The Transmission Systems Group at Jacobs University invites applications for two PhD Positions in Electrical Engineering / Communications with Security focus (66,6% working time; limited for 1.5 and 3 years).
About the Research Topics:
- The PhD students will work on security-related topics, one devoted to physical-layer key generation for wireless and powerline channels, the other focusing on so-called TEMPEST.
- Physical-layer key generation determines cryptographic keys from symmetric physical channel properties that are not available to an eavesdropper.
Qualifications:
- University degree (Master or Diploma) in electrical engineering / communications
- Good knowledge of physical layer transmission methods and channel properties
- LDPC codes or signal processing/machine learning backgrounds, respectively
- MATLAB skills
- Very good command of English, both in written and oral communication
- German language proficiency is required for the TEMPEST project
- Ability to work independently and in a team
Application:
