Job Description

You will be enrolled at Ghent University for a PhD in Computer Science Engineering. However, your research will be highly interdisciplinary. You will need to combine in-depth understanding of biological learning, artificial learning and its efficiency as a hardware implementation.

As PhD student at Ghent university, you will collaborate with enthusiastic colleagues at IDLab-AIRO (https://airo.ugent.be/research/) and our international partners in the SmartNets project (https://www.smartnets-etn.eu/).

As an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) in the SmartNets network, you will form an active training network with the other ESRs in the project and you are required to spend part of your PhD time (~ 2 times 3 months) with some of our partners.
