Institute for Networked Systems at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, has two (2) Ph.D. positions open. The institute is a part of the faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. Ph.D. positions are not fixed to any particular research project, but our current research interest include topics in self-organized networks, cognitive radios, future wireless networks, network science, and media access methods. 

A successful candidate should have a M.Sc degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Applied Mathematics or Physics with strong research interests. A fluency in English is required. The research group is extremely international and our daily working language is English. The candidate should be able to demonstrate strong academic achievements, and any previous exposure in research would be considered a plus. A strong mathematical and/or programming skills are required. 

The initial funded position is offered for 12-18 months, depending on the background of the student. After successful evaluation the contract can be extended to be in total up to five years. The Ph.D. studentship in iNETS is fundamentally a research position that requires working in research projects and conducting independent research, the departmental duties vary but are minimized to be at most 20% of time (typically being working as a teaching assistant in related courses). 

Two offered positions are full-time Ph.D. research assistant positions with salary according the German national researcher salary scheme Tv-L. The salary is very competitive compared to most other similar academic positions internationally. The package include also norma Germanl employment benefits including health insurance and holiday allocation.
