  • We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student with a firm commitment to 
    research in wireless communications to start in January 2020. We need an 
    inquisitive problem solver who is able to work autonomously and also 
    function well in a research team.
    The student will work under the supervision of Dr Huiling Zhu and Prof 
    Jiangzhou Wang alongside a funded EU Horizon 2020 project: http://5g-drive.eu/.

    The successful applicant will be expected to explore suitable radio access 
    technologies in the fifth generation (5G) communication networks and propose 
    novel solutions to optimise spectrum efficiency in order to ensure 
    appropriate high date rate or low latency for enhance mobile broadband (eMBB)
    . It will be expected that performance gains will be demonstrated through 
    practical tests. To achieve this, the applicant will need to be creative and 
    work in close collaboration with other researchers in the project, requiring 
    good communication skills and collaborative problem solving. The work in 
    this PhD project will complement ongoing research collaborations with other 
    project partners.

    The successful applicant will be part of the Communications Research Group 
    in the School of Engineering and Digital Arts, the University of Kent. The 
    research group is internationally renowned for research in mobile systems, 
    antennas, and photonics. It has excellent laboratory facilities including 
    software-based LTE testbed, refurbished anechoic chamber, vector network 
    analyser to 80 GHz, RF measurement up to over 300 GHz, and arbitrary 
    waveform generation and digital sampling oscilloscopes to 50 GHz. The group 
    has extensive involvement in UK and EU research projects. It possesses a 
    wide range of expertise from theoretical analysis to specific system 
    implementations. The group has strong links with researchers at other 
    British and overseas universities as well as with industrial collaborators.

    The main roles of the PhD student will include: 
    1) understanding the state-of-the-art technologies for providing ultra-high 
    data rate and low latency in 5G communications; 
    2) proposing novel radio access solutions to optimise the spectral 
    efficiency while ensuring appropriate high date rate or low latency for eMBB;
     
    3) theoretically analysing the proposed solutions and verifying the solution 
    through simulations; 
    4) potentially testing the solutions in the practical testbed; 
    5) continually reviewing the literature, and producing results leading to 
    high quality research papers; and 
    6) giving presentations to research groups and project partners as well as 
    at conferences, writing technical reports and drafting papers for peer 
    reviewed journals.

    Criteria
    The candidate will ideally have a Masters degree in Electronics or an 
    Engineering subject related to wireless communications. Research experience 
    in massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) or network slicing is desirable 
    but not essential. 
    Open to all applicants
