Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Generative Semantic and Token Communication Technologies for Future Wireless Networks University of Surrey in United Kingdom

Postdoctoral Research Fellow opportunity at the University of Surrey in Generative Semantic and Token Communication Technologies for Future Wireless Networks.

The role is based at the 6G Innovation Centre (6GIC) within the Institute for Communication Systems (ICS), University of Surrey, Guildford, UK. The research focus is on 6G wireless networks, generative AI, semantic communications, token communications (TokenCom), and AI-native future wireless systems.

This is an 18-month industry-funded, full-time, fixed-term Research Fellow position (up to September 2027). The post is intended for a researcher who can contribute to ongoing work on token-based semantic communication frameworks and related next-generation communication technologies.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a good honours PhD in wireless communications or AI/computer vision, with a strong publication record. Experience with wireless communication systems and familiarity with training/design of modern generative models such as diffusion models and multimodal large language models is expected. Preference is given to candidates with publications in top AI/CV venues (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR) or leading IEEE journals (e.g., IEEE JSAC, ComST).

How to apply: submit a CV and cover letter through the University of Surrey vacancy page. Informal enquiries can be sent to Dr Mahdi Boloursaz Mashhadi at [email protected].

Research context: the post aligns with recent work on TokenCom, semantic orthogonality, token-domain multiple access, and large-model-driven communication frameworks for text, image, and video transmission.
