Postdoc in AI radio localization and sensing

Offer Description

Join the Communication Systems Group (Dept. of Electrical Engineering) to advance AI for 6G localization and sensing. We seek a postdoc in AI/ML to develop robust learning and inference methods for radio-based positioning and sensing (localization, tracking, ISAC), combining physical modeling, probabilistic inference, and modern machine learning in collaboration with international partners.

At the Department of Electrical Engineering, research and education are conducted in Communications, Antennas and Optical Networks, Systems and Control, Signal Processing and Biomedical Engineering, and Electric Power Engineering. We develop sustainable and smart solutions to societal challenges, such as energy efficiency and electrification in areas ranging from transport and production systems to communication solutions and biomedical engineering.

This project strengthens our impact in AI for 6G localization and sensing. The research combines physical modeling, probabilistic inference, and modern machine learning to enable robust positioning and sensing under dataset shift, limited labels, and real‑world constraints. Possible research directions include:

• Model-based machine learning
• Active inference and world models
• Robust and secure ML

The postdoc will work within our growing AI team (4+ full‑time researchers) and collaborate with international partners. You will be expected to lead research, publish in leading venues, collaborate with external partners, and support funding applications that contribute to growing the AI team.

The following requirements are mandatory:

• A doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or an equivalent foreign degree. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Demonstrated experience with machine learning methods and research software development.
• Basic knowledge of wireless communication systems.
• A strong publication record in leading venues (e.g., IEEE Transactions and/or top ML/AI venues). We particularly value evidence of research independence and project ownership.

The following experience will strengthen your application:

• Experience in international collaboration and working in teams.
• Experience in wireless communication, radio positioning, sensing, or ISAC.
• Experience in one or more of the target areas: model-based machine learning, active inference/world models, robust and secure ML.

We are especially interested in candidates with a strong AI/ML background who are excited to apply their methods to radio-based localization and sensing; wireless domain expertise is welcome but not required.

• Perform cutting‑edge research in AI for radio localization and sensing.
• Publish papers in leading venues.
• Interact with our research partners.
• Collaborate with PhD students and postdocs at Chalmers.
• Support funding applications.
• Possibility to engage in teaching if desired.

The position is a temporary full‑time employment for two years with the possibility of a one‑year extension. The position is based in Gothenburg and is primarily on‑site. Occasional work from home within Sweden is possible by agreement. Research visits abroad are encouraged when aligned with the project and collaborations. Working remotely from outside Sweden is not permitted except during approved research visits.

A valid residence permit must be presented by the start date, otherwise the offer may be withdrawn.

• A joyful, supportive, and lively intellectual environment with researchers from around the world.
• As a postdoc at Chalmers, you are an employee and enjoy all employee benefits. Read more about working at Chalmers and our benefits for employees.
• A dynamic and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg.
• Read more about Sweden’s generous parental leave, subsidized day care, free schools, healthcare etc at Move To Gothenburg.

Chalmers offers Swedish courses to help you settle in if you want. However, the working language at Chalmers is English.
