ELLIS PhD Program: Call for applications 2024
The ELLIS PhD program is a key pillar of the ELLIS initiative whose goal is to foster and educate the best talent in machine learning and related research areas by pairing outstanding students with leading academic and industrial researchers in Europe. The program also offers a variety of networking and training activities, including summer schools and workshops. Each PhD student is co-supervised by one ELLIS fellow/scholar or unit faculty and one ELLIS fellow/scholar, unit faculty or member based in different European countries. Students conduct an exchange of at least 6 months with the international advisor during their degree. One of the advisors may also come from industry, in which case the student will collaborate closely with the industry partner, and spend min. 6 months conducting research at the industrial lab. A new interdisciplinary track has also recently been introduced, in which students are co-supervised by an ELLIS fellow/scholar and a tenured faculty (if they are not an ELLIS fellow/scholar themselves), whose main expertise is different than machine learning/AI (for instance, biology, law or social sciences and humanities). For more information, the specific requirements for each track can be found down below or here.
