Om jobbet
Current transmitters are limited in terms of their bandwidth, energy efficiency and linearity. In this research project you will work on the intersectional area of antenna design, circuit design and signal processing to investigate novel nonlinear multi-antenna transmitters that overcome these limitations. By utilizing antenna mutual coupling for effective amplitude modulation – a shift from the traditional view that considers it detrimental – you will overcome existing limitations in frequency, efficiency, power, and linearity, thereby fostering sustainable digital transformation.
About us
The position is hosted by https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/research/microwave-electronics/ at https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/ where the you will have access to several commercial state-of-the art MMIC foundry processes and world-class measurement infrastructure allowing for a successful completion of this research project. At the Microwave Electronics laboratory currently 5 students pursue their Ph.D. in a similar area, which plenty of opportunity to collaborate and learn from and with peers.
About the research project 
You will work in a complementary team to investigate a new transmitter topology. Your responsibility will be to design microwave components such as power amplifiers and antenna arrays but also derive the theory how to feed the individual amplifiers for the most energy efficient transmission in a certain direction. The goal is to develop a new scalable transmitter architecture that embraces mutual antenna coupling as a means of load modulation - allowing neighboring elements to efficiently create modulated signals similar to classical Chireix outphasing, but using the antenna aperture as combining element. The position is hosted at the department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience where you will haveaccess to state of the art microwave measurement facilities at the Kollberg lab. The project is supported by collaboration agreements with semiconductor manufacturers that allow fabrication in CMOS, GaAs and GaN processes.
Who we are looking for

Do you want to join an international team of expertise to support industry in better understanding which defects in fibre-reinforced composite structures that can be accepted without compromising quality or safety? We have an open position for a doctoral candidate within LEGEND – a European doctoral network developing increased understanding of, and computational tools for studying the effects of defects in composite structures.
About us
The Doctoral student position is placed at the Division of Computational Mechanics and Materials Engineering, which belongs to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. We foster an inclusive, friendly, and helpful work environment to which we welcome you to contribute. Our activities integrate computational mechanics and advanced materials technology, combining multidisciplinary expertise to predict, understand, and elevate the performance of engineering materials and structures.

Within the project, you will also be connected to an international team of experts in the area of mechanics of composites through LEGEND – a Marie Sklodowska Curie Action doctoral network project. LEGEND, encompassing a collection of European research organisations and industries, will recruit 14 doctoral candidates, offering a lot of cross-over collaboration. For more information, please visit the LEGEND https://www.legend-msca-dn.com/.
About the research project 
This project focuses on redefining how defects are assessed in composite aerospace structures - helping industry move beyond overly conservative repair or discard decisions. The Doctoral student will develop an advanced global–local modelling approach that captures how individual and interacting defects influence structural performance.
By combining high-fidelity simulations with experimental testing of lab-scale components, our research will generate new data, validate predictive models, and establish improved defect acceptance criteria. The outcome will be a practical, industry-ready methodology that enables safer, more cost-efficient decisions when dealing with defects in composite components.
The project will involve collaborations and secondments (in total 8 months during the first three years) at University of Kore (2 months) and Leonardo S.p.A. (6 months) in Italy.
Who we are looking for
The following requirements are mandatory:
To qualify as a Doctoral student, you must have a Master's degree (masterexamen) of 120 credits or a Master’s degree (magisterexamen) of 60 credits* in Applied Mechanics, Structural Engineering, Computational Engineering, Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Physics or similar.
Documented experience (education/courses or thesis project with high grades) in the finite element method and the mechanics of fibre-reinforced polymers.
Interest and high skills in programming and numerical methods
Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
*for students with an education earned outside of Sweden, a 4-year Bachelor’s degree is accepted.
We also expect that you are analytical, ambitious, independent, and a strong team player that thrives through collaboration.
The following experience will strengthen your application:
Documented knowledge (education/courses or thesis project) in computational homogenisation and/or computational micro/mesoscale modelling.
What you will do
Develop your scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research through written scientific publications and oral presentations at international conferences.
Collaborate with fellow doctoral candidates within the LEGEND project, utilising synergies between projects.
Actively participate in General Assembly meetings and doctoral training events within LEGEND, distributed across Europe.
Take courses at an advanced level within the Graduate school of Solid and Structural Mechanics.
Develop and implement a computational framework that links small-scale material defects to large-scale structural performance, enabling accurate prediction of how defects affect strength, stiffness, and fracture behaviour.
Teach on Chalmers' undergraduate level corresponding to 10 percent of working hours.
Contract terms
The Doctoral student positions are fully funded from start.
The position is a fixed-term appointment of four years, with the possibility to teach up to 10%, which extends the position up to four and a half years.
