Position Overview
Essential
Job Duties
The primary purpose of this position is to support and advance research in the areas of integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), machine learning for radar and wireless systems, and software-defined radio (SDR) based developments in sensing/communication areas. The postdoctoral fellow will play a key role in conducting innovative research, mentoring graduate students, disseminating findings through high-impact publications, and supporting the preparation of competitive research proposals.
This position is critical to maintaining the lab’s momentum in federally funded research and expanding its impact in next-generation radar and communication technologies.
Duties And Responsibilities Include
- Designing and implementing algorithms for joint radar and
- communication system architectures, with an emphasis on integrated sensing and communication (ISAC).
- Applying and developing novel machine learning techniques for radar, remote sensing and wireless communication areas based on project targets.
- Prototyping signal processing algorithms using software-defined radio (SDR) platforms (e.g., USRP, GNU Radio, MATLAB/Simulink).
- Leading and collaborating on journal and conference publications to disseminate research findings.
- Advising and mentoring graduate and undergraduate research students.
- Supporting the preparation and writing of new research proposals aligned with the lab’s mission and funding agency priorities.
- Participating in weekly research meetings and project reviews to coordinate progress and communicate results to project stakeholders.
- Supporting experiments over the NSF AERPAW Platform
