About this position

Luleå University of Technology is seeking a PhD student in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence within the RAI subject at the Department of Computer Science and Electrical and Space Engineering. The position sits in a strong international research environment with access to advanced laboratory equipment and active participation in national, European, and worldwide R&D projects.

The RAI group works on fundamental and applied robotics with a particular emphasis on aerial, space, and bioinspired robotics. The advertised research direction focuses on robotic autonomy and includes work on autonomous underwater robot navigation in aquatic environments, with themes such as optimization-based path planning, state estimation, sensor fusion for localization and mapping, reactive terrain-aware navigation, and experimental validation on robotic platforms in the field.

The PhD student will contribute to research that combines theory and experimentation and is expected to lead to publications in major international journals and conferences. The role also connects to broader robotics activities such as multi-robot coordination, multirobot perception, decentralization, mission execution, and robotics applications in mines, infrastructure inspection, and search-and-rescue contexts.

The position is located in Luleå and is supervised within an active research team led by George Nikolakopoulos. The advert highlights high-quality supervision, secure employment, and a research setting that supports both academic development and practical experimentation.

Funding details

Solid funding opportunities are mentioned, and the position is offered as secure employment as a PhD student for up to 4 years, with teaching and other department duties up to 20%.

What's required

Applicants must hold an MSc degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Agricultural Engineering, or a related subject.
