About this position
Karlstad University is advertising two research openings within the DISCO (Distributed Intelligent Systems and Communications) group in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, linked to the EU Horizon SNS JU project PIONEERS-6G (Platform and Device Innovations for Energy-Efficient, Resilient, and Secure 6G IoT Systems).
PhD opening: Doctoral student in Computer Science with a specialisation in 6G mobile systems. The research focuses on data-driven solutions for future 6G wireless systems, with emphasis on large-scale Internet of Things (IoT), AI/ML-native network optimization, scalable radio access, resource allocation, non-terrestrial networks, and edge-assisted processing. The position is within a collaborative research environment at Karlstad University and DISCO, with opportunities to work on mobile communication systems, networked systems, and applied AI/ML for communications.
Postdoc opening: Postdoctoral Researcher in Computer Science with focus on 6G Internet of Things technologies and applications. The role contributes to the PIONEERS-6G project and includes research on energy-efficient IoT devices, AI-native multi-connectivity across terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, simulation, algorithm design, prototype-based evaluation, publications, and collaboration with project partners.
Eligibility highlights: The PhD requires a Master’s degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with strong English skills and preferred experience in wireless communications, mobile networks, statistics, AI/ML, and programming (Matlab, Python, and/or C). The postdoc requires a PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, completed no more than three years before the deadline unless special grounds apply, plus good English and relevant research experience.
Funding and terms: The PhD is a paid doctoral studentship for four years full-time, or five years at 80% study rate with up to 20% teaching/departmental duties. The postdoc is a fixed-term full-time position for 3 years. Both positions are based at Karlstad University in Sweden.
Application window: Deadline for both positions is 2026-04-13. Applications must be submitted via the university’s Varbi recruitment system, with complete documentation and references as specified in each advertisement.
