Lead the Charge in Cutting-Edge Research. This is an exciting opportunity to join a vibrant project as a Research Fellow in the School of Architecture, Technology and Engineering.

The project is funded by an external grant and this is a full-time (37.0 hours per week) position for a fixed term (two years) to work in the area of 5G/6G wireless communication engineering. Your role will involve planning and carrying out new state-of-the-art research in 6G wireless communication, and you will support use-cases which include applications of drone and AI for precision spraying, crop monitoring, and data analysis to optimise irrigation and predict yields.

The key functions of your role will be gathering and analysing data, writing reports and papers, dissemination activities including presenting at conferences and participation in stakeholder events, and supporting the development of further research. You will also have the opportunity to deliver training, assist in teaching and administrative activities, conduct research, and contribute to publications.

To be effective in this role, you will need:

1. A relevant degree in Electrical/Electronic/Communication Engineering or Computer Science (or a closely related discipline).
2. Sufficient, up-to-date breadth or depth of specialist knowledge in the area of wireless communication and its AI applications such as drones/UAVs, research methods and techniques to work within established research programmes, and evidence of commitment to engage in continuous professional development, and the ability to effectively communicate & disseminate to technical/non-technical partners.
3. Competent IT and programming skills such as MATLAB, Python, C/C++.
4. Ability to develop and provide training and learning programmes for relevant educational and industrial stakeholders.

This post is full-time; we do welcome applications from people seeking job share opportunities.

Due to the nature of the project, the role will be based on campus; however, there will be times where occasional working remotely would be feasible whilst working on the software side of the project.
