PhD Student in Radio Communications at Lund University, 2011 in Sweden

Type of employment: Limit of tenure, 4-5 years
Extent: 100 %
Location: Department of Electrical and Information Technology, Lund
First day of employment: As soon as possible
Official Records Number: LTHPA 2011/523

Job assignments

The PhD student will participate in the project "Distributed Antenna Systems", which is financed by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research. The focus of this PhD project is radio channel properties for distributed MIMO systems. The radio channel ultimately determines the possible performance of such systems and knowledge of its behavior is important for algorithm and system design. The work includes setup of a test site for distributed MIMO channel measurements, planning and performing measurements, and evaluation of the results form a system and channel perspective. Thus, the project includes both theoretical and more practical parts. Since this PhD student project is a part of a larger project it also means substantial interaction with other project participants working on theoretical aspects of distributed MIMO systems and on algorithms and hardware aspects. The position is full-time, and includes 15% department work, mainly teaching.

Eligibility/Entry Requirements

Master of Science degree in wireless communication, electrical engineering, computer engineering, engineering physics, or equivalent.

Basis of Assessment

The following criteria will be considered for evaluation of candidates: grades, self-dependent work (e.g., master thesis), main courses in the area wireless communication, as well as oral presentation at an interview. Previous work in related areas is of merit as well as good knowledge of English
