Post-Doctoral / Research Engineer Position M/F (Reference: CS/RK/6G/PostDoc/032023)

In the context of a running Horizon Europe project, CoreNext - https://www.barkhauseninstitut.org/en/corenext-trustworthiness-and-sust…, EURECOM is engaged alongside academic and industrial partners to devise EU-sovereign computing and communications technologies for 5G/6G disaggregated networking components. For EURECOM, this will involve evolution of OpenAirInterface (OAI) 5G prototyping software solutions to encorporate new hardware accelerator technologies such as those found on current generation DPU.  Porting of OAI to open-hardware architectures such as RISC-V will be coupled with acceleration solutions from partners both for baseband and user-plane packet processing functions. Trustworthy solutions for multi-vendor/tentant data-center deployments will be targeted. Candidates will be expected to produce cutting-edge prototyping solutions and disseminate in the highest quality IEEE/ACM conferences and journals.
