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.
Research at the Division of Integrated Electronic Systems (IES) at the Department of Electrical and Information Technology (EIT) balances the system perspective with the circuit perspective. We design integrated circuits (ICs) in advanced nanometer silicon (foremost CMOS) technologies, e.g. radiofrequency and millimeter-wave radio frontends, data converters, digital signal processors, and larger systems containing both analog and digital functions. Our team includes professors, associate professors, researchers, and administrative staff, fostering a rich intellectual environment conducive of rewarding collaborations. We offer a supportive work environment, promoting an optimal professional growth via an adequate balance between work effort and personal time. New employees have the opportunity to engage in truly relevant research projects, educational initiatives, and industry collaborations, contributing to our overall mission of advancing the state-of-the-art in IC design.
IES has recently been enhanced by the establishment of the Research Center for Semiconductor System Design (classIC), funded by Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) and co-hosted by IES.

You will design analog-to-digital data converters (ADCs) in an advanced CMOS process, targeting a sampling rate of at least 2GS/s and a signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) of at least 60dB at the Nyquist (i.e., highest) conversion frequency. The goal is to meet the demands of ultra-wide-band 6G communications.An integral part of the project is the study, development, and deployment of digital techniques to enhance the SNDR of the ADC, an approach that has recently gained huge popularity.
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%).
Your work duties will also include supervision of undergraduate projects (including Master’s theses) and possibly supervision of younger doctoral students. As a doctoral student you are also going to travel to renown conferences to present your work to the widest possible audiences.
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 the student’s potential is based primarily on 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.

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.
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.).
