The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research.

We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee.

Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.

The role

The Institute for Communication Systems (ICS) home of the 5G and 6G Innovation Centre (5GIC/6GIC) is looking to recruit Research Fellow in Analog Computing for Advanced Communication Systems. The successful candidate will be part of the Wireless Systems Lab group and will have the opportunity to work very close with our industrial partners as well as with academic partners all over the world.

The post holder will undertake research into ultra-low-power analog and mixed-signal computing architectures for future communication systems, with particular emphasis on receiver processing and architectures that reduce or remove reliance on conventional high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion.

The research will investigate how signal-processing operations traditionally implemented digitally can be reformulated and realised using analog, mixed-signal and in-memory computing technologies. Particular emphasis will be placed on the co-design of algorithms and hardware, circuit- and system-level modelling, and evaluation of the resulting architectures in terms of communication performance, power consumption, latency, precision and implementation complexity. The post holder will be expected to be able to set, define and work towards achieving targets, disseminate results and document work done.
