Descripción

Who are we looking for?
- and resource-consuming. On the other, conventional architectures generally ignore the topology of the network (i.e., how users, terminals and base stations are deployed). As a result, they often yield poor performance in large scale networks (i.e., poor scalability) and unseen network settings (i.e., poor generalization). The exploitation of advanced tools such as
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) schemes,
Transfer Learning (TL) techniques, or
_Graph_ Neural Networks
(GNNs) can be instrumental in overcoming such limitations. Hence, we will investigate how to leverage those tools to tackle challenging problems in the design of the 6G physical layer** such as precoder design, user grouping, or beam selection in massive MIMO scenarios. Further details of the research project see annex (at the end).


What do we offer?
The duration of the contract is 4 years, starting in Q2-Q3/2023.

As per the MICINN call conditions, the salary of the research fellow will be in accordance with the conditions in the official call.

Who are we?

  • The Center Tecnològic de Telecomunicaciones de Catalunya (CTTC) is a nonprofit
    public sector research institution dedicated to fundamental and applied research activities, focused mainly on technologies related to the physical, data link and network layers of communication systems and Geomatics.
  • CTTC received the "HR Excellence in Research" award in 2015 from the European Commission and successfully passed into the Award Renewal phase in 2023. This is a recognition of the Institute's commitment to develop a Human Resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R), designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (Charter and Code). Our institution's comprehensive analysis and HRS4R action plan meet all the requirements of progress and quality of our HR policies. CTTC promotes itself as a provider of a stimulating and favourable work environment for researchers.
  • The CTTC is located in the beautiful Mediterranean Technological Park of Castelldefels, a science park that houses the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, research institutions, innovative companies and startups. The PMT-UPC is located 10 minutes' walk from the beach and the city center of Castelldefels, also close to childcare centers, public schools and the best international schools. It can be reached by car, train (RENFE) and various bus lines.
  • We have 2 buildings on campus, with stateoftheart facilities, comfortable work spaces, meeting rooms, and multipurpose spaces, as well as social spaces.
  • The institute has
    a multicultural environment with more than 130 members (scientific, technical and administrative staff) from all over the world.


CTTC offers and promotes a diverse and inclusive environment and welcomes applicants regardless of age, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
