    • Host – ISRD
    • Objective: Full-duplex vRAN resource scheduling procedures enabling optical virtualization and performance evaluation.

 

Benefits

  • The financial package* will include a monthly researcher allowance (€4,000) (living and mobility), and an additional family allowance (€660) top-up subject to eligibility requirements.
  • All EWOC fellows will be enrolled in PhD doctoral programs and tuition fees are free of charge during the contracted period of 36 months.
  • In addition to their individual scientific projects, all fellows will benefit from further continuing education, which includes internships and secondments, a variety of training modules as well as transferable skills acquired through an extensive learning program.

* The final net salary is dependent on local tax regulation and weighted against the EU country coefficient factor (to factor-in the cost of living in different EU Member States).
