Postdoc in Wireless Communications

Position description
As a part of the WIRE research project, the Embedded Systems (ES) centre of excellence within the School of Innovation, Design and Engineering (IDT) at Mälardalen University (MDH) invites applications for a position as a postdoctoral researcher with a focus on reliable, time-critical wireless communications.

The main goal of project WIRE is to achieve increased dependability of time-critical wireless communication when used in industrial automation environments. To be accepted for use in industrial applications, wireless technologies must offer similar performance in terms of dependability and predictability as provided by current wired solutions. Wireless solutions of today still fail to do this. Therefore, new research is required, aimed at increasing wireless reliability, availability, robustness, and maintainability subject to real-time constraints. The results will enable wider applicability of wireless communication systems in time-critical industrial applications, e.g. process control systems.

The employment is funded for a period of two years, and allows a maximum of 20 % teaching.

Qualification requierements
The applicant is required to have a PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering.

Decisive importance is attached to personal suitability. We value the qualities that an even distribution of age and gender, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, can contribute to the organization.
