PhD Positions
Become a part of the FutureArctic network!
FutureArctic offers a training at the inter-sectoral edge of computer science, artificial intelligence, environmental science, online sensor engineering and social sciences, by building a pioneer ‘ecosystem-of-things’ at the http://Forhot.is natural laboratory.
We recruit 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), who will be incorporated in a multidisciplinary and international research team. Each ESR will be hosted in a beneficiary institution and will receive additional training during secondments at the industrial and other academic partners’ facilities.
All positions are filled in!
