All prospective graduate students looking to study and work within the Wireless Lab must first be accepted by INRS University and be eligible to its own graduate scholarship programs (INRS Scholarships). View information regarding applications and enrollment in the graduate programs (How to apply) available at INRS’ website <www.inrs.ca>. Notice that admission to a research program (with master's thesis or doctoral dissertation) is conditional upon acceptance by the Wireless Lab’s Team Leader, Prof. Sofiene Affes, who will direct your work.

The recruitment process is always open. Prof. Affes is looking for students with firm commitment to excellence in all aspects of their life. He values students eager to pursuing an academic career and who are willing to put in the sweat equity to make that happen. Equally, students that have an eye on entrepreneurship and want to bring fundamental innovations in wireless communications to fruition do impress him.
