Job description

Join the Dutch 6G flagship project to help shape the future of communications!

The Postdoc FNS in 6G research Integration position is part of the Future Network Services (FNS) flagship project.

Job description

Join the frontier of innovation in 6G: the future of mobile networks technology! In the Netherlands, a unique alliance of 60 top-notch ICT companies, semiconductor firms, and research institutions has united to spearhead specific aspects of 6G: (1) software antennas, (2) AI-driven network software, and (3) groundbreaking 6G applications. Join us as a PostDoc in this prestigious Future Network Services (FNS) flagship project, where research and entrepreneurial pursuits converge.

FNS runs several individual research projects in parallel, primarily carried out by PhD students. The impact and value of these projects will be much greater when the individual components are run together. This postdoc position helps oversee the TU Delft PhD projects in PL2 and aligns the systems and interfaces designed in each individual project to create large-scale experiments and integrated demos. The aim is to communicate these activities also to PL1 and PL3, for example through participation in the requirements team, thereby exploring opportunities for cross-PL integrated demos.

Job requerements

Become part of an expansive ecosystem shaping the development of 6G. You will benefit from training in 5G and beyond networks, AI, and software development. Plus, you will gain exclusive access to (1) a state-of-the-art testbed where theory meets real-world application, and (2) an ecosystem that cultivates entrepreneurial endeavours.

Are you ready to challenge yourself? We're seeking candidates who have, or are about to receive, a PhD degree in a relevant computer science discipline and who like to combine theory with practice. Proficiency in English is essential, as you'll collaborate within a diverse, international community.
