Research Fellow in Physical Layer Radio

This Research Fellow post sits in the Research & Teaching area at the University of Surrey, on an EPSRC-funded project running to March 2029. The work covers antenna synthesis and physical layer radio for a wireless method aimed at delivering gigabit connectivity to train carriages in tunnels. It is full-time and works alongside a second researcher focused on RF and antennas, with a concept demonstrator to build. Candidates need a PhD, or to be close to completing one, in electronic engineering, mathematics or a related field.

What the job involves

• Conduct research on antenna synthesis and physical layer radio for 3D Angular Momentum Multiplexing in train communications
• Design and construct a concept demonstrator with the other RF and antennas researcher
• Run computer-based simulations
• Carry out library research, critical evaluation and interpretation of results
• Take responsibility for specific areas of the project
• Adopt new research techniques and methods
• Work in consultation with the research award holder or supervisor
• Assist other researchers with practical measurements

Qualifications

• PhD (or equivalent), or close to completing one
• PhD in electronic engineering, mathematics or a related area such as antenna array synthesis or modulation and coding

Skills & knowledge

• Capacity for academic judgement
• Original and creative thinking
• Ability to interpret and analyse results

Nice to have

• Postdoctoral research experience
• Industrial experience
