The CHEDDAR Hub Project - 7 x Research Fellows (EPSEE1125)

The UK Wireless Infrastructure Strategy aim to put the country at the forefront of pioneering research and development in the field of 6G technologies. As part of the Communications Hub for Empowering Distributed Cloud Computing Applications and Research (CHEDDAR), we are focused on advancing the integration of UK expertise in communications and networking to maintain the country's leadership in 6G technologies. Our research is generously funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Department of Science, Innovation, and Technologies (DSIT). By joining our team, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with leading experts nationwide and contribute to groundbreaking projects in the field.

As part of the CHEDDAR Hub, you will work alongside a diverse group of researchers dedicated to pushing the boundaries of 6G technology. The seven Research Fellows will be required to work together as a team as the research areas are closely interlinked. The areas of research include 6G Cloud Native Radio Access Networks, Edge Computing for 6G Networks, Foundation Models for 6G Networks, Green AutoML for 6G Edge-Fog-Cloud Continuum, Integrated Sensing and Communication in Cloud Native 6G Networks, Applications and Architecture for Radio Intelligence Controller and Open Radio Access Networks. General enquires about particular positions can be made to the named contact for the role, including the PI: S.A.Zaidi@leeds.ac.uk

The seven positions available across the CHEDDAR project are listed below. If you wish to apply for more than one role, you will be required to submit an application for each role.
