Applications are being sought for 15 fully funded PhD positions covering all aspects of AI in road safety: engineering, human factors, computer science, ethics of technology, and more.
Available through the IVORY network, every PhD position is shared between an academic host and an industry host. The admitted applicant will be enrolled in a PhD program at the relevant academic host institution for the entire duration of the PhD (which can differ from country to country).
However, they will spend 50% of the PhD at the relevant industry host; in many of the positions, additional short secondments are foreseen in order to develop specific skills and work on specific aspects of the PhD.
During the trajectory, there will be several training sessions, as well as several consortium meetings in which all PhD students of the network will participate and share their knowledge with one another.
Every PhD position is entitled to the regular PhD requirements of the relevant academic host (e.g. coursework, mid-term evaluation, final thesis, etc.).
