ph3Job Description /h3 pJoin TU Delft to advance close‑to‑zero‑energy 6G communication for billions of future IoT devices. In this PhD, you will develop breakthrough ambient backscatter technologies spanning terrestrial and satellite networks, contributing to sustainable, battery‑free connectivity. You will work in an international research environment that values scientific excellence and creativity. /p pAs a PhD candidate, you will contribute to the Horizon Europe project IoT‑ZERO by developing new communication techniques for ultra‑low‑power IoT systems in terrestrial and non‑terrestrial networks (TN/NTN). Your research will focus on ambient backscatter communication, signal processing, and energy‑efficient wireless design for future 6G systems. Topics may include modulation design, wireless channel modeling, intelligent reflection mechanisms, delay‑Doppler signal processing, and creative approaches to near‑zero‑energy operation. /p pYou will work at the intersection of wireless communications, embedded systems, and satellite‑enabled IoT. A key challenge is enabling reliable communication in dynamic wireless environments while minimizing energy consumption. Your work will contribute to scientific advances in 6G, sustainable connectivity, and future satellite‑IoT integration. /p pJoin the Embedded Systems group within TU Delft’s Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS). You will collaborate with universities, research institutes, satellite technology providers, and industry partners, working closely with Prof. Arash Asadi, Prof. Przemysław Pawełczak, and a multidisciplinary research team. /p pThe position offers access to advanced SDR platforms, RF measurement equipment, and wireless experimentation facilities. You can publish at leading conferences, contribute to international 6G initiatives, and grow through TU Delft’s PhD training programme. /p h3Job Requirements /h3 ul liYou hold an MSc degree in Electrical Engineering, Wireless Communications, Applied Physics, or a closely related discipline. /li liYou have a strong academic record and demonstrated analytical and mathematical skills relevant to communication systems research. /li liYou have experience with wireless physical layer design, such as modulation, coding, synchronization, or channel modeling. /li liYou have programming experience in MATLAB and/or Python for simulation, modeling, or signal processing. /li liYou have expertise in satellite communications, backscatter communication, RIS, or time‑varying wireless channels, or are eager to develop it. /li liExperience with SDR platforms such as USRP or GNU Radio is considered an advantage. /li liYou are motivated to work creatively and collaboratively in an international, multidisciplinary research environment. /li liYou have an excellent command of spoken and written English. /li /ul h3Conditions of Employment /h3 pDoctoral candidates will be offered a 4‑year period of employment, in the form of two employment contracts: an initial 1.5‑year contract with a progress assessment within 15 months, followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2.5 years if performance requirements are met. /p pSalary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, ranging from €3 059 to €3 881 gross per month, increasing from the first year to the fourth year based on a full‑time contract (38 hours), plus 8 % holiday allowance and an end‑of‑year bonus of 8.3 %. The package includes discounts on health insurance, a monthly work costs contribution, and flexible work schedules. /p h3Additional Information /h3 pLocation: Delft, Netherlands. Relocation support is provided through the Coming to Delft Service. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
