Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top universities. The University has around 47 000 students and more than 8 800 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.
Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.
The Department of Electrical and Information Technology conducts high-quality research in a variety of areas in Electrical Engineering, ranging from pure theoretical research to applied projects in close collaboration with industry. The department consists of about 100 active researchers, divided into four main divisions: Communications Engineering, Electromagnetics and Nanoelectronics, Integrated electronic systems and Secure and Networked Systems.
The position is associated to the Division of Communications Engineering. The research carried out at this division focuses on next generation wireless systems, from theory to practice. You will be participating in the SSF CHI project “Large Intelligent Surfaces – Architecture and Hardware” which is linked to the Division.
Large Intelligent Surface (LIS) is a candidate technology for 6G which extends the concept of Massive MIMO by densely packing antennas throughout whole surfaces. Practical implementations LIS may consist of distributed panels which should be jointly coordinated. Due to the large number of antennas/panels, developing algorithms to suitably process the data to/from all these antennas/panels becomes crucial. You will work in the area of algorithmic research and development for decentralized processing within this context.
The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their research studies which includes participating in research projects and third cycle courses. The work duties will also include teaching and other departmental duties (no more than 20%).
You will design and implement decentralized processing algorithms for large multi-antenna systems, some of which will be tested in our 6G testbed. You will also contribute to the design of the 6G testbed by identifying trade-offs, requirements and limitations from the algorithmic perspective. The research outputs will be disseminated through publication in high impact journals, as well as through participation in international conferences.
A person meets the general admission requirements for third-cycle courses and study programmes if the applicant:
A person meets the specific admission requirements for third cycle studies in Electrical Engineering if the applicant has:
Additional requirements:
Selection for third-cycle studies is based on the student’s potential to profit from such studies. The assessment of potential is made primarily on the basis of academic results from the first and second cycle. Special attention is paid to the following:
Other assessment criteria:
Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant, through experience and skills, is deemed to have the abilities necessary for successfully completing the third cycle programme.
Lund University is a public authority which means that employees get particular benefits, generous annual leave and an advantageous occupational pension scheme. Read more on the University website about being a Lund University employee Work at Lund University.
Only those admitted to third cycle studies may be appointed to a doctoral studentship. Third cycle studies at LTH consist of full-time studies for 4 years. A doctoral studentship is a fixed-term employment of a maximum of 5 years (including 20% departmental duties). Doctoral studentships are regulated in the Higher Education Ordinance (1993:100), chapter 5, 1-7 §§. The start date is as soon as possible according to agreement but no later than December 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.
Applications shall be written in English and include a cover letter stating the reasons why you are interested in the position and in what way the research project corresponds to your interests and educational background. The application must also contain a CV, degree certificate or equivalent, and other documents you wish to be considered (grade transcripts, contact information for your references, letters of recommendation, etc.).
Welcome to apply!
