Research laboratories at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science are always open for enthusiastic students. To know more about reasearch in a specific laboratory, feel free to contact them. Current open research positions are listed bellow.
RESEARCH ANd ASSIsTANT POSITIONS
The Faculty of Computer and Information Science is creating new researcher positions in the context of calls for research projects, and will also be recruiting teaching assistants in the new academic year.
Most of them require a degree in a relevant professional field (mainly computer science and informatics, but also other technical and natural sciences). These positions are particularly suitable for those who are pursuing a doctorate - as the tuition fees (partly or fully) are covered by the faculty or the research laboratory, and the performance of the post is also partly adjusted to accommodate the workload.
If you are interested in participating, please get in touch with the contact persons below as soon as possible.
