15 PhD Marie-Curie positions for the 5GSTEPFWD project
Project description
5G STEP-FWD, a newly launched Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN) offers fifteen (15) PhD positions in six European countries. The project will work towards a new high capacity and low latency architecture for backhauling 5G networks. The proposed architecture takes full advantage of the ultra-narrow wavelength spacing of the UDWDM technology, in order to provide connectivity to a dense small-cell population. The project researchers will work both at the physical and the network layer domains, aiming at designing systems and algorithms for building the 5G cellular network of tomorrow. More information on the project can be found here: http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/210469_en.html
Qualifications
The candidate must have a master's degree in electrical, electronics, telecommunications, photonics engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree.
Salary and appointment terms
The Early Stage Researchers (ESR) enrolments are under very attractive employment conditions and competitive salaries offered in Marie Curie Innovative Training Networks. The period of employment is 3 years. All ESRs will take part in a secondment other project partner for up to 6 months of their appointment period. Candidates will be enrolled in a PhD degree program in the selected city position.
Eligibility criteria
Candidates must also meet the following criteria: 1) be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers; 2) be of any nationality, but not having resided or carried out their main activity in the country of the host institution of the position they are applying to for more than 1 year in the past 3 years; 3) have not yet been awarded a PhD degree.
Application
The applications must be received no later than 30/09/2017 by using the online-system: http://5gstepfwd.eu/oaf-2017
