PhD Position in AI/ML for IoT Sensor Data Analysis and Environmental/Industrial Monitoring at UPC Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Spain

CNDS at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain is advertising a PhD position within the MONET project (Intelligent Monitoring Networks for Environmental and Industry Applications).

The research topic focuses on AI/ML for IoT sensor data analysis, including discriminative AI, generative AI, and reinforcement learning. The work is aimed at real-world applications in environmental monitoring (air quality, urban microclimate) and industrial monitoring (anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, digital twins).

The position is a 4-year predoctoral contract funded under the Spanish Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento call of the State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research. The post is linked to a funded research project and is intended for a doctoral thesis in a leading UPC research group working on IoT, AI/ML, and intelligent monitoring networks.

Eligibility highlights: strong background in mathematical techniques, especially probabilistic models and optimization; preferred background in Mathematics, Physics, or Engineering.

Timeline: selection process in September 2026; expected start date in early 2027. The post does not list a formal deadline in the text provided.
