PhD Position in Maritime Informatics, Marine & Field Robotics at University of the Aegean University of the Aegean in Greece

The Intelligent Transportation Systems Research Lab at the University of the Aegean, led by Professor Dimitris Zissis, is expanding and currently offers a funded PhD position in Maritime Informatics and Marine & Field Robotics. The successful candidate will join a dynamic, international, and interdisciplinary research environment, working on cutting-edge projects involving autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, maritime data analytics, and real-world field robotics deployments at sea.

The research will focus on the development and deployment of advanced robotic and AI-driven solutions for maritime applications, with opportunities for hands-on experimentation during field trials and robotic deployments, particularly in Syros, Greece. The position follows a hybrid work model, combining remote work with on-site research periods, especially during summer activities and fieldwork.

Applicants should have a strong interest in deep-tech, autonomous systems, and practical experimentation in real environments. While specific entry requirements are not detailed, a background in robotics, AI, computer science, or related fields is likely advantageous. The position is fully funded, though details on stipend and tuition are not specified.

To apply, interested candidates should contact Professor Dimitris Zissis directly via LinkedIn to receive further information about the application process. For more details about the lab and its research, visit smartmove.aegean.gr.
