About this position
Postdoc opportunity in advanced antenna architectures for drone communications at Aalborg University, Department of Electronic Systems.
The project focuses on developing compact, directional, and beam-steerable antenna solutions for improving the reliability of UAV/drone communication links under realistic flight conditions. The work covers the full research chain: antenna concept development, simulation, fabrication, measurement, and field testing on flying platforms.
You will join the Antennas, Propagation and Millimetre-Wave Systems section and work closely with the Antennas group at Aalborg University. The group is led by Professor Gert F. Pedersen and Professor Shuai Zhang, together with Assistant Professor Rocio Rodriguez Cano. The project is carried out in collaboration with industrial partners Sky-Watch and PRIDANA.
Research areas and keywords: antenna design, electromagnetic engineering, microwave engineering, wireless communication, computational electromagnetics, beam steering, directional/high-gain antennas, UAV communications, measurement and field trials.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a PhD in wireless communication, electrical engineering, antenna and electromagnetic engineering, telecommunications engineering, microwave engineering, or a closely related field. Strong experience with full-wave simulation (FDTD, FEM, or MoM), tools such as CST Studio Suite or Ansys HFSS, MATLAB or Python, and antenna measurements in near-field/far-field environments is expected.
Funding and terms: this is a 1-year full-time postdoc position with the possibility of extension. Salary and employment conditions follow Aalborg University and Danish academic staff regulations. No specific stipend amount is listed.
Deadline: 5 July 2026. Expected start date is 1 August 2026 or soon thereafter.
How to apply: submit the application through Aalborg University’s recruitment system. Include a motivation letter, CV, diplomas, publication list, and any relevant teaching, dissemination, additional qualifications, and references.
