Postdoctoral researcher – Wireless Communications
Tyndall National Institute
Postdoctoral researcher – Wireless Communications
Contract Type: Full Time/Fixed Term (2 years approx.)Role Description
The last decade has witnessed a surge in research, development and deployment of 5G networks and systems, estimated to become an $8 trillion business by 2030. Central to this is the research and development of radically new approaches towards communications that are expected to be of low latency, high speed and able to avail of flexible spectrum usage. The ability to take full advantage of flexible spectrum use is enabled by the capability of communications hardware to adapt itself in terms of operating frequency, bandwidth and radiation characteristics, in order to support new applications and services of forthcoming advanced 5G and 6G technologies. To address these challenges, major scientific breakthroughs in new materials are needed to create reconfigurable RF-to-sub-THz devices and RF front-end architectures.Working under the auspices of a joint collaborative effort with Glasgow University, UK and funded by EPSRC-SFI, our vision is to pioneer the 6G communications field by by creating a THz-Reflective Intelligent Surface (RIS) with integrated switching and amplifying capability, thus revolutionizing the control and propagation of signals in wireless networks. As part of this wider effort and working collaboratively, the FUTURE RF and the Advanced Materials and Surfaces groups at Tyndall National Institute, are seeking to appoint a post-doctoral researcher tasked with the investigation and mm-wave and sub-THz characterization of new engineered materials and their ultimate demonstration in cutting-edge THz-Reflective Intelligent Surface (RIS). The new materials will form the basis for the creation of ultra-fast switches as required for the correct working of RIS.The successful candidate will become part of the new and vibrant Laboratory, be involved in cutting edge research and be exposed to the world’s leading wireless and advanced material experts. Furthermore, the successful candidate will have full access to world-class material processing capabilities, mm-wave to sub-THz characterization, antenna measurement and manufacturing facilities.Key responsibilities
