Researchers wanted! Scholarships for students at Orange 5G Lab in Iasi

29 mai 2023

Scholarships are offered within the Iasi Orange 5G Lab for PhD, MSc and BSc students through the Orange Educational Program.

The scholars will handle 5G communications (including vehicular C-V2X) activities such as modeling and simulation of communication protocols, simulation of wireless communications applications, understanding specific equipment and its operation, design and running experiments to assess applications for interconnected traffic participants and infrastructure, as well as for other 5G specific use cases.

The scholars will also participate in academic activities, research, and innovation in the 5G communications field and related domains such as 6G, IoT, Smart Cities, Connected Autonomous Vehicles, Multi-access Edge Computing, Artificial Intelligence in Wireless Communications, and their applications, etc.

The scholarship is granted for a period of at least 6 months, amounts to minimum 700 Euro net per month for PhD student (based on interview evaluation), minimum 400 Euro net per month for MSc student (based on interview evaluation) and minimum 200 Euro per month for Bachelor student (based on interview evaluation). The scholar cannot combine the scholarship to another working contract with a different company. However, the scholarship can be combined with other contractual forms with the university such as scholarships or research contracts.

Applicants shall send a CV containing relevant information and motivation by email to 5G-Lab@etti.tuiasi.ro by 2023, June 11th. Scholars shall be selected after interview evaluations of the applicants.

Role details

The role is based in Iasi, in the Orange 5G Lab located within the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ETTI). The applicant shall be a student of ETTI or of the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computer Engineering (AC) from Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi (TUIASI). The scholars will be open to support the project Trials supported by Smart Networks beyond 5G – TrialsNet. The scholars will co-work with other colleagues in the Iasi Orange 5G Lab on assigned tasks and will report to the lab coordinator from TUIASI side.
