PhD Position in Agentic AI for 6G Network Resource Management, TU Delft (Future Network Services)

Job Description

TU Delft has a PhD position in agentic AI for 6G networks. Future 6G networks will run many AI agents that manage radio, transport, computing and services. You will develop learning methods that help these agents work together when their goals clash. The PhD is part of the Dutch Future Network Services (FNS) flagship project.

What the agentic AI 6G PhD works on

• Learning methods to coordinate many AI agents under changing network conditions, missing information and operating limits
• Constrained and optimistic online learning, distributed learning and online game-theoretic methods
• Application 1: resource management across network domains for AI-enabled services
• Application 2: resilient network operation, including fault diagnosis, root-cause analysis and automatic repair
• Testing on FNS use cases, network data and experimental infrastructure with industry partners

Why this role matters

Each AI agent in a 6G network may tune its own part well and still hurt the whole system. Making agents from different vendors cooperate is an open research problem. The FNS project brings about 60 Dutch ICT companies, chip firms and research groups together, so your methods can reach real 6G test beds and demos.

What TU Delft is looking for

• An MSc in a relevant computer science discipline, or close to finishing one
• Interest in combining theory with practice
• Good English, written and spoken
• TU Delft’s PhD admission requirements; selection uses your academic record, interviews and possibly assignments

Pay follows the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities: €3,204 gross a month in the first year, rising to €4,051 in the fourth, for a full-time 38-hour week. There is an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% year-end bonus. The four years come as a 1.5-year contract with a go/no-go review within 15 months, then a 2.5-year contract. TU Delft runs a knowledge-security risk assessment in the final stage of selection. You also get training in 5G and beyond networks, AI and software development, and access to a 6G test bed.
