Doctoral student in Frequency Division Multiplexing Transmitter Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden

Chalmers University of Technology invites applications for a fully funded doctoral student position in Frequency Division Multiplexing Transmitter (FDMTX). This research project aims to revolutionize wireless communication by developing a novel transmitter architecture that enhances energy efficiency and data capacity. The Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience offers a vibrant, international research environment with access to world-class nanofabrication facilities and a strong focus on quantum technology, nanoscience, photonics, and future electronic systems.

The FDMTX project involves splitting wideband signals into multiple narrowband branches and recombining them, enabling more efficient power amplification and flexible spectrum use. The research integrates RF circuit design, signal processing, and system-level analysis, combining theoretical studies with experimental validation. Candidates will have opportunities to collaborate across academia, industry, and society, driving innovation and technical breakthroughs.

Applicants must hold a master's degree (or equivalent, such as a 4-year Bachelor’s for non-Swedish education) in Electrical Engineering, Communication Engineering, Engineering Physics, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field, with a strong background in electronic circuit design. Experience in high-frequency circuit design is highly valued. Additional skills in microwave measurements, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning methods for microwave circuit design, and digital signal processing will strengthen your application. Strong written and verbal communication skills in English are required. Physical presence in Gothenburg is mandatory throughout the study period, and a valid residence permit must be presented by the start date.

The position is fully funded from the start, with a starting salary of 34,550 SEK per month (valid from May 25, 2025). The appointment is fixed-term for four years, with the possibility to teach up to 20% and extend the position to five years. As a doctoral student at Chalmers, you are an employee and enjoy comprehensive benefits, including access to Sweden’s generous parental leave, subsidized day care, free schools, and healthcare. Chalmers is committed to gender balance, equality, and inclusion, offering Swedish language courses for international students.

To apply, prepare your application in English and attach all documents as PDF files (maximum 40 MB each). Required documents include your CV, personal letter, a brief introduction and motivation, thesis, and transcripts. Applications must be submitted via the online application form; incomplete applications and those sent by email will not be considered. References will be requested after the interview. The application deadline is May 7th, 2026.
