Job Title: 1 Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher (ESR)/ Ph.D.
Info: http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess/index.cfm/org/previewJV/34034558
Job summary: OTE ACADEMY (www.oteacademy.com) offers one Early Stage
Researcher (ESR) position in the context of the H2020 Innovative Training Network
project 5Gwireless, focused on Innovative Architectures, Wireless Technologies and
Tools for High Capacity and Sustainable 5G Ultra-Dense Cellular Networks.
We are looking for highly motivated, enthusiastic junior scientists, with an MSc in
electrical engineering or related fields, aiming at significantly improving their career
perspectives in both public and private sectors. A background in mobile networks,
wireless communications theory, signal processing, information theory, and
stochastic geometry would be positively considered. Excellent research skills and
analytical abilities are required, fluency in English (spoken and written), proactive
communication skills and problem solving as part of a team, strong record keeping,
great work ethic and initiatives are essential characteristics.
Job description: The 5Gwireless project involves 5 leading universities/research
institutions and 5 industrial partners from 6 different EU countries, offering an intersector training approach by exploiting the scientific and the industrial expertise of
the consortium. 5Gwireless will recruit 15 ESRs having the objective of conducting
top-notch research at the national, European and international levels. All recruited
ESRs will receive personalized training and will conduct theoretical and applied
research on fundamental challenges to the development of 5G systems and
networks.
OFFERED POSITIONS:
In this context, one Ph.D. position is offered by OTE ACADEMY at Athens (Greece).
ESR Position: Load-aware modeling and performance evaluation of optimal cell
association, offloading and load balancing
The research objective of this ESR will be twofold: 1) To develop realistic and
tractable approaches for modeling network traffic and load of multi-tier cellular
network deployments, and 2) to exploit such modeling for performance evaluation
and optimization based on load/traffic-optimal cell association, offloading and load
balancing. Within the project, the ESR is expected to acquire new knowledge on
traffic modeling for integration into random spatial models of base station locations
and to provide new distributed algorithms for load-aware and interference-aware
cellular network optimization.
Mobility requirement: Within the duration of the project, the ESR will perform a
secondment of up-to 6 months at the Technical University of Dresden (Germany).
APPLICATION DETAILS:
To apply, please provide:
1) a cover letter detailing your suitability for the position in question;
2) a detailed CV;
3) the name and address of two referees to support your application.

All applications should be sent by email to [email protected] and
[email protected].
All applications will be evaluated by a committee with equality and based strictly on
the candidates skills, whereas issues as gender, ethnicity, disability, etc. will be
irrelevant to the selection.
The closing date for applications is 10 October 2015.
Benefits:
These positions are fully funded for 3 years by the European Commission under the
H2020 Marie Curie Innovative Training Network Program. Marie Curie ITNs provide
competitive financial support to the
ESR including:
a competitive monthly living and mobility allowance,
coverage of the expenses related to the participation of the ESR in research

and training activities (contribution to research-related costs, meetings, conference
attendance, training actions, etc.).
The recruited researchers will have a regular contract with the same rights and
obligations as any other staff member of OTEacademy. The ESRs should start within
2 months of the acceptance of the fellowship.
The recruited ESRs will be highly encouraged, but not required, to enroll to the Ph.D.
program of a local University in Athens (Greece).
ELIGIBILITY
The recruited researchers should be, at the time of selection, in the first four
years of their research careers (measured from the date when they obtained the
degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate).
The applicants should not be in possession of a doctoral degree, but they

should have the qualifications to embark on a PhD program.
The applicants (regardless of their nationalities) must not have resided or

carried out their main activities (work, studies, etc.) in Greece for more than 12
months in the last 3 years.
5Gwireless is the first integrated and multi-disciplinary training-through-research
network of ESRs and Senior Supervisors, fully committed to re-architecting current
cellular principles aiming at making 5G a reality. It will define and optimize radicallychanging architectures and technologies, leading to a wholesale re-thinking of
cellular operational principles and architectures, network topologies, transmission
technologies and methods to their analysis, design and optimization.
Structure of ITN-5Gwireless:
5Gwireless is organized in the following 4 technical Work Packages (WPs):
- WP1: Large-Scale (Massive) Multiple-Antenna Technologies
- WP2: mmWave Communications
- WP3: Transmission Protocols for Smart Devices
- WP4: Ultra-Dense Cellular Networks Modeling
Partners of ITN-5Gwireless:
5Gwireless is constituted by 10 European partners, 5 from academia and 5 from
industry:
- Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona, Spain
- French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), Paris, France
- Technical University of Dresden (TUD), Dresden, Germany
- Linkoping University (LiU), Linkoping, Sweden
- Heriot-Watt University (HWU), Edinburgh, United Kingdom
- ERICSSON Research, Stockholm, Sweden
- OTEacademy, Athens, Greece
- IQUADRAT, Barcelona, Spain
- SIRADEL, Rennes, France
- TTINORTE, Santander, Spain
