Applicants are invited for 15 PhD positions (Early Stage Researchers, ESRs) to be funded by the Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network “MINTS – MIllimeter-wave NeTworking and Sensing for Beyond 5G” within the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission.

About the project:
  • MINTS provides a unique system-oriented training to 15 ESRs, nurturing a new generation of innovators thanks to internationally recognized researchers with broad experience in research, training, and participation in EU, national, and industry-sponsored projects.
  • With the intensive involvement of industrial beneficiaries and partner organisations (Nokia, NEC, Sony, NI, IMEC, Proximus, Italtel), the ESRs will obtain in-depth knowledge and skills in mmWave networks and its key applications. This interdisciplinary and intersectoral training is an essential component of each ESR’s PhD.
  • The 15 ESRs are distributed over 7 beneficiaries in 6 countries: KU Leuven (Belgium), IMDEA Networks Institute (Spain), TU Darmstadt (Germany), NEC (Germany), University of Padua (Italy), Lund University (Sweden), and Nokia Bell Labs (Ireland).
  • The consortium is completed by 7 partner organisations: IMEC (Belgium), Proximus (Belgium), NI (Germany), Carlos III University of Madrid (Spain), Italtel (Italy), Maynooth University (Ireland), and Sony (Sweden).

Study areas:

  • Wireless communication
  • Mobile Networks
  • Signal Processing
  • Electronic Engineering
  • Computer Science

Requirements:

  • Applicants must hold a university degree that qualifies them for doctoral studies at their recruiting organization.
  • Solid written and oral communication skills in English are prerequisites of any successful application (typically IELTS min. 7, TOEFL internet-based min. 90 or similar level as proven by other tests).
  • Applicant must be an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) or 0-4 yrs (Post Graduate)

Fellowship value:

  • living allowance
  • mobility allowance
  • family allowance (if married)
  • guaranteed PhD funding covered by the training network is for 36 months

Applications:

  • Apply online via the recruitment portal and candidates may apply electronically for one to maximum three positions and indicate their preference.
  • detailed CV
  • Motivation letter

Available projects:

ESR1: Efficient channel estimation and beam training with (partial) channel state information

ESR2: Machine learning-enabled fast and hybrid mmWave beam tracking

ESR3: Fully digital massive MIMO mmWave communication for mission-critical applications

ESR4: Advanced localization and mapping techniques

ESR5: Exploiting mmWave radios for indoor and outdoor environmental sensing

ESR6: Fully digital massive MIMO mmWave positioning

ESR7: Efficient network control for large and highly dense mmWave deployments

ESR8: Ultra-dense cell-free mmWave deployment

ESR9: Resilient multi-RAT techniques to reduce link failure rate

ESR10: Prediction-based mobility management for resilient mmWave networking

ESR11: MAC/Physical layer security of mmWave networks

ESR12: Interference-aware multi-connectivity for industry 4.0

ESR13: Delay jitter bounding through inter-layer coordination and multi-path for industry 4.0

ESR14: Context- and content-awareness in V2X communication

ESR15: Real-time high-throughput AR
