Center for TeleInFrastruktur – India (CTIF-India) has been established as collaboration between CTIF, Aalborg University, Denmark and Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, University of Calcutta for research in the area of Wireless Communication Technology. CTIF-India will recruit a Research Scholar to carry out a research project sponsored by Wireless Innovation Platform (WIP) Labs, Denmark.

Operational Details

• The Research Fellowship will be offered under a Sponsored Project to be executed at
  (i) CTIF-India, Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, University of Calcutta, Kolkata, India,
  (ii) CTIF, Aalborg University, Denmark,
  (iii) WIP Labs, Denmark,
  (iv) any other CTIF organisation
• The topics of research will be:
  (a) Wireless Personal Network,
  (b) Development and Planning of Converged Networks.
• Supervision of the work will be conducted jointly.
• The Fellowship will ordinarily be for four years.
• The Fellow will primarily work at CTIF-India. He/she will be allowed two trips to Aalborg University (or other establishments mentioned above) for carrying out the project during the fellowship period: the first would be toward the end of the first year or beginning of the second year, and the second toward the end of fourth year, that is, toward the completion of the project.
• The duration of each stay abroad will be about three months.
• The Fellow will be allowed two travels (by AC 3-Tier Rly) per year to attend conferences/symposia in India but only as an author of paper(s) accepted for presentation.
• The Fellow will be allowed one foreign trip every two years to present paper(s) as author in Conferences/Symposia abroad, as approved by CTIF.

A Note on the Research Topics

• Wireless Personal Network would be for allowing connectivity of user owned networks over heterogeneous radio access technologies.
• Development and Planning Wired and Wireless Network deployment is done independently. However, there is a high level of synergy between both planning and operating wired and wireless networks. The project would involve converging wired and wireless network planning.

Fellowship details:

• While working at CTIF-India, the fellowship will be Rs. 25,000.00 per month for the first two years and Rs. 35,000.00 per month for the subsequent years.
• The Contingency grant will be Rs. 30,000.00 per year.
• The grant available for domestic travel and attending conferences in India will be Rs. 30,000.00 per year.
• During stay abroad, at AAU or WIP Labs or any other CTIF establishment outside India for project work, the Fellowship will nominally be 1000 Euros per month. The amount may be enhanced if necessary depending on the price index of the country prevalent at that time.
• The cost of all foreign air-travels will be borne by the sponsoring organization.

QUALIFICATIONS ESSENTIAL FOR CANDIDATURE:

• M. Tech. in Electronics and Communication from a recognized University.
• (Post-B.Sc.) B. Tech. in Radio Physics and Electronics of University of Calcutta or its equivalent, followed by at least 3 years’ experience of working in the area of Wireless Communication, supported preferably by journal / conference publications.
• M. Sc. in Physics with advanced papers on Electronics.

Desirable in addition to any of the above qualifications:
Industrial experience of about 3 years in product development.
