Vacancies

Fully paid 4 years Ph.D. positions within the Electromagnetics Group

At present several fully paid 4 years Ph.D. positions are available
within the Electromagnetics Group of the Dept. of Information
Technology. Apart from a Master’s degree in Electrical or Physical
Engineering and good knowledge of English, basic (graduate) knowledge
in Electromagnetics and high-frequency electronics is sufficient. The
Ph.D. candidate will be provided with all guidance and hardware and
software tools necessary to perform state-of-the art research in one
of the following fields:
·High-frequency behavior of Integrated Circuits (ICs) with a special
focus on ICs for the automotive industry. This research will be
conducted in cooperation with Flemish industry partners, such as
Melexis and ON Semiconductor, and also within a consortium of
well-known European electronics manufacturers, such as Philips, NXP,
Bosch, Infineon, …
·Flexible and implantable antennas (in cooperation with Recticel and
Flanders’ Drive)
·Design and modeling of advanced submicron interconnect technologies
of ICs (in cooperation with Agilent Technologies)
·Advanced time-domain (FDTD) and finite element (FE) techniques for
the simulation of antennas for usage within the ADS-framework of
Agilent Technologies
·Detection of concealed objects with millimeter waves (within a
Strategic Basic Research project of the IWT) and early detection of
breast tumors
·Fast Maxwell solvers for very large and complex structures in
cooperation with foreign research groups in the USA, Finland, Italy,
Turkey, and Israel.

As a researcher within the Electromagnetics Group, you will be part of
a team that has reached the top of the international scientific
community for more than 20 years and this will allow you to fully
develop your creative abilities. During these four years, you will
regularly take part in international congresses and upon your request
an internship in a foreign research group can be arranged. The Ph.D.
research itself can be focused on more fundamental investigations as
well as on innovative applied research in close collaboration with
industry.

Through intensive coaching by senior researchers and professors and
through cooperation with the Electromagnetics Group’s academic and
industrial partners, the candidate will be trained as a highly skilled
scientist and design engineer. Upon completion of the four years
program, the Ph.D. graduate will be ready for a successful academic
career or to hold an important position in a high-tech company.

Interested candidates are requested to send their curriculum to Dr. D.
Vande Ginste (dries.vande. ginste@intec. UGent.be), Prof. H. Rogier
(hendrik.rogier@ UGent.be), or Prof. D. De Zutter (Fellow IEEE)
(daniel.dezutter@ UGent.be). Please provide sufficient details on the
Electromagnetics and high-frequency electronics courses in your
curriculum.
