Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan · Vollzeit

Brinellvägen 8, Stockholm, Schweden

We welcome applications for a postdoctoral position at the Division of Communication Systems at KTH. The position is linked to the major European research initiative RAI-6Green and the Swedish center SWE-WIN (Swedish Wireless Innovation Network), which aims to develop resilient, robust, and energy-efficient wireless networks that can support new services. The research focuses on resource management and orchestration as well as leveraging new technologies such as integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). These initiatives bring together leading academic, industrial, and public partners to develop innovative solutions for future communication systems and new sensing-based services. Duties The successful candidate will contribute to research on energy-efficient network design, optimization and orchestration across various network components, as well as to the development of sensing algorithms and ISAC solutions. The postdoctoral researcher will also play a central role in coordinating research activities within the group, leading joint activities in international projects, publishing research results in leading journals and conferences, and supervising master's students and co-supervising doctoral candidates. The research is conducted in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment, with close cooperation with major industry and research partners (e.g., Ericsson, Tele2, RISE, etc.) as well as other European companies and research centers. The position offers excellent opportunities for high-impact research publications, contributions to demonstrators and standardization activities, as well as professional development in both academia and industry.
