A 12-month postdoctoral fellowship will be awarded to work on a joint research project between the following Brazilian universities: UFMG, UFES, UFRGS, Unicamp, and Unisinos. The work location is preferably at UFMG in Belo Horizonte, but may be in one of the other partner cities. The selected candidate will work with researchers from the consortium. The cities selected are: Belo Horizonte-MG, Vitória-ES, Porto Alegre-RS, and Campinas-SP.

The fellowships are part of the project "Programming, Orchestration, and Virtualization in 5G Networks" (PORVIR-5G), based at UFMG, which aims to develop new architectures and mechanisms to improve 5G networks in general. The postdoctoral candidate will work on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in the orchestration of 5G, B5G, and 6G networks, as well as network slicing and virtual network programming.
