The Information and Communication Theory (ICT) Lab @TU/e is recruiting at all levels in the areas of communication and information theory.

The joint project "Post Shannon Communication," is being funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). In this joint project, transmission systems that go beyond Shannon's communication approach are to be developed in order to achieve more efficient information transmission for selected applications. The position is initially limited to three years. An extension is possible.
