About this position

Durham University’s Department of Engineering is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate for the UKRI EPSRC-funded CHEDDAR project, “Communications Hub For Empowering Distributed ClouD Computing Applications and Research.” The project aims to support 6G communications, energy efficiency, distributed cloud computing, and collaboration across the UK academic community.

The postdoctoral researcher will focus on end-to-end power consumption models and sustainability frameworks for 6G communications. The work will involve developing high-fidelity mathematical models that quantify power consumption across complete 6G communication chains and creating a sustainability-centred management system that balances functional benefits with energy costs.

The research environment combines communication systems, energy-efficiency analysis, optimisation, AI-enabled communication networks, mathematical modelling, simulation, and performance evaluation. The researcher will use tools including Python and MATLAB, conduct individual and collaborative research, develop research methods, and contribute research ideas to the wider project.

Working with Professor Hongjian Sun and Dr Zhuangkun Wei, the postholder will prepare journal and conference publications, present findings to academic and non-academic audiences, engage with project partners, contribute to research proposals, and support training and student supervision where appropriate. The Department of Engineering offers a research-intensive, collegial, and inclusive setting with strong activity in engineering and communications research.

Funding details

This is a fixed-term, full-time salaried post at Durham University, Grade 7, with a salary of £39,560 to £41,885 per annum; the starting salary is £41,885 per annum.

The role includes university staff benefits such as annual leave, pension membership, and other benefits. The project is funded by UKRI EPSRC.

What's required

Applicants must have a good first degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, and a PhD or be close to submission in Electrical and Electronic Engineering or a related subject. Essential experience includes high-quality academic research; writing for highly ranked journals; presenting research at international conferences; communicating complex information; and mathematical modelling, simulation, and performance evaluation of communication and energy systems using Python and MATLAB. Applicants must be able to work cooperatively and independently to strict deadlines and have excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Desirable experience includes a strong publication and conference record, developing research proposals with academics, overseeing students, energy-efficient wireless communications, optimisation, AI-enabled communication networks, end-to-end energy modelling, sustainability assessment, and independent research management.

How to apply

Apply online through the Durham University recruitment portal. Submit a CV, a cover letter addressing the essential criteria, and a maximum two-page document explaining how your research aligns with the role and outlining a brief research plan for end-to-end energy modelling and sustainability frameworks for 6G communications.
