• I am looking for the best candidates who satisfy all mandatory qualifications, and it will be a clear advantage to satisfy the non-mandatory qualifications.

• Before applying, please make sure that you have the information theory and/or communication theory background in the broad sense. Otherwise, this position is probably not a good match for you.

• This is a position that requires teaching for the Lehrstuhl für Nachrichtentechnik, which has multiple courses in German in addition to some English ones that I will open in the next two semesters. Therefore, German is a plus. See some of our courses and laboratories here.

3) Career coaching to prepare you for academic and/or industry careers after your PhD

4) You will be hired 100% as an employee of TU Dortmund for 3 years with possible extension, which includes full coverage of German public health insurance and other great benefits. You can check with ChatGPT or a similar tool to see what a "TVL-E13" employment at a university includes!  

5) A resilient and future-proof approach to future communication and computation systems.

• The preferred starting time would be early 2026, but I will be open for discussions also for later times if you pass the first step of short-listing.
