The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and ETH Zurich have joined forces creating the Max Planck ETH Center for Learning Systems (CLS). The goal of the CLS is to advance artificial intelligence by achieving a fundamental understanding of perception, learning and adaption in complex systems by providing a platform for exchange in research and education. CLS is currently accepting Ph.D. applications for its 2020 generation of doctoral fellows. The application deadline is Friday, November 15, 2019.
The Max Planck ETH Center for Learning Systems offers a unique fellowship program, where Ph.D. students are co-supervised by one advisor from ETH Zurich and one from the MPI for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen and Stuttgart. All Ph.D. fellows will register as graduate students at ETH Zurich, and upon successful completion of their Ph.D. project, will be granted a doctoral degree by ETH. This highly competitive program offers a wide range of activities like retreats, workshops and summer schools. Fellowships will be remunerated through employment contracts, subjected to the rules of the Max Planck Society and ETH Zurich, respectively.
