Phd Scholarship Programme

The Applied Artificial Intelligence Unit of Eurecat develops innovative solutions (algorithms, methods, platforms) based on a combination of artificial intelligence and knowledge management technologies, especially for the industrial, energy and sustainability sectors. The Eurecat Applied Artificial Intelligence Unit in partnership with the UAB university seeks a PhD student to study the vehicle-grid interaction. He/she will develop statistical and AI models, and he/she will design control and optimization strategies to optimize the entire charging chain from energy provision to the end user. This work will be developed in the context of the XL-Connect Horizon Europe project.Functions and Responsibilities The PhD student will study, design and implement algorithms for smart and advanced charging solutions.Participate and lead scientific publications.Develop, validate, and maintain code.Participate in group meetings and conferences.Conduct research, write drafts of scientific papers, and deliver a PhD thesis.Provide R&D support to other colleagues.Requirements Studies and Knowledge: Advanced university degree (Master's degree or equivalent) in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or related disciplines.Proven experience working with Python, reusable code, and software documentation.Other programming languages such as C++ will be positively valued.Soft Skills: Ability to work in a multidisciplinary team.Ability to work autonomously and communicate/document results in a comprehensible and professional way.Demonstrate excellent communication skills as well as adaptability and creativity.A certain degree of mobility is expected due to PhD requirements (Conferences and Institutional visits).Availability to perform an internship in a project partner institution.Languages: High oral and written communication skills in English.Knowledge of Catalan or Spanish is desirable.#J-18808-Ljbffr
