Sunday, March 22, 2009
Closing date: 5.00pm, 31st March 2009Department of Electronic, Communication and Software Engineering
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in GNSS Signal Processing Structures and Architectures. This studentship is funded by the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and is part of a wider project involving four universities (Nottingham, UCL, Imperial College London and the University of Westminster) and nine commercial companies and government agencies. The project involves collaborative research focussing on the exploitation of new Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals.
This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate with a good undergraduate degree (minimum 2.1 or equivalent) and preferably a Master degree (or equivalent) in any Electronic, Communication or Control Engineering, or Applied Physics. The successful candidate will be based formally at the University of Westminster, but will be expected to collaborate extensively with the other partners of the ‘New Signals' consortium.
