The ETH AI Center promotes trustworthy, accessible, and inclusive AI
systems. For this goal, we bring together interdisciplinary research teams
of AI foundations, applications, and implications across all departments
and look at AI from many different angles like mathematical principles,
medicine, architecture, robotics, and social sciences/future of work. We
enable research of high quality, industry innovation, and AI
entrepreneurship.


The ETH AI Center faculty comprises over 110 professorships representing
all sixteen departments of ETH Zurich and five external research groups
(from the University of Zurich and the University of St.Gallen). The ETH AI
Center Fellowship program is one of Europe’s premier PhD programs focused
on advancing interdisciplinary AI research. This can be inside AI
foundations or between AI foundations and application areas. Fellows work
with two excellent PIs who are from different fields and carry equal
weights in the supervision.


*Job description*

Within the doctoral fellowship program, you will conduct research that
impacts the future of AI. You will be working on your project (that you
will propose) and continuously have the opportunity to exchange with other
teams and professorships, participate at faculty retreats, symposia,
summits etc. Fellows have their primary office at the ETH AI Center and
enjoy excellent employment conditions. The centre offers plenty of
opportunities to strengthen your career path through an optional
entrepreneurial or industry track that provides you with valuable hands-on
experience to turn your research into practical impact.


*Your profile*

– you are expected to have completed or be close to completing a
Master’s degree in computer science, machine learning, statistics, physics,
engineering, applied mathematics, or other relevant fields or are close to
completion.
– you have an excellent track record and must meet the general admission
requirements for a doctorate at ETH Zurich (available at
https://www.ethz.ch/en/doctorate.html).
– your level of English allows you to discuss your topics with your
colleagues and report your findings in writing.
– you look forward to working with an interdisciplinary team that longs
to find solutions together.


*We offer*

We offer 5 – 8 doctoral positions and the occupation normally runs for
three years. For Fellows with good progress, it can be extended for a
maximum of one year to complete the doctoral thesis (decision to be taken
by the ETH AI Center Doctoral Selection Committee, without additional
interviews). Starting date is flexible.

– Transparent salary: CHF 70,300 in the first year, CHF 75,300 in the
second year, and CHF 80,320 in the third year. The advancements are
automatic.
– Co-mentorship by two excellent PIs from different fields
– training and continuing education activities and language courses
– services and offerings to support work and family life


*How to apply*

The deadline for applications is November 30, 2022. Please note that we
exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application
