10 PhD positions available in MSCA DN 6th Sense
Applications are invited for 10 PhD positions (“Doctoral Candidates”, DCs) to be funded by the Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network “6thSense – Joint Communication and Sensing in 6G Networks” within the Horizon Europe programme of the European Commission.
6thSense follows a holistic approach to address these challenges by: (WP1) Going beyond traditional sub-6GHz systems and enabling sensing in new B5G/6G communication bands, i.e., millimetre-wave and visible light; (WP2) Addressing distributed sensing and networking challenges through architecture and protocol design; (WP3) Handling the analytical complexity of JCAS by combining the strengths of classical signal processing and optimisation models with advanced machine learning techniques; (WP4) Transferring these research contributions to industry-relevant applications in healthcare, manufacturing, and automotive sectors. 6thSense is an intersectoral and interdisciplinary cluster of excellence formed by electrical engineers and computer scientists that has pooled leading members of large EU initiatives (5G PPP), industry leaders (e.g., Nokia, Ford, Bosch) and academic institutions (e.g., KUL, TUDelft, Princeton, UCLA). Benefitting from this consortium, a comprehensive soft-skill training (WP5) and a tailored dissemination and exploitation strategy (WP6), the 10 PhD fellows will become highly employable in various industries, academia, or public government bodies.
