About this position

Bangor University's DSP Centre is offering a fully funded three-year PhD studentship in physical-layer network security, with research spanning advanced telecommunications and device-, system-, and network-level technologies.

The projects address physical-layer network security and related areas including optical, wireless, and optical wireless communications; joint communications and sensing; data networks; digital and analogue signal processing; mobile communications; high-speed digital circuit design; computer programming; and 5G/6G technologies. Students will undertake theoretical and/or experimental research under the supervision of DSP Centre academics, publish in leading journals and conferences, present at project meetings and workshops, operate laboratory equipment, contribute to research proposal development, assist with undergraduate project supervision, and complete relevant training.

Applicants should hold or expect to obtain a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree, or equivalent, in a relevant physical science, engineering, or technology discipline. Excellent mathematical, analytical, experimental, written, and verbal communication skills are expected, together with the ability to work independently and as part of a team. Research experience, publications, and knowledge of 5G/6G are desirable.

The studentship is fully funded with a UKRI stipend of £21,805 per year at the 2026/27 rate and a full tuition fee waiver. It is open to UK, EU, and international students. Non-UK/EU applicants may require an ATAS certificate, and offers are subject to proof of eligibility to work in the UK and satisfactory references. The expected start date is as soon as possible, and the closing date is 24 November 2026.

The position is based at Bangor University in Bangor, North Wales, United Kingdom. For an informal discussion, contact Professor Jianming Tang at [email protected].
