Chalmers University of Technology is coordinating a project Optical Interconnects for Harsh Computing Environments, a 5-year project funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research. We have a position for a 1-year researcher to the project. This position is a great opportunity for you to apply your scientific and technical skills as part of a multidisciplinary team of leading researchers at the interface of applications and science in with great importance for industry and society.
We provide an intellectually stimulating, but also flexible and family-friendly environment. You will have great freedom regarding when, where, and how you will work. Our group is diverse and social, with members from many countries and backgrounds. We have an emphasis on collaboration and mutual support. The research activities you will be part of may have a high impact on both academia and industry.
Project description
You will be part of the Communication Systems Group at the Department of Electrical Engineering, which is known for its contributions to wireless and optical communication systems. The group has about 50 members from all over the world. The working language at Chalmers in English. Your role in the project is to lead the research activities on machine learning to adapt communication to the time-varying harsh environment (e.g., extreme temperature variations). For this you will work closely with researchers from embedded system and hardware design as well the researchers working the optical systems. There exist also opportunity to interact with the industry-partners involved in the project.
Major responsibilities
In this project, you will lead and perform cutting-edge research on machine learning for physical layer communication in time-varying and harsh environments. You are expected to publish high-quality high-impact papers, work with PhD students and other senior researchers in the team. In particular, you are expected to process experimental data and support experiment design, in order to validate your research. You will also gain knowledge in proposal writing and there are opportunities for teaching.
Qualifications
• PhD in electrical engineering or computer science
• Proven experience using machine learning platforms (e.g. PyTorch, Tensorflow)
• Ability to work in inter-disciplinary teams and to coordinate research activities
• Publications in IEEE Transactions or similar
• Good programming skills (Python)
• Excellent English skills (written and oral)
It is positive if you have the ability to supervise PhD students and attract funding, if you have experience in optical communications, and strong mathematical knowledge in signal processing, statistics, photonics, or communications.
Contract terms
This position is a full-time temporary employment for a maximum of 360 days. You will receive a competitive salary with social benefits and pension.
