About this position
Chalmers University of Technology is inviting applications for a doctoral student position in adaptive antenna systems for 6G wireless networks within the Antenna Systems group in the Division of Communications, Antennas and Optical Networks, Department of Electrical Engineering, in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The project is part of an SSF-funded Sweden–Taiwan collaborative research project on antenna systems for 6G wireless networks. The research focuses on adaptive, interference-resilient antenna design for energy-efficient and scalable spectrum sharing in the centimetre-wave / FR3 range (6–24 GHz). Topics include antenna hardware design, hybrid analogue–digital beamforming, over-the-air validation, and the interaction between antenna systems and active electronics.
The position is supervised by Professor Marianna Ivashina. The work will be carried out in close collaboration with Swedish and Taiwanese academic partners and industrial stakeholders connected to future wireless infrastructure, RF systems, and non-terrestrial networks.
Eligibility highlights: a completed master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics/Engineering Physics, or a closely related field; documented knowledge of antenna theory, microwave/RF systems, and mathematical modelling/numerical analysis; strong English communication skills; programming/technical computing experience (MATLAB, Python, or similar). Experience with CST, HFSS, ADS, RF measurements, prototyping, SDR/RFSoC, or signal processing is advantageous.
Funding: the doctoral student position is fully funded from the start. The employment is full-time and fixed-term, normally four years with possible extension up to five years if departmental duties are included. Salary follows Chalmers’ doctoral salary agreement (35,725 SEK/month from May 1, 2026).
Application deadline: 1 August 2026. The earliest starting date is 1 September 2026. Apply in English via the application button on the vacancy page and upload PDF files including CV, personal letter, degree certificates/transcripts, and thesis or other scientific work if available.

What's required
Applicants must have a completed master’s degree (at least 240 higher education credits or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics/Engineering Physics, or a closely related field by the start date. Required background includes antenna theory, antenna engineering or electromagnetic field theory; microwave electronics, RF systems or microwave engineering; and mathematical modelling and numerical analysis relevant to electrical engineering or applied physics. Strong English writing and speaking skills, good analytical ability, motivation for independent research, ability to work in an international interdisciplinary environment, and experience with programming or technical computing (e.g. MATLAB, Python) are expected. Meritorious experience includes CST, HFSS, ADS or similar tools, RF/antenna measurements, hardware-oriented prototyping with RF front ends, SDR or RFSoC platforms, signal processing, and a master’s thesis in antennas, microwave engineering, RF systems, wireless communication, or related areas.
