About this position
The University of Sydney is seeking a Research Fellow in Wireless Communications and Digital System Design for its School of Electrical and Computer Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering. Based at the Darlington Campus in Sydney, the four-year research role will join a high-performing team working on advanced wireless communication technologies and digital system architectures.
The successful researcher will design and develop wireless communication systems spanning IEEE 802.11 MAC/PHY architectures, communication protocols and signal-processing algorithms. The project work includes developing, implementing and optimising FPGA-based wireless systems, translating algorithms into efficient and reliable hardware, and experimentally validating high-performance real-time wireless communication platforms.
The role offers opportunities to conduct independent and collaborative research, publish in leading international journals and conferences, develop collaborations with academic and industry partners, and contribute to practical technologies in areas including 5G/6G and next-generation Wi-Fi. The Research Fellow will also provide technical guidance and supervision to higher degree research students while contributing to a collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment.
