About this position
The University of Southern Denmark invites applications for postdoctoral and assistant professor positions in the Section of Digital and High-Frequency Electronics at its Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Odense. The research environment focuses on next-generation wireless connectivity, radar sensing, and electronic systems for intelligent devices and autonomous systems.
Research may cover communications, signal processing, radar systems, antenna design and implementation, real-time wireless connectivity, physical-layer technologies, and communication protocols. Relevant technology areas include 5G, mmWave, terahertz systems, 6G and beyond, LoRa, software-defined radio, and integrated sensing. Applications span autonomous collaborative robotics, drone swarm communications, radar-based object detection and tracking, low-power radio sensor networks, defence technology, IoT systems, and edge computers.
The section offers opportunities to connect this work with complementary research in FPGA and neuromorphic computing, edge artificial intelligence, machine learning, sensing technologies, and energy harvesting. Its broader research community works across infrastructure inspection and maintenance, bio-inspired intelligent systems, high-frequency power management, and radar remote sensing, linking fundamental electronics research with practical engineering challenges.
Postdoctoral researchers will conduct research within the position’s scope while contributing to course planning, teaching support, student supervision, and external funding applications. Assistant professors will develop an independent research agenda, publish internationally, pursue external funding, teach communications, radar and sensor technologies, and antenna theory and practice, and mentor students. Both roles are embedded in SDU’s collaborative electrical engineering education and research environment, with interaction across academic colleagues and professional staff.
