POST-DOCTORAL / RESEARCH ENGINEER in 6G PHY Layer, 13 months contract at IMT Nord Europe
Institut Mines-Télécom
Villeneuve-d'Ascq, Hauts-de-France 59491, France
CDI
POSITION TITLE: ''6G PHY Layer''
DISCIPLINE: Signal processing applied to advanced communications for 6G
CONTRAT: Fixed-term contract of 13 months.
AFFILIATION : Ecole Nationale Supérieure Mines-Télécom Lille Douai (IMT Nord Europe)
Public establishment belonging to IMT (Institut Mines-Télécom), placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry, IMT Nord Europe has three main objectives: providing our students with ethically responsible engineering practices enabling them to solve 21st century issues, carrying out our R&D activities leading to outstanding innovations and supporting territorial development through innovation and entrepreneurship. It aims at training engineers and scientists of the future, with both industrial expertise and strong skills in digital technologies. Strategically located at the crossroad of Europe, one hour from Paris, one hour and a half from London and thirty minutes from Brussels, IMT Nord Europe intends to become a major player in industrial, digital and environmental transformations of the 21st century. Therefore, our school is building bridges between education, research, engineering and digital science.
Located on two main campuses dedicated to research and education in Douai and Lille, IMT Nord Europe offers research facilities of almost 20,000m² in the following areas:
IMT Nord Europe aims at strengthening its Innovation and Research Center (CERI) on Digital Sciences both in education and research but also at developing cross-cutting research activities with other Innovation and Research Centers (CERI) of our school. The goal of our center is to study the fusion of physical and digital worlds using modeling and optimization of complex systems, fluidity in human-environment interactions, and pervasive and secure systems design.
The selection committee will pay specific attention to cross-cutting proposals allowing the connection between the different Centers. For more information, see: www.imt-nord-europe.fr
The required missions of the successful candidate are described below
BRIEF:
Under the guidance of the Head of Digital Systems Center, the successful candidate will actively contribute to the teaching and research efforts of the Centre.
Teaching Missions and responsibilities:
Digital Systems Center is involved in all of the teaching programs of the school. In particular, the CERI is in charge of two teaching areas (Industry and Services, and Digital Sciences and Technologies) in the general engineering training program and a continuous training program in Telecommunications and Computer Science. Digital Systems Center also offers a Master's degree in Cyber Security. Finally, the CERI also has teaching activities in professional training.
The successful candidate will provide instruction (lectures, tutorials, and practical lab work) within the school's programs, aligned with his/her area of expertise. The lecturer will specifically contribute to specialty courses at the Master's level, with a particular focus on signal processing applied to telecommunications. Some courses may be taught in English.
Research and technology-transfer Missions:
The digital Center is structured in 3 research groups.
• ARTS (Autonomous, ResilienT Systems) group aims at making distributed and constrained systems resilient and autonomous. A global vision is adopted, integrating data collection (and its communication problems), software development (and its adaptation to systems), prediction, control and security.
• HIDE (Human, Interaction, DEcision) group studies human-centred learning models and the interaction between humans and their environment. It is concerned with augmented environments (Smart Factory, intelligent transport system, ...), assistance and management of elder's autonomy (technology enabled care, abnormal human behavior), as well as security of human-related data.
• MCLEOD (Modelling and control of Complex systems in Large Environments requiring Optimized Decisions) group aims at understanding and better controlling complex systems through modeling, decision-making and control based on Control theory and Artificial Intelligence approaches.
The candidate will join the ART research group, contributing to the strengthening of activities related to signal processing and advanced communications for 5G/6G.
The recruited will be expected to:
• Develop high-level research activities on signal processing algorithms and transmission techniques for advanced telecommunications networks, with an emphasis on the Physical Layer (PHY) of 5G/6G systems.
• Work on the following topics: design of optimized waveforms for 5G/6G, ISAC (Integrated Sensing and Communications), wireless communications based on hybrid and/or explainable AI (XAI), as well as transmission schemes resilient to hardware impairments, ensuring robustness and energy efficiency.
• Actively contribute to ongoing collaborative projects by leveraging their expertise in the priority themes of the ARTS group.
• Publish in leading conferences and journals in the field, and take part in the organization of scientific events.
PROFIL :
Le poste s'adresse à un(e) docteur(e) en traitement du signal, télécommunications, ou disciplines connexes, ayant développé une expertise en couche physique (PHY) des systèmes de communications avancés, avec un focus sur la 5G/6G.
Compétences scientifiques et techniques attendues :
• Expertise dans au moins une des thématiques suivantes :
o Design de formes d'onde optimisées pour les communications 5G/6G, intégrant des approches innovantes comme l'ISAC,
o Communications sans fil basées sur l'IA, qu'elles soient hybrides ou explicables, pour une optimisation dynamique des ressources et une adaptation aux conditions du canal,
o Schémas de transmission résilients aux imperfections matérielles, assurant robustesse et efficacité énergétique dans les systèmes 5G/6G.
• Solide connaissance des outils de simulation et de modélisation (MATLAB, Simulink, GNU Radio, Python avec bibliothèques dédiées comme PyTorch).
Savoir-être et posture professionnelle :
• Capacité à travailler en équipe, à dialoguer avec des collègues aux profils variés (enseignement, recherche, support technique, partenaires industriels).
• Autonomie, sens de l'initiative et capacité à contribuer à des projets collectifs (enseignement, recherche, innovation).
• Bonnes compétences en communication scientifique et vulgarisation.
• Une bonne maîtrise de l'anglais est exigée à l'oral et à l'écrit (capacités d'expression, de négociation et de rédaction),
La résidence administrative est fixée à Villeneuve d'Ascq. Des déplacements réguliers sont à prévoir sur l'ensemble des implantations de l'école notamment pour l'enseignement.
DOSSIER DE CANDIDATURE :
Date limite de clôture des candidatures : 12 juillet 2026
Condition d'éligibilité des dossiers : Titulaire d'un Doctorat.
