Position Title: Postdoctoral Fellow - Electrically Small Antennas for Applications in Communications, Sensing, and Defence

This position offers a unique opportunity to build on recent advances in the M3 at the University of Alberta in the area of electrically small antennas with applications to communications, sensing, and defence. Our lab seeks a highly skilled and energetic postdoctoral candidate with research and publication experience in the theory (but also simulation, fabrication, and test) of electrically small antennas near the fundamental limits on bandwidth and electrical size, including passive and active (non-LTI) antenna technologies. The candidate will report directly to the Director of the M3 Lab, Prof. Ashwin K. Iyer. Applications can be made at the following link:

Qualifications:

• Strong skills in analytical methods, numerical validation, fabrication, and experimental design
• Experience in laboratory work and R & D of RF systems, preferably wireless communication and sensing networks.
• Publication record in top-tier journals
• Experience with mentorship and supervision of graduate and undergraduate students
• Experience in contributing to the planning, writing, and execution of grant proposals
• Experience with relevant software (e.g. C/C++, Python, ...) and equipment (VNAs, anechoic chamber positioners and setups)
• PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a related field.
• Strong verbal, written, and organizational skills

Salary and Benefits package: A competitive salary with full benefits will be offered based on the candidate's experience.

About the M3 Lab: The Microwave, Millimetre-wave, and MetaDevices (M3) Laboratory is located within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alberta in beautiful Edmonton, Canada. The M3 Lab is fully equipped with an array of microwave and antenna design, fabrication, and test facilities, including a planar/cylindrical/spherical near-field anechoic chamber up to 40 GHz and laser-based precision PCB fabrication. The Director of the M3 Lab is one of its founders, Prof. Ashwin K. Iyer. The lab's presence continues to grow with major infrastructure efforts and new funding from commercial and defence partners.
