Seven PhD student positions in WASP

Information about the overall project, WASP
Wallenberg Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) is Sweden's largest individual engineering research program ever, and provides a platform for academic research and education, fostering interaction with Sweden's leading technology companies. The program addresses research on autonomous systems and software acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their environment through sensors, information and knowledge, and forming intelligent systems-of-systems. Software is the main enabler in autonomous systems, and is an integrated research theme of the program. WASP's key values are research excellence and industrial relevance. The graduate school within WASP is dedicated to provide the skills needed to analyse, develop, and contribute to the interdisciplinary area of autonomous systems and software. The curriculum provides the foundations, perspectives, and state-of-the-art knowledge in the different disciplines taught by leading researchers in the field. Through an ambitious program with research visits, partner universities, and visiting lecturers, the graduate school actively supports forming a strong multi-disciplinary and international professional network between PhD-students, researchers and industry.
WASP involves five Swedish universities: Chalmers, KTH, Linko¨ping University, Lund University, and Umea° University together with numerous Swedish industries. Chalmers now offer up to seven PhD positions within the seven research projects listed above. You may apply to at most two of the research projects included in all WASP calls. If you apply for two projects, you must list your first priority.

Project C1: Combined Communication and Control of Mobile Networked Systems
Project C2: Deep Learning for 3D Computer Vision
Project C3: Software Developer Targeted Performance and Cost Management for Autonomic Cloud Applications
Project C4: Security and Privacy in Cloud Assisted Computing
Project C5: APODOSIS - Adaptive Data Summaries for Autonomous Streaming Systems  
Project C6: Security and Privacy of Location-Based Services
Project C7: Functional Heterogeneous Systems    
More information about the 7 individual PhD projects is provided in the appendix.
