Research Assistant/Associate in Long Range Wireless Communications


University of Bristol -Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering

Language: English (UK)
Region: England
Country: United Kingdom
Job number: ACAD100241
Contract Type: Fixed-term contract staff
Work Hours 35.0 Hours per Week
Job Type: Research and Teaching
Division / School: Merchant Venturers' School of Engineering
Grade I £30424 - £34223 per annum
Grade J £34223 - £38522 per annum
Based in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, you will take up a research post to explore via mathematics, computer simulation and practical experimentation the fundamental trade-offs between data throughput and operating range. The work requires a thorough understanding of communications theory (modulation and coding) as well as radiowave propagation modelling over terrestrial distances of up to 100km.
This post will begin with a detailed literature search exploring the area of long range communications. The project will develop novel modulation and coding algorithms techniques, protocols and architectures that enable long range communications. The role will run alongside other university staff with collaboration required to practically demonstrate some aspects of the work.
You will work in a large research group but will specifically focus on i) long range propagation (including suitable mathematical models), ii) advanced modulation and coding strategies for 50-100km links and 3) computer simulation and evaluation of suitable candidate schemes.
You will have a PhD in or equivalent experience in wireless communications, plus experience of applying communications theory and performing Matlab simulation studies. You will be required to lead the technical work programme and contribute to system specification and evaluation.
Please note that this post is available for up to one year in the first instance.
