Doctoral student in signal processing for underwater systemsThird-cycle subject: Information and Communication Technology
Recent events in the Baltic Sea have demonstrated the vulnerability of critical underwater infrastructure, such as gas pipelines and submarine cables. New technologies for monitoring marine environments are needed to increase security around critical underwater infrastructure and thereby increase the protection of our society and marine environment. A key component required to develop these new technologies is scalable and resource-efficient methods for reconnaissance and communication in underwater environments.
Today, sensing and communication are separate processes in most underwater systems, and sensing and communication follow a predefined pattern. This causes a suboptimal utilization of resources, such as energy, bandwidth, etc. But thanks to technological advancements, it is now realistic to imagine systems that integrate sensing and communication into a single task and intelligently adapt their behavior to the situation at hand. Thereby, the systems will be better able to utilize available resources and enable large-scale monitoring of marine environments. Within this PhD project, you will contribute to developing theory and methods for integrated sensing and communication within underwater systems.
The exact research direction within the overall research area of underwater signal processing and communication can be tailored to your interests. A few possible directions are the research and development of methods for a) distributed sensor fusion and communication in underwater sensor networks; b) estimation and identification of underwater acoustic propagation models; and c) sensor management and path planning for marine vessels. Theory and methods from signal processing, communication theory, optimization, and machine learning will be essential to the research.
What we offer- The possibility to study in a dynamic and international research environment in collaboration with industries and prominent universities from all over the world.
- A workplace with many employee benefits and monthly salary according to KTH's Doctoral student salary agreement.
- A postgraduate education at an institution that is active and supportive in matters pertaining to working conditions, gender equality and diversity as well as study environment.
- Work and study in Stockholm, close to nature and the water.
- Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH.
To be admitted to postgraduate education (Chapter 7, 39 § Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following:
- passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree), or
- completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or
- acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, substantially equivalent knowledge
In addition to the above, there is also a mandatory requirement for English equivalent to English B/6.
SelectionIn order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work. During the selection process, candidates will be assessed upon their ability to:
- independently pursue his or her work
- collaborate with others
- have a professional approach

After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.
Information regarding admission and employmentOnly those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g. training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. In the case of studies that are to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for two years.
To apply for the positionApply for the position and admission through KTH's recruitment system. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the application is complete in accordance with the instructions in the advertisement.
Applications must be received at the last closing date at midnight, CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time).
Applications must include the following elements:
- CV including your relevant professional experience and knowledge.
- Copies of diplomas and grades from previous university studies and certificates of fulfilled language requirements. Translations into English or Swedish if the original document is not issued in one of these languages. Copies of originals must be certified.
- Representative publications or technical reports. For longer documents, please provide a summary (abstract) and a web link to the full text.
Striving towards gender equality, diversity and equal conditions is both a question of quality for KTH and a given part of our values.
It may be the case that a position at KTH is classified as a security-sensitive role in accordance with the Protective Security Act (2018:585). If this applies to the specific position, a security clearance will be conducted for the applicant in accordance with the same law with the applicant's consent. In such cases, a prerequisite for employment is that the applicant is approved following the security clearance.
We firmly decline all contact with staffing, recruitment agencies and job ad salespersons.
