Doctoral Researcher – Integrated Circuits for Array Transceivers

The Electrical Engineering unit at the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences, Tampere University, invites applications for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Doctoral Candidate position in integrated circuits and signal processing for large-array transceivers in next-generation communication systems. The position is part of the EU-funded MSCA Doctoral Network ANCHOR. The successful candidate will contribute to advancing energy-efficient, high-performance communication systems for next-generation wireless infrastructures. The Doctoral Candidate will: Develop and validate signal processing concepts for efficient large-array systems Design energy-efficient hardware architectures for beamforming Perform system-level modelling and simulations (e.g., MATLAB or similar tools) Design, tape out, and experimentally characterize integrated circuit prototypes Disseminate results through leading international journals and conferences Develop research collaboration with DCs in the Tampere University, ANCHOR network The position includes secondments of 6 months at University College London (UCL) and 4 months at Altice Labs (Portugal), providing direct exposure to leading academic and industrial research environments. In addition to research duties, the candidate will complete all doctoral degree requirements at Tampere University, contribute to ANCHOR project deliverables, participate in network-wide training events, and actively disseminate results through scientific and professional channels. High-quality scientific publishing is expected throughout the project.
