"Postdoctoral Fellow (PREP0003748)"

Job Details

Johns Hopkins, founded in 1876, is America's first research university and home to nine world-class academic divisions working together as one university.

Salary: $84,000-$89,000 a year

Description

PREP Research Associate

This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration.

Research Title:

Modeling aggregate radio frequency emissions from outdoor 4G and 5G cellular deployments

The work will entail:

Conduct research comparing models of received aggregate radio frequency (RF) emissions from 4G and 5G cellular deployments. Examine the effects of different path loss and clutter models on individual emitter contributions and aggregate emission calculations. Compare model predictions to field measurements from ongoing NIST projects.

Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Develop and implement algorithms and models for aggregate RF emissions using Python and/or MATLAB.
• Process field measurements and compare with modeled results using various simulation tools.
• Collaborate with other researchers and engineers to advance the state-of-the-art in aggregate emissions modelling and analysis.
• Present research findings in peer-reviewed publications and presentations.

Qualifications

§ U.S. Citizenship
