About this position
University College Cork (UCC) is recruiting two Post-Doctoral Researchers for the Nasc Research Centre on a technology development project with industry partners Danalto and Qorvo.
The project focuses on agentic AI and digital twins for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) RF sensing, with applications in localisation, fall detection, and vital sign recognition/monitoring. Research topics include artificial intelligence, deep learning, RF sensing and communications, multimodal UWB RF signal data analysis, and wireless sensing network architecture design and optimisation.
The successful candidates will be based at University College Cork’s campus and work within the wider CONNECT research centre hosted by UCC’s Nasc Research Centre. The team is led by Dr Harry Nguyen and Prof Dirk Pesch, and the role involves collaboration with researchers across UCC and with external industry partners.
Applicants should hold a PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related discipline, and should have a strong publication record. Experience in AI, deep learning, or decision support applied to RF sensing, wireless communications, and signal processing is expected, together with strong multimodal data analysis, teamwork, and project management skills.
This is a 21-month fixed-term whole-time post with a salary of €47,273 - €53,925 p.a. Applications must be submitted online via the UCC vacancy portal by 25 September 2026 at 12 noon Irish local time.
