Post Type: Full Time, Fixed Term
Closing Date: Thursday 08 August 2019

The Institute for Communication Systems (ICS) home of the 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC) is looking to recruit a full-time Research Fellow II in terrestrial and satellite antenna design until October 2020. The research is funded by various EPSRC projects and is expected to start on 1^st September 2019. This role would involve work in the area of terrestrial and satellite antenna design/analysis. The successful candidate would join an energetic and established research team supported by state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, including: 4-port Vector Network Analyser (VNA) operating up to 300GHz and anechoic chamber for antenna measurement.

The ideal candidate is expected to have research experiences in the following areas:

• Design and analysis of low-cost mm-wave antennas, MIMO/multibeam antennas, reconfigurable microwave/mm-wave antennas, wearable antennas;
• Design and analysis of multi-band satellite antenna array;
• Use Vector Network Analysers (VNAs) and other laboratory instruments for antenna characterisation.

ICS is the largest academic research institute in Europe specialising on all aspects of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). It is home to over 200 researchers with expertise in all communication and broadcasting systems and has developed the best in class large scale testbeds for research and innovation and enjoys the state of the art lab and computing facilities.

5GIC was established in 2012, and is the world’s first dedicated centre in researching end-to-end aspects of 5G and works closely with national and international leading academic institutes and key industrial partners.

Applicants should have a PhD in wireless communications or electric engineering. Preference will be given to those with proven experience. Applicants are expected to have track record of publications, good problem solving and analytical skills, to be proactive, to engage with other researchers and to be self-motivated. The successful candidate will, in collaboration with other researchers, specify, design and implement the systems under investigation.

Informal enquiries related to the project can be made to Professor Pei Xiao by email: p.xiao@surrey.ac.uk.
