Descripción del empleo

The AI-driven Systems Research Area led by ICREA's Professor Xavier Costa is looking for a talented researcher with a strong background in the field of mobile networks and experience in applied AI. The Scientific group focuses its research and development activities on new challenging concepts, such as network/RAN virtualization, network programmability, network slicing, mmwave, smart surfaces, etc. with a particular interest on their applications towards the society digital transformation. Expected 6G use cases, such as AI-based automation of mobile networks, mission-critical communications and wireless sensing, will be carefully evaluated and corresponding solutions will be designed and implemented in our lab premises.


The work focuses on the analytical evaluation of solutions designed as well as proof of concepts both for public and industrial R&D projects in collaboration with industrial and academic partners.


Work objectives are concept studies and evaluation, research prototype software development, publications as well as IPR creation. The research work will be carried out in an international team of researchers.
