Research Fellow A / B in Advanced Signal Processing for Future Communications Systems

The Institute for Communication Systems (ICS), home of the 5G and 6G Innovation Centre (5GIC/6GIC), is looking to recruit a Research Fellow in Advanced Signal Processing for Future Communications Systems. The successful candidate will be part of the Wireless Systems Lab group and will have the opportunity to work very closely with industrial partners as well as with academic partners all over the world.

The research will focus on the design, analysis and evaluation of advanced transceiver processing algorithms. Topics include MIMO, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), low-complexity non-linear detection, channel coding, and PHY design for non-terrestrial networks (NTN). The role combines theoretical analysis with simulation-based and, where appropriate, experimental validation.

The successful candidate will publish in leading journals and conferences, contribute to grant proposals and intellectual property, and help supervise PhD students.

ICS is the largest academic research institute in Europe specialising in all aspects of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). It is home to over 200 researchers with expertise in all communication and broadcasting systems and has developed best-in-class large-scale testbeds for research and innovation, enjoying state-of-the-art lab and computing facilities.

Established in 2012, 5GIC is the world's first dedicated centre researching end-to-end aspects of 5G, working closely with national and international leading academic institutes and key industrial partners. In November 2020, 6GIC was officially launched with parallel research undertaken in both 5G+ and 6G for 2030+.

These roles will be offered at either Research Fellow A or Research Fellow B level depending on experience. The salary range for a Research Fellow A starts at £38,448 and Research Fellow B starts at £48,337.
