About this position

Ghent University is advertising a Doctoral fellow position in the Department of Information Technology, within the WAVES research group and Ghent University/IMEC INTEC in Belgium. The project focuses on network modeling and planning for integrated terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks as part of future 6G systems. The successful candidate will work on research that combines terrestrial deployments with drones and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites to enable 3D global coverage and improved network performance.

The research agenda includes extending the WAVES terrestrial propagation and network planning tool for non-terrestrial communication, modeling LEO satellite and UAV communication and exposure, developing AI-based algorithms to optimize coverage, capacity, energy, and exposure, and supporting digital twin operation through dynamic environment-aware replanning using monitoring sensor data. The work sits at the intersection of wireless communications, radio propagation, network optimization, and electromagnetic exposure modeling, with a clear engineering and applied research focus.

This is a full-time PhD-level doctoral fellowship. The initial appointment is for 12 months, with the possibility of extension after positive evaluation up to a maximum of 48 months. The fellowship amount is stated as 100% of the net salary of an AAP member in equal family circumstances, and the grant is described as free of personal income tax under doctoral fellowship regulations. Ghent University also notes standard staff benefits, including training opportunities, holiday leave, bicycle allowance, and eco vouchers.

Eligibility is aimed at candidates with a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics Engineering, or a related Master of Science degree. The post is suited to applicants interested in wireless networks, planning tools, AI-driven optimization, and integrated terrestrial/non-terrestrial communication systems. No specific language test, GPA, or publication requirement is mentioned in the advertisement.

The application deadline is 2026-11-30 23:59 (Europe/Brussels). Interested candidates should send an application letter and CV to Isabelle Van der Elstraeten at Ghent University/IMEC INTEC-WAVES.
