Openings

Multiple (graduate, postdoc, internship, developer) openings are available in the Laboratory for NextG AI-enabled Wireless XR Network Systems and Societal Applications at NJIT directed by Professor Jacob Chakareski, supported by federal/industry/university funded cutting-edge projects. The lab is hosted in the Ying Wu College of Computing at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). It features state-of-the-art equipment: large 3D immersion displays, high-definition visual/range sensors, virtual and augmented reality (XR) head-mounted displays, UAV-IoT devices, and 5G/LTE-A MIMO SDR boards. The graduate positions are fully funded (competitive academic year stipend/tuition and summer support) for a period of four years and are available immediately. The postdoc openings are organized on a multiple-year basis, and renewed every year subject to meeting performance expectations. The developer openings feature flexible working hours, require experience in Unity 3D, C#, and JavaScript, and can be part time/remote work. The internship positions are generally available in the summer, but can be adapted to other periods of the year, with mutual agreement.

The accepted candidates will work on cutting edge research in one or multiple of the following areas: mobile XR systems and synergies with computer vision, machine learning and HCI; physics-aware reinforcement learning (RL) and applications; 5G edge computing and network architectures; UAV-IoT sensing and networking; millimeter wave/free-space optical mobile networking; multi-connectivity scalable 360-degree video streaming; deep RL for AI-enabled networks; neural enhanced video streaming; and encoding and communication of 3D scene representations. We also explore novel interdisciplinary applications in remote sensing, disaster relief, environmental monitoring, and intelligent cyber-physical health care systems and devices.

Skills required from postdoctoral applicants:
- Strong background in one or multiple of the areas of interest noted above
- Very good publication record in top academic conferences and journals
- Excellent analytical, technical and problem solving skills
- Interest in mentoring graduate students
- Very good organization and communication skills

We always welcome visitors and interns that can synergize with our team and interests.
