TU Delft opens up 32 positions for PhD students in AI (related) research

News - 01 March 2021

TU Delft is recruiting 32 talented PhD students to become a member of a thriving Artificial Intelligence (AI) community that fosters cross-fertilisation between talents with different expertise and disciplines. The positions are aimed at both AI experts as well as those who wish to apply AI in their Science, Technology, Engineering or Design field. By the end of 2021, there will be around 150 academics from all eight faculties of TU Delft working in 24 TU Delft AI Labs.

The PhD students will join the TU Delft AI-Labs programme. Each TU Delft AI Lab consists of a team of talented scientists, uniting those who are conducting research into AI with those who conduct research in another domain. Each team is driven by research questions which arise from scientific and societal challenges and contribute to the development and execution of domain specific education. This way, the labs have the opportunity to push the boundaries of science by using AI.

TU Delft has allocated more than six million euros per year  for these labs. The TU Delft AI Lab programme provides ambitious academics with five years’ stimulus funding to jointly build up new and developing research areas to form independent and mature disciplines, such as bioinformatics. After five years, this structural investment will be used to kick-start a new series of 24 labs.

The eight TU Delft AI Labs that have open PhD positions are:

  • AiDAPT 
    Artificial Intelligence for Design, Analysis, and Optimisation in Architecture & the Built Environment 
  • AIFluids 
    Artificial Intelligence in Fluid Mechanics 
  • DAIEnergy Lab 
    Delft AI Lab for Sustainable Energy Systems 
  • D@S Lab 
    Design at Scale with Human-AI Collaboration 
  • HERALD Lab 
    Human-aware Robust Artificial Intelligence for Automated Driving 
  • Hippo DAI Lab 
    Hyper-heuristics for Interpretable Public Policy Analysis 
  • KDAI 
    Knowledge-Driven AI Lab 
  • SLIMMLab 
    Statistical Learning for Intelligent Material Modelling  

The TU Delft is proud to be a university where academics have the freedom to challenge and develop themselves in an international, multidisciplinary and collaborative community and is looking forward to welcome the 32 new PhD students to further explore the possibilities of AI (related) research.
