About this position

Doctoral Researcher opportunity at the University of Luxembourg, within the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) and the SIGCOM research group. The position focuses on advanced wireless, optical, and quantum communications, with research directions spanning radio frequency transceiver design, optical communications, quantum communications, and system-level design and optimization.

Research topics include reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, flexible antennas, 6G waveform design, secure communications, photonics, free-space optics, adaptive optics, underwater optical communications, Li-Fi, optical camera communications, quantum error correction, quantum key distribution, entanglement distribution, hybrid quantum-classical neural networks, agentic AI, edge AI, integrated sensing and communications, satellite swarms, and non-terrestrial networks.

The successful candidate is expected to publish in scientific journals and present work at international conferences and workshops. The role is full-time and fixed-term for 36 months. The yearly gross salary for every PhD at the University of Luxembourg is EUR 41,976.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold an M.Sc./M.Eng. in telecommunication engineering, signal processing, machine learning, or a closely related field in Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineering. At least one publication in a prestigious journal or conference is required, and experience with 5G/6G, IoT, UAVs, optimization, sensing, machine learning, or programming in MATLAB/Python/Julia/C++ is preferred. B2-level proficiency in the language of the thesis is required.

How to apply: submit a CV, cover letter, transcripts, and a one-page research statement via the online HR system. Email applications are not accepted. Early application is encouraged because applications are processed upon reception.
