2 PhD Positions: Electrical Engineering/Communications 848 views

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:
