About this role
Personeelstype: Wetenschappelijk personeel - Vakgebied: Universitaire hoofddocent - Organisatie: Department of Electrical Engineering - Solliciteer uiterlijk: 18-10-2026 - Voltijds equivalent: 0.8 - 1.0 FTE - Salaris: € 5.932 - € 8.199 Introduction The drive towards improving performance in wired/wireless communications and advanced sensing, is pushing the integration of analog/RF/mm-wave and mixed-signal systems. In these domains, energy-efficient wideband signal processing and programmability to accommodate different use cases are becoming essential. Increasingly, overall system performance is no longer limited solely by the front-end, but by the interface between the analog and digital domains. Addressing this challenge requires tight co-design across RF, intermediate frequency (IF) and mixed-signal circuits. Such integration is critical for achieving power-efficient operation, programmability, high linearity and low-noise signal conditioning including optimal dynamic range and bandwidth utilization. This position offers a unique opportunity to drive research at this critical intersection. You will contribute to the development of scalable, high-performance semiconductor solutions that meet the growing demands for energy efficiency, bandwidth, dynamic range and programmability in next-generation integrated circuit technologies. Job Description You will play a major role in advancing the research, education, and innovation activities of the Integrated Circuits (IC) group , contributing to its strategic development and international position in semiconductor research. In this role, you will: - Develop further and lead the research line in the IC group focusing on the IF section of communication and sensing systems. This includes advancing novel concepts, architectures and integrated circuit design, focusing on energy efficient signal conditioning between analog/RF/mmWave front-ends and digital domains including energy effi...
