Job assignments

Lund University has a vacant PhD student position on integrated mm-wave circuit design. The main focus of the research project is to investigate circuit techniques, in amplifiers, mixers, power amplifiers, filters, and oscillators, for implementing a high efficiency mm-wave transmitter in CMOS technology. High efficiency is especially important for battery powered devices. Design of circuits in CMOS technology as well as measurements of fabricated circuits are important parts of the work. The PhD student will participate in the project "High Efficiency Millimeter Wave Transmitters using CMOS technology", financed by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet). The position is full-time, which includes 15% department work, mainly teaching.

Eligibility/Entry Requirements

Master´s degree in EE. The position is mainly tailored for research and education within IC design, but it is an advantage if the candidate has some knowledge in wireless communications. In the selection of the candidate, the following aspects are taken into account: marks from Master courses; quality of Master’s thesis and possibly other projects showing independent work; previous experience in the area of IC design and wireless communications; technical interview with the candidate. We expect the application to be submitted as a single pdf file including all attachments.
