Project Assistant Computer Science

We are one of Sweden’s most distinctly profiled institutes of technology, with a focus on IT and innovation for a sustainable future. A key word at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) is closeness – close cooperation with industry and society, and closeness to our students and to our management.
Our closeness to the sea is also very apparent at both campuses, as well as being a comfortable bike ride away from the city and residential areas. BTH stands for quality and new approaches and strives to be recognised as an open, exciting and creative higher education institution.
We develop new knowledge through our research, which often takes place in collaboration with wider society and with a specific application in mind. The research contributes to a sustainable future, through directly through our research results as well as indirectly, through our PhD graduates and research-based undergraduate studies. To reach our goals, we need motivated and committed staff who are provided with the conditions to deliver research and education of the highest quality. Work environment and equal opportunities are consistently on the agenda and we strive for continuous improvements. Does this sound like your future?

Work description:

We invite applications for a 6 month funded position in the area of distributed artificial intelligence for large scale distributed systems, complex adaptive systems and internet-based infrastructures.

With the emergence of new technology paradigms such as Cloud computing, BigData, A.I. (Artificial Intelligence), Machine Learning and IoT (Internet of Things) leads to questions on how to develop and operate automated or autonomous systems that can be applied to logistics systems, such as those found in container terminals.

The Project Assistant position will focus on applied research issues with industry partners, in EU sponsored project:


• CONNECT 2 SMALL PORTS Smart
