Postdoc in Advanced Antenna Architectures for Drone Communications at Aalborg University
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.
