Offer Description

IVORY – ‘AI for Vision Zero in Road Safety’ is an Horizon Europe Marie Curie Industrial Doctorates network, aiming to develop a new framework for the integration of AI in road safety and create a new generation of leading researchers in the field, in order to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals target 3.6 (halving the number of traffic fatalities by 2030) and EC ‘Vision Zero’ strategy (eliminating traffic fatalities by 2050). IVORY consists of 4 academic and 8 non-academic beneficiaries, as well as 8 associated partners, joining from engineering, data science and ethics of technology disciplines from 10 countries.

Would you like to make an impact in the reduction of road traffic fatalities around the world? Are you passionate about research and development on emerging technologies? Are you ready to become one of the future leading researchers in the field of AI in road safety?

IVORY has 15 fully funded PhD positions available on road user assistance and infrastructure safety management, and will create a sustainable learning and networking platform.

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 - for more details on this, check with Recruitment - ivory-network.eu ). However, he/she 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.).
