Job Description
mmWave Sensing Postdoc - 97249
Division: CE-Climate & Ecosystems
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s (LBNL, https://www.lbl.gov/) Climate & Ecosystems Division and Nuclear Science Division has an opening for a mmWave Sensing Postdoc to join the team.
In this exciting role, you will develop and implement novel sensing and networking technologies for advanced situational awareness and observations of atmospheric and geophysical properties in urban environments, as well as in natural ecosystems. The postdoc will work with a multi-disciplinary group of scientists to explore mmWave signals (e.g., in 5G networks) for field observations.
What You Will Do:
• Study environmental effects (human activities, precipitation, vegetation, etc) on mmWave propagation
• Develop and evaluate instrumentation for mmWave sensing (data acquisition, processing, and
connectivity)
• Develop signal processing routines and edge computing algorithms for in-situ data processing
• Conduct laboratory and field tests of the developed technology
• Ability to work as a member of a large multidisciplinary research team.
(Co-) author peer-reviewed journal articles and technical reports

• Knowledge in communication technologies (e.g., 5G) and RF propagation
• Proficiency in written and oral dissemination of scientific results
• Ability to work independently and in collaboration in a research environment
Desired Qualifications:
• Experience in AI/ML algorithms
• Experience in mmWave technology
Requested Application Material:
1. Curriculum Vitae and publication list
2. Statement of research experience and interests. (3-page maximum, excluding figures and references)
