Description
MSCA-PF: Joint application at the University of Granada. Department of Signal Theory, Telematics and Communications.
Professor Pablo Ameigeiras, from the Department of Signal Theory, Telematics and Communications at the University of Granada, welcomes postdoctoral candidates interested in applying for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) in 2026 at this University. Please note that applicants must comply with the Mobility Rule (for more information about the 2026 call, please consult this link).
Brief description of the institution:
The University of Granada (UGR), founded in 1531, is one of the largest and most important universities in Spain. With more than 57,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students and almost 7,000 members of staff, the UGR offers 97 undergraduate degrees, 157 master’s degrees (7 of which are double degrees) and 28 doctoral programmes via its 124 departments and nearly 50 centers. Accordingly, the UGR offers one of the most extensive and diverse ranges of higher education programmes in Spain.
The UGR has been awarded with the "Human Resources Excellence in Research (HRS4R)", which reflects the institution’s commitment to continuously improve its human resource policies in line with the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. The UGR is also internationally renowned for its excellence in diverse research fields and ranked among the top Spanish universities in a variety of ranking criteria, such as national R&D projects, fellowships awarded, publications, and international funding.
The UGR is one of the few Spanish Universities listed in the Shanghai Top 500 ranking - Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). The 2025 edition of the ARWU places the UGR in 301-400th position in the world and as the 3-8 highest ranked University in Spain, reaffirming its position as an institution at the forefront of national and international research. From the perspective of specialist areas in the ARWU rankings, the UGR is outstanding in Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence and Dentistry & Oral Sciences (ranked between 51th-75th position), Computer Science & Engineering, Education and Hospitality & Tourism Management (between 76-100th position), and in the areas of Food Science & Technology and Business Administration (between 101-150th position). A little lower in the ranking, the UGR also stands out in the areas of Earth Sciences, Law, Management, Nursing, Psychology and Statistics, in which the UGR is positioned in the 151-200th position.
Additionally, the UGR counts with 4 researchers at the top of the Highly Cited Researchers (HCR) list, most of them related to the Computer Science and Mathematics scientific areas. It is also well recognised for its presence in the top 200 Universities in Europe at 83th place.
Internationally, the University of Granada is firmly committed to its participation in the calls of the Framework Programme of the European Union. For the duration of the prevoius Framework Programme, Horizon 2020, the UGR obtained a total of 124 projects with a total funding of more than €30 million. For the current Framework Programme, Horizon Europe, the UGR has obtained 136 projects, so far, with a total funding of more than €38 million.
Brief description of the Centre/Research Group:
WiMuNet (Wireless and Multimedia Networking Lab, TIC-235) is a research group of the University of Granada formed by members of the Department of Signal Theory, Telematics and Communications, with links to CITIC-UGR. The group focuses on advanced communication networks, with particular emphasis on 5G/6G mobile networks, wireless systems, low-power IoT, deterministic networking, network softwarization, quality of service/experience, and AI-assisted network design and operation.
WiMuNet develops disruptive solutions combining analytical modelling, simulation, optimization, and experimental validation through demonstrators and testbeds. Its recent activity includes European and national projects related to 5G/6G systems, private and industrial networks, deterministic communications, network slicing, multi-connectivity, orchestration, edge/cloud computing, industrial automation, and AI-enabled networking.
The group has developed advanced experimental infrastructures through projects such as 6GNETWORKS-LAB and 6G-CHRONOS, including outdoor private 5G-Advanced experimental deployments, deterministic 5G/TSN integration platforms, edge/cloud computing infrastructure, industrial automation facilities, collaborative and mobile robotic systems, Industry 4.0 demonstrators, and 5G-Advanced laboratory networks with channel and mobile terminal emulators for stress testing. These facilities provide a unique environment for experimentally validated research on Beyond 5G/6G systems, deterministic networking, AI-enabled robotics, and industrial automation.
Project description:
The selected MSCA-PF researcher will join an interdisciplinary research line focused on 5G-Advanced/6G systems for AI-enabled robotics and Industry 4.0/5.0 applications.
Potential research topics include:
- Design of advanced 5G-Advanced/6G network solutions optimized for AI services in robotic applications, ensuring low-latency, reliable, high-capacity, and deterministic communications.
- AI-enabled robotic systems based on distributed computing across robot, edge, and cloud infrastructures leveraging 5G-Advanced/6G connectivity.
- Deterministic 5G/6G communications for industrial automation, including the integration with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) technologies.
The project can leverage the advanced experimental facilities available at the Multimedia Networking Lab (WiMuNet) of the University of Granada, including a private 5G-Advanced/6G experimental infrastructure, edge/cloud computing platforms, collaborative and mobile robotic systems, an integrated 5G-TSN demonstrator, and an Industry 4.0 automated flexible assembly cell (FAS-200 SE I4.0). Experimental validation in realistic industrial scenarios can strengthen the research proposal.
Candidates with backgrounds in 5G-Advanced/6G systems, robotics, industrial automation, and artificial intelligence, are encouraged to apply.
