Postdoc position in Signal Processing

Luleå University of Technology experiences rapid growth with world-leading expertise within several research areas. Our scientific and artistic research and education are conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, the public sector and leading universities. Luleå University of Technology has an annual turnover of just over SEK 2.3 billion. We have more than 1,800 employees and nearly 21,600 students.
The department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering at Luleå University of Technology (LTU) is looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to carry out research with the Signal Processing group. Current research in Signal Processing takes place in the areas of measurement technology and wireless communications, in close cooperation with industry. In our research we seek to understand how to infer information from measurement data and how to reliably convey such information from one place or time to another. We are looking for an ambitious and creative colleague who wants to contribute to cutting edge research.

Subject description
The subject includes signal processing with emphasis on development and optimization of algorithms for processing single and multi-dimensional signals that are closely related to applications and applied research.

Project description
The research project deals with quantitative non-destructive evaluation of additively manufactured metal components. This involves conducting ultrasound testing, conventional material characterization and developing a signal processing framework for training of data driven models tailored for the task. The work is to be done in collaboration with the division of Material Science and with our industrial collaboration partners.

Duties
Your main responsibilities will be research within a collaborative project. You will also be expected to participate in supervision of PhD students and Master's degree student. To a limited extent, up to 20% of full time, you may be assigned undergraduate teaching duties.

Qualifications
To qualify for a position as a postdoctoral research fellow, you must have a PhD, a doctoral degree or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD or doctoral degree in signal processing or Ultrasound signal processing or in related topics. Experience in non-destructive testing and evaluation with ultrasound, inspection and characterization of additively manufactured metal components is highly desirable. Candidates should have an excellent mastering of the English language, both orally and in writing.
A doctoral degree awarded no more than three years before the application deadline provides a useful qualification. Candidates who have been awarded a doctoral degree at an earlier date may also be considered if there are special grounds, for example, different types of statutory leave of absence.
