Assistant/Associate Professor in “Antennas and Radio Systems” - Permanent Contract

The position is to be filled within the Simulation, Navigation and Propagation (SiNaP) axis of the SAMOVAR laboratory's ISTeC team. Research activities focus on the design and adaptation of antennas to circuits and systems, and may include aspects of beamforming, multi-antenna MIMO or intelligent surface antennas (RIS). Use cases could be linked to the fields of healthcare, future networks or energy. This work could be carried out in collaboration with our academic partners (Télécom Paris, ESIGELEC, Sorbonne Université, etc.) and industrial or public partners (THALES, APHP, etc.).

The successful candidate must

• Research: conduct research activities in the field of antennas (study, design and characterization) and propagation model development.
• Teaching: participate in teaching activities in microwave and electronics (first year of engineering cycle), radio systems and optics courses (Master M1-M2, IP-Paris), and also design and set up new courses in 5G/6G communications.
• Other: actively participate in obtaining research funding (ANR, EU, BPI...), develop and strengthen industrial and academic collaborations, and get involved in the Saclay ecosystem.
• Good experience with RF design/simulation tools and RF instrumentation
• Experience in higher education and research (post-doc) or industry
• Programming skills (Matlab, Python, Labview, etc.)
• Initial experience in research project management
• Taste for teamwork and interdisciplinarity

Research experience with several teams, or experience with an international team is highly appreciated. Multicultural experience is an advantage.
