Descripción del empleo

Join the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of TECNUN.

About the position:

A fully funded PhD position is available at the Tecnun School of Engineering, University of Navarra, San Sebastián, Spain. The selected candidate will join the Wireless Instrument Group (WIN) at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

We are seeking a candidate with a strong research background to contribute to the development of service-aware 6G communication and computing technologies for Critical Cyber-Physical Systems (CCPS), including applications such as industrial automation and smart grids. To address the diverse and stringent requirements of CCPS, integrated 6G communication and computing schemes with service-aware characteristics should be developed, focusing on end-to-end system performance against key performance indicators.

The selected candidate will work on the following key tasks:

• Designing service-aware 6G communication and computing technologies for CCPS.
• Developing experimental testbeds for performance validation.

Tecnun, the Engineering School of the University of Navarra, offers a 3-year doctoral contract at the Technological Campus in San Sebastián (Spain).

We provide an excellent, international, and multidisciplinary research environment with state-of-the-art facilities.

Opportunities to visit world-reputed universities, research institutes, and industrial partners in and out of Spain.

Training:

• Hands-on training in developing and running experimental testbeds.
• Training in advanced research methodologies in 6G communication & computing.
• Guidance in publishing and presenting in top-tiered journals and conferences.

Minimum Requirements:

• An MSc degree in Telecommunication Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, or related fields (Date of degree: before Aug. 31, 2025).
• Language: English (IELTS 6.5 or equivalent).
• Software: Proficiency in programming and Linux systems.
• Strong background in telecommunications, networking, and/or computing.
• Experience in building wireless systems or experimental testbeds.
• Familiarity with 5G standards and/or open-source projects, e.g., OpenAirInterface and srsRAN, is preferred.
• Knowledge of critical cyber-physical systems is considered an advantage.

The candidate must meet the requirements for admission to the doctoral program at the Tecnun School of Engineering.

Application Process:

• Cover letter describing your motivation as a thesis candidate.
• Updated CV with photograph.
• Undergraduate and Master's degree transcripts.
• Language certificate.
