Job description

We seek to appoint a PostDoc to take part in research and knowledge exchange in the research project with close collaboration with Nokia Bell Labs. 

With 5G NR currently being crystallized in the recent 3GPP specifications, research on further evolution of this radio technology has already started.

Beyond 5G networks will further enhance the current 5G NR capabilities towards the support of higher data rates, lower latencies and higher reliabilities. For example, beyond 5G radios may need to support fast closed loop control with cycle times down to 0.1 ms and wired-like reliability. Typical use cases are drive control in manufacturing, or intra-vehicle communication for engine and suspension control. 

This postdoc project focuses on the design of physical layer and medium access control enablers for the support of ultra-low latency and extreme reliability. In particular, frame structure, link adaptation, channel access and interference mitigation mechanisms have to be redesigned according to the new beyond 5G challenging objectives. Moreover, the usage of machine learning tools for interference mitigation is to be investigated.

Bands of interest for the design include both cm-wave (6 GHz and below) and mm-wave (28 GHz, 52.6 GHz, 60 GHz).

Active dissemination of the research findings via international conference and high-quality journal is expected. Further, the research is also intended to impact the next 3GPP NR Releases. 

The ideal candidate for the position is expected to be capable of conducting research in the above areas, and should combine strong analytical skills with a broad knowledge of wireless communications and related design challenges. Also, experience with Matlab and C++ is highly appreciated.

Job description

We seek to appoint a PostDoc to take part in research and knowledge exchange in the research project with close collaboration with Nokia Bell Labs.

The Post doc position will be with focus on radio resource management (RRM) research for 5G New Radio (NR) to further boost the performance and enable new use cases.

The post doc must have solid knowledge of radio access network (RAN) mechanism ranging from Layer-1 to Layer-3 is expected (i.e. incl. physical layer, medium access control, radio link control, packet data convergence protocol, and radio resource control).

Especially experience with packet scheduling, link adaptation, power control, beam management, dual connectivity, and interference mitigation is an advantage. Basic knowledge of Machine Learning is also an advantage.

The studies are expected to cover novel enhancements to enable highly demanding time sensitive communications and ultra-reliable low latency communication use cases with stricter latency and jitter constraints as supported today by 3GPP NR Rel-16. In terms of frequency bands, both below 6GHz and higher frequency bands (e.g. 28GHz) will be considered.

The objective is to conduct the research under highly realistic conditions in a multi-cell, multi-user setting with dynamic traffic, and hence advanced system-level simulations will be an important part of the work. The post doc candidate should expect to take part in contributing to development of advanced state-of-the-art system-level simulator, related testing, running simulations, and large output data statistical analysis. All of which will be conducted jointly with many other persons using same system-level simulator.

Part of the research will be contributed 3GPP NR standardization to ensure high impact via Nokia Bell Labs, including also active dissemination via writing of high-quality scientific papers for prestigious international conferences and Journals.

In the “Research Group on Sustainable Cities and Everyday Practices” at the Danish Building Research Institute (SBi), one or more PhD stipends are available within the general research program Planning and Development. SBi is part of the Faculty of Engineering and Science, AAU Copenhagen Campus. The stipend is open for appointment from 1 September 2019.

Job description

The massive local, regional and global challenges related to increasing levels of individual, car‐based transport in larger cities in Denmark and worldwide call for new knowledge on how to develop integrated, multi-modal and sustainable mobility solutions. This is the focus of a new project called SIMS, which aims at contributing to a sustainable mobility transition by exploring and developing new sustainable mobility solutions that are tailored to the everyday life of citizens. A specific focus is on integrating existing resource-efficient mobility solutions in cities, e.g. car and bike sharing, combined with social and physical measures to support the adoption of these new integrated and sustainable mobility solutions. SIMS involves explorative studies of existing mobility habits and practices as well as designing and trialing new solutions at specific neighborhoods in the Copenhagen area.

The PhD stipend will be an integrated part of the project and contribute to the development of new solutions to be trialed at the specific sites as well as to carry out empirical research on how these solutions are adopted by local residents and integrated into their everyday practices. Thus, in addition to more classical academic work, the PhD stipend should be open for also getting involved in creative design processes involving dialogue between project partners within the mobility area. The empirical approach of the PhD is based on qualitative methods and the theoretical approach is anchored within practice theory studies.

Candidates for the PhD stipend are expected to have a relevant social science education, e.g. within sociology, geography, urban planning, architecture, political science or anthropology. Competences in the performance of qualitative interviews (or similar qualitative methods, e.g. focus groups) are required as well as documented skills in Danish language at a proficient level. Knowledge on urban mobility, sustainable mobility or theories of practices is not a requirement, but candidates should have an interest in requiring competences within these fields during the PhD study. The SIMS project is financed by Innovation Fund Denmark and involves cooperation between 10 Danish partners from universities, municipalities/authorities, urban developers and companies offering mobility services. Find more information at the website www.sims.aau.dk (to be launched in the beginning of May 2019).

You may obtain further information from Senior Researcher Toke Haunstrup Christensen, Danish Building Research Institute, phone: +45 5142 7387, email: thc@sbi.aau.dk , concerning the scientific aspects of the stipend.

PhD stipends are allocated to individuals who hold a Master’s degree. PhD stipends are normally for a period of 3 years. It is a prerequisite for allocation of the stipend that the candidate will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Doctoral School of Engineering and Science in accordance with the regulations of Ministerial Order No. 1039 of August 27, 2013 on the PhD Programme at the Universities and Certain Higher Artistic Educational Institutions. According to the Ministerial Order, the progress of the PhD student shall be assessed every six months. It is a prerequisite for continuation of salary payment that the previous progress is approved at the time of the evaluation.

The qualifications of the applicant will be assessed by an assessment committee. On the basis of the recommendation of the assessment committee, the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Science will make a decision for allocating the stipend.

For further information about stipends and salary as well as practical issues concerning the application procedure contact Ms. Lisbeth Diinhoff, The Faculty of Engineering and Science, email: ld@adm.aau.dk,  phone: +45 9940 9589.
