Who should apply?

I am hiring PDF/PhDs for research on AI in wireless communications in collaboration with an industrial partner. A background in channel modeling and beamforming is required in addition to expertise with deep learning and Python. Knowledge and experience with SDRs, USRPs and GNU radio is a plus.

Work will involve collaboration with industrial partners for projects supported by Qoherent, European Space Agency, Alberta Innovates, and the Canadian Foundation for Innovation. 

Motivated researchers (PhD, MSc, PDFs) passionate for new research in 6G networking & sensing, foundational AI models for wireless, and AI for brain-computer interfaces are welcome to apply. More details on my research interests can be found at: Research | HatemAbouzeid (hatem-abouzeid.com
