The European Commission Horizon 2020 program for research and innovation: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Innovative Training Network (ITN) are inviting applications for 15 Early Stage Research (ESR) positions in the European project “SHAPE-IT: Supporting the interaction of Humans and Automated vehicles: Preparing for the Environment of Tomorrow”.
Requirements:
- Candidates should have an MSc degree in Psychology/Behavioural Sciences or an engineering discipline, with knowledge in one or more of the following fields: human factors, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, ergonomics, human-machine interfaces, cognitive modelling, artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, automotive technology, driver assistance systems, software engineering, computer science, control theory, transport modelling, and safety analysis.
- Applicant must be able to express him/herself in English at a high level, both verbally and in writing (for example, for the UK, this includes an average score of 6.5 for IELTS).
- An early stage researcher (ESR) means a researcher who, at the time of recruitment by the beneficiary, has not yet been awarded a doctorate degree and is in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent[1]) of his/her research career (measured from the date when they obtained a Masters degree, which formally entitles them to embark on a doctorate).
- ESRs are required to undertake transnational mobility (i.e. move from one country to another). At the time of recruitment, the researcher must therefore not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc…) in the country of the host institution for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment under the project.
- A valid visa for research at the host’s country must be attained (the visa process will be handled by each host university).
Starting date: between October 2019 and March 2020.
Applications:
- Applications should be submitted for each individual ESR position interested in, and send application to the host recruitment contact email.
- Candidate may apply to multiple positions.
- Each application should include CV, and a motivation letter, highlighting relevant experience, and motivation for applying.
