Machine Learning-driven Spectrum Access in Next-generation Wireless Networks 

DESCRIPTION

Fully funded PhD scholarship at Univ. Pompeu Fabra (UPF), jointly co-supervised by Prof. Boris Bellalta (Wireless Networking group), Prof. Giovanni Geraci (Wireless and Secure Communications group and Telefónica Research), and Prof. Anders Jonsson (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning group).

This PhD position is offered in the context of the Machine Learning Driven Radio (MLDR) European project. In MLDR, we aim to build a new, clean-slate AI/ML-Driven Radio interface. This new MLDR interface will learn to communicate by selecting and configuring the set of communication protocols and functionalities that better suit every particular use-case and scenario, thus satisfying the aforementioned hard performance requirements and efficiently using the available spectrum resources.  

UPF ranks among the top young universities in the world. Our campus is located in the heart of Barcelona — Catalonia, Spain — and a short walk from the beach. Our department avails of powerful machines for numerical simulations and ML research, and provides strong career development mentoring.

REQUIREMENTS

MSc degree in telecommunications or related field; strong mathematical background and programming skills; fluent oral and written English; enthusiastic, hardworking, positive person.

DUTIES

Conduct innovative research at the intersection of next-generation wireless networks and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning; publish results in first-tier journals and conferences; possibility to undertake industry internships and/or visit top research institutions.

HIRING PROCESS

Position available until filled. Starting October 2024 or earlier. Gross salary ~ 22K€/year. To apply: submit your CV, BSc/MSc academic transcripts, and a short cover letter to Prof. Boris Bellalta, e-mail [email protected].
