Area of research
The Faculty of Technology, Art and Design currently has an opening for a PhD position at the Department of Computer Science. The PhD fellow will be part of the research project “Artificial Intelligence – a novel tool in assisted reproduction technology” funded by the Research Council of Norway (FRIMEDBIO). Assisted reproduction technology is used to treat couples struggling with infertility. The PhD fellow will mainly work on developing machine learning models, and in particular deep learning models, that will be used to improve assisted reproduction technology and in the end reduce the chance of infertility.
Main duties of the position
The PhD candidate will focus on projects related to the research at the department. The position will be for a period of three or four years. A four year period will include 25% compulsory work (teaching, lab, or project supervision responsibilities at the department). The PhD position presupposes admission to the Faculty’s PhD program. Candidates who apply for a 4-year position also have to demonstrate good pedagogical skills and an interest for teaching and supervision.
