Postdoc position in AI-driven control and management of confluent wireless-wireline networks

Project description
The role primarily involves developing control and orchestration methods for confluent networking. In summary, the main goals are to improve capacity, energy efficiency, and latency by implementing advanced control of new physical layer solutions as part of the ECO-eNET project. This will involve efficient provisioning using both existing and new controllers for wired, wireless, and computing systems, as well as an AI-enabled orchestration layer. AI-driven service and network orchestration will use network sensing technology to gather environmental data, support applications, and optimize networks. The applicant will also be able to interact with our national and international network of collaborators from academia and industry.

Information about the division and the department
The Optical Networks (ON) Unit at the department of Electrical Engineering focuses on research areas such as network automation, control and management, fiber access and mobile transport networks, network sustainability, reliability, security, and survivability, and converged fiber-wireless networks.

Major responsibilities
- Independently formulate research questions and develop strategies to solve them within the scope of your project.
- Develop new AI/ML approaches for optimizing the confluent network design and operation and integrate them into proof-of-concept demonstrators.
- Work collaboratively with other forward-thinking team members and external researchers from academia and industry.
- Communicate the results of your research (verbally and in writing) in high-impact journals and conferences.

Qualifications
To qualify for the position, you must hold a doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunication, or similar awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave, or military service*.

Other qualifications for the position include:

- Proficiency in applying AI/ML methods to the management and operation of communication infrastructures, including monitoring and service provisioning
- Experience in building and executing experimental demonstrations and proofs of concepts
- Ability and motivation to carry-on high-quality research
- Strong track record demonstrated by publications in Q1 journals and top-tier international conferences
- Outstanding programming skills
- Excellent communication skills in oral and written English

* The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree.
