Denmark : PhD Stipend in massive array systems for 5G wireless networks At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Department of Electronic Systems a PhD stipend is available within the general study programme Wireless Communications. The stipend is open for appointment from August 15, 2014 or as soon as possible thereafter. Job description At the Faculties of Engineering, Science and Medicine, Department of Electronic Systems, a PhD stipend is available within the general study programme of Wireless Communications. The PhD scholarship is financed by the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation. The PhD researcher will work on the general topic of “massive array systems for 5G wireless networks”. Antenna arrays with a very large number of antennas offer the prospect of extremely high throughput that can match the expectations of 5G wireless systems. They have the potential to bring various benefits according to their domain of application. In the seminal work of Marzetta, massive MIMO is defined as a multi-user communication system between a base station containing a very large number of antennas and a small number of users. The role of the large number of antennas is to provide a large number of extra degrees of freedom that serve to average out channel fading or noise, decrease interference and finally provide very high system throughput and energy efficiency. The PhD study will include part or all of the following points (but is not limited to): - Channel measurements and experimental set-up - Channel characterization - Multi-antenna transceiver designs - CSI acquisition - Joint Phy/Mac designs Applicants with a profile falling outside the scope of the PhD topic will be considered as non–qualified. Applicants with a GPA smaller than 75% will be considered as non–qualified. The candidates are expected to be highly motivated and have a very strong mathematical background. They are expected to possess sufficient prerequisites in all or some of the following fields: wireless communications, signal processing, probability theory, channel characterization, antenna design. You may obtain further information concerning the scientific aspects of the position from Associate Professor Elisabeth de Carvalho, [email protected] . PhD stipends are allocated to individuals who hold a Masters 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 the Faculty 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: [email protected] , phone: +45 9940 9589. The faculty have a research school, The Doctoral School of Engineering and Science: phd.teknat.aau.dk and a Network for all PhD students: pau.aau.dk The application is only to be submitted online by using the Apply online button below. Agreement Appointment and salary as a PhD fellow are according to the Ministry of Finance Circular of March 26, 2012 on the Collective Agreement for Academics in Denmark, Appendix 5, regarding PhD fellows, and with the Ministry of Finance current circular on the employment structure at Danish Universities. Application Deadline : 6 August 2014
