Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom Glasgow Caledonian University Full time

Position Overview

Glasgow Caledonian University, a prominent institution in Scotland, is dedicated to fostering a vibrant academic environment that prioritizes high-quality education and impactful research. Our commitment to community engagement and sustainable practices has positioned us as a leader in modern education.

As part of our School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment, we are excited to announce an opportunity for a Research Associate (RA) within the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. This role is pivotal in advancing an EPSRC-funded initiative aimed at developing a specialized communication framework for 6G networks, which will incorporate innovative sensing capabilities and robust security protocols.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct network modeling and analysis to create, test, and validate new algorithms that enhance joint communication, sensing, and security.
  • Collaborate within a multidisciplinary team of researchers and academics from Glasgow Caledonian University, University of Glasgow, and Coventry University.
  • Implement a 6G-enabled live video streaming testbed utilizing reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), integrating sensing and security features developed in collaboration with partner institutions.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate will possess a background in Electrical Engineering, particularly in communication systems, and hold a PhD in a relevant field. Hands-on experience with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) is essential. We seek individuals who are self-motivated, proactive, and capable of working independently while also thriving in a team-oriented environment. Strong communication skills are a must.

Applicants should demonstrate familiarity with various communication technologies, including RIS and software-defined radios (SDRs), particularly USRP models. A foundational understanding of 5G/6G and WiFi protocols, as well as knowledge of radio frequency (RF) sensing and physical layer security (PLS), is required. Proficiency in programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, and C++ is also essential.

At Glasgow Caledonian University, we are committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion across all facets of our operations. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates who align with our values.

Benefits

The University offers a comprehensive range of benefits, including opportunities for professional development, family-friendly policies, a cycle-to-work scheme, and onsite childcare facilities.
