About this position
This PhD position is part of a research group in scalable and secure distributed inference at Linköping University, Sweden. The project focuses on communication-efficient synchronization of predictions for distributed intelligent systems, where multiple predictive agents must cooperate and make robust decisions despite having different local contexts and models.
The work combines ideas from information and communication theory, signal processing, and statistical learning. A central theme is how to synchronize agent predictions efficiently when their models and environments differ, while also validating the theoretical ideas in modern distributed systems for generative and agent-based AI.
The doctoral student will be based in the Division of Communication Systems within the Department of Electrical Engineering at Linköping University. The division conducts research and education in communication technology, statistical signal processing, network science, and decentralized machine learning.
The position sits in a dynamic and ambitious research group led by Assistant Professor Khac-Hoang Ngo. The group currently includes four doctoral students and works on massive connectivity, point-cloud transmission, distributed inference, and AI security.
Linköping University is highlighted in the advert as a strong AI research environment in Sweden and Europe, providing an active setting for theory-driven and application-oriented work in distributed intelligence systems.
Funding details
Project funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet, VR). Doctoral salary follows a local salary scale and starts at approximately 37,500 SEK per month.
What's required
Applicants must have a second-cycle degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or applied mathematics with at least 240 ECTS credits, of which at least 60 ECTS must be at advanced level in computer science, electrical engineering, or applied mathematics, or otherwise have equivalent knowledge. The degree requirement must be fulfilled by the time the appointment decision is made. Candidates should have strong mathematical maturity, good programming skills, the ability to work independently and goal-oriented, clear communication skills, and good teamwork ability. Very good English skills, both spoken and written, are required. Applicants with backgrounds in information theory, communication theory, signal processing, optimization and learning, applied probability theory and statistics, or distributed systems are especially welcome.
