Industrial PhD position for Digital Twin-assisted Dynamic Spectrum Sharing

Om jobbet

Join our Team

About this opportunity:

We invite applications for an industrial PhD (iPhD) position at Ericsson Research in Gothenburg, Sweden, performed in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology. The position is a permanent employment with Ericsson. As an industrial PhD (iPhD) you will be employed by Ericsson while also enrolled in the doctoral programme in Electrical Engineering at Chalmers to carry out a research project leading to a doctoral degree. The doctoral studies typically take about 4-5 years. During this period you will work as an iPhD within the Chalmers doctoral school while remaining continuously employed by Ericsson. After successful completion of the doctorate you will continue working at Ericsson Research as a Researcher - your employment with Ericsson continues without interruption.

What you will do:

Ericsson Research develops and evaluates new concepts and standards for future mobile communications. This project explores using a Radio Digital Twin (RDT) to improve spectrum sensing and enable dynamic spectrum sharing for 6G and future networks. The RDT will model radio propagation and spectrum usage in a given area by combining integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) data from infrastructure and devices.

The goal is to develop methods that efficiently share spectrum while protecting incumbents such as satellites, LEO constellations, fixed links, automotive radar, and Earth observation stations, using techniques from signal processing, communications theory, optimization, and AI. You will join the Wireless Systems team at Chalmers, supervised academically and industrially. As an iPhD candidate you will typically spend around three years on independent research and approximately one year completing doctoral coursework, with teaching duties limited to about 10% of your time. Research outcomes are expected to be published in peer-reviewed venues, and successful completion of the doctoral degree leads to continuation as a researcher at Ericsson Research.

Practical work tasks include:

• Developing algorithms and models for dynamic spectrum sharing using RDT data
• Implementing and evaluating signal processing and communications theory methods
• Applying optimization techniques and machine learning/AI approaches
• Conducting simulations and experimental validations
• Collaborating with Ericsson and Chalmers researchers
• Publishing research findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals and conferences

The skills you bring:

Mandatory qualifications and skills:

• MSc degree (or equivalent) by the start date in a relevant field such as Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Communications or similar.
• Strong background in mathematical analysis (multivariable calculus, probability, linear systems, transforms, optimization).
• Programming and simulation experience (for example MATLAB, Python).
• Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
• Ability to work independently and in teams.
• Curious, motivated, persistent, creative, and collaborative.

Desirable qualifications:

• Knowledge of digital communications theory, signal processing for communications, information theory, and machine learning/AI.
• Experience with simulation techniques and high grades in relevant core courses.
• Familiarity with mobile, wireless transport, and satellite communication systems is advantageous.
