The intelligent car of the future

The research group of the Chair in Smart Industry is looking for a candidate to research in the design of intelligent functions and services to improve the experience of car passengers. To do that, we will access large datasets with information about the state of the car cabin and the car’s environment, and we will study how to learn efficient and scalable representations that make it possible for different models to detect specific situations or events of interest. We will study and compare different representation learning (deep learning) techniques. The candidate will work on a real project promoted by an important player in the automotive industry.

Requirements:

Good programming skills (Python required, with good command of deep learning libraries like Pytorch). Solid theoretical and practical concepts about representation learning (architectures, optimization of model weights, testing, etc.).

It offers:

Annual full-time contract for the development of projects. Besides, the Research Assistant could take training activities. This modality allows the Research Assistant to establish a very close professional relationship with the companies with which he/she collaborates, thus nourishing his/her research with the experience accumulated during the projects. Although this modality does not necessarily require enrolling in any program, the Research Assistant can apply for a PhD after the first two years. The Research Assistant is hired each year for a maximum period of 6. If he or she is not enrolled in a PhD program the contract cannot exceed two years. The gross salary of the first year is € 25.020,62 for 2022. In addition, the IIT covers 90% of the cost of training activities and the Research Assistant will have access to all the services offered by the University (Sports, Cultural Activities, Library, etc.).

Documents:

Curriculum vitae, academic record, cover letter and two recommendation letters.
