Job Description

Drive Sustainable Digital Innovation in the Maritime Industry

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to contribute to groundbreaking research in situational awareness for marine navigation using foundational models. As a member of our team, you will work alongside leading experts in the field, collaborate with international partners, and access state-of-the-art facilities.

Key Responsibilities
  • Perform internationally relevant research in situational awareness for marine navigation using foundational models
  • Create relevant datasets through experimental campaigns in the field
  • Develop a language-action model that fuses the navigation actions into an existing LLM and provides textual guidance for collision avoidance
  • Develop a vision-language-action model that reasons about navigation scenarios and provides visual and textual guidance for collision avoidance
  • Verify the contextual reasoning of the developed system in relation to simple and complex navigation scenarios
  • Lead the preparation of scientific publications towards ISI journals and highly ranked international conferences
  • Share findings of your research with qualified professional audiences
  • Co-supervise BSc and MSc projects possibly within areas relevant to the PhD project
  • Provide teaching assistance in BSc and MSc courses at DTU Electro
Requirements
  • Strong analytical skills and background in artificial intelligence, with focus on machine learning, deep learning, and foundational models
  • Experience within the field of machine learning for robotics applications is a plus
  • Documented experience through courses, projects, or former professional work to develop and test applications using artificial intelligence tools, preferably Generative AI
  • Proficiency in Python
  • Strong communication skills in English, especially in connection to writing and presenting scientific results
  • Curiosity and passion drive you to uncover the unknown. Your energy enables you to collaborate effectively with peers and pursue independent work towards shared objectives
Assessment and Appointment

The assessment of the applicants will be made by Associate Professor Roberto Galeazzi (DTU Electro) and Professor Line K. H. Clemmensen (DTU Compute). The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.
