributing to high-impact scientific publications. Who we are looking for  • To qualify for the position, you must have a PhD degree in electrical engineering, engineering physics, or a related field. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made   • A strong background in RF/microwave engineering, analog/RFIC design, and/or MMIC design is required. • Demonstrated hands-on experience with circuit simulation and layout tools (e.g., Cadence, ADS, HFSS) and high-frequency measurements is highly meritorious. • A strong publication record in relevant areas is meritorious. • Proficiency in spoken and written English is required. We seek applicants who are enthusiastic, self-driven, and capable of independently pushing a research direction forward. Creativity, analytical ability, and strong problem-solving skills are valued. Given the collaborative nature of the project, excellent interpersonal and communication skills are essential. What you will do  • Conduct independent and collaborative research on integrated circuits for in-band full-duplex systems. • Lead and co-author scientific publications in high-impact journals and conferences. • Participate in joint project activities with academic and industrial partners. • Contribute to the supervision and mentoring of PhD and MSc students. • Participate in proposal writing and dissemination activities when relevant. • The position is meritorious for future roles in academia, industry, or the public sector.  Contract terms   The position is a temporary full-time employment for two years with the possibility of a one-year extension.  The position requires physical presence throughout the entire employment. A valid residence permit must be presented by the start date, otherwise the offer may be withdrawn.  What we offer  • As a postdoc at Chalmers, you are an employee and enjoy all employee benefits.
