About this position

Ghent University is advertising a doctoral fellow (PhD) position in the WAVES research group at the Department of Information Technology, working on Digital Twin Mapping of 5G-6G dynamic electromagnetic field environments.

The project focuses on monitoring electromagnetic fields in legacy and next-generation wireless networks, including 5G, 6G, non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), drones, and Low Earth Orbit satellites. Research topics include modular monitoring nodes, radio electric observatory testbeds, experimental assessment of EM fields across FR3 spectrum bands, spectrum map creation, detection of unusual EM traffic patterns, human EM absorption assessment via FDTD, localization of dynamic users, sensor fusion, and development of a city-scale digital twin model for realistic wireless propagation and exposure.

Eligibility: applicants should hold a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics Engineering, Computer Sciences, or a related Master of Science degree.

Funding: full-time doctoral fellowship, initially for 12 months and extendable up to 48 months after positive evaluation. The fellowship amount is stated as 100% of the net salary of an AAP member in equal family circumstances, and the grant is tax-free under the applicable doctoral fellowship regulations.

Application: send your application letter and CV to Isabelle Van der Elstraeten at Ghent University/IMEC, INTEC-WAVES, via the contact email provided in the post. The last application date is 2026-11-30 23:59.
