About this position
Uppsala University in Sweden is offering a fully funded, four-year PhD position in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Division of Signals and Systems. The project, “Multi-Modal Environment Modeling for Wireless Spatial Intelligence,” focuses on AI-native wireless systems and next-generation 5G/6G technologies.
Research topics include wireless localization, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), multimodal environment modeling, 3D reconstruction, computer vision, robotics, semantic representations of physical environments, digital twins, cooperative perception, wireless sensing, and autonomous network optimization. The project will combine wireless measurements with visual, geometric, and map-based information to develop theories, algorithms, and AI models for spatial intelligence.
Applicants should hold a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Strong knowledge in at least two relevant areas—such as wireless communications, signal processing, statistical inference, optimization, machine learning, computer vision, or robotics—is expected. Strong Python skills and experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scientific computing are highly desirable.
The successful candidate will be employed full time for four years with a salary based on the university doctoral salary scale. Benefits include pension contributions, comprehensive social benefits, paid annual and parental leave, and a departmental salary supplement. The anticipated start date is 1 March 2027 or by agreement.
