Internship Opportunities in 5G/6G Mobility, Network Virtualization, and AI/ML for Master’s and PhD Students École de technologie supérieure in Canada

École de technologie supérieure (ETS-Montreal) is offering internship opportunities for Master’s and PhD students as part of a newly accepted research project funded by Canada’s Department of National Defence (DND) through the IDEaS Challenge. The project, titled "Seamless Transitions Between Mobile Broadband Networks," will run for one year in 2026 and focuses on developing advanced mechanisms for reliable mobility across heterogeneous 5G and future networks. This research is critical for next-generation defence and public safety applications.

Interns will work on cutting-edge topics including 5G/6G mobility and handover technologies, network virtualization, edge computing, AI/ML for mobility prediction and network optimization, and software-defined/cloud-native networking. The project is a collaborative effort involving partner universities such as University of Waterloo, University of Regina, and École de technologie supérieure.

Applicants should be highly motivated Master’s or PhD students with a keen interest in wireless technologies and network research. Priority will be given to students currently studying in Canada. While no specific funding details are mentioned, the internships are part of a government-funded research initiative. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Professor Rami Langar directly or share the opportunity within their academic network.
