    The ETH AI Center promotes trustworthy, accessible, and inclusive AI systems. For this goal, we bring together interdisciplinary research teams of AI foundations, applications, and implications across all departments and look at AI from many different angles like mathematical principles, medicine, architecture, robotics, and social sciences / future of work. We enable research of high quality, industry innovation, and AI entrepreneurship.

    Project background

    The ETH AI Center faculty comprises more than 140 professorships representing all sixteen departments of ETH Zurich and external research groups from University of Zurich and University of St.Gallen. The ETH AI Center Fellowship program is Europe’s premier PhD program focused on advancing interdisciplinary AI research. This can be inside AI foundations or between AI foundations and application areas. As a truly interdisciplinary program, fellows work with two excellent PIs who are from different fields and carry equal weights in the supervision.

You will be working on your own project (that you will propose) and continuously have the opportunity to exchange with other teams and professorships, participate at faculty retreats, symposia, summits etc. Fellows have their primary office at the ETH AI Center and enjoy excellent employment conditions. The center offers plenty of opportunities to strengthen your career path through an optional entrepreneurial or industry track that provides you with valuable hands-on experience to turn your research into practical impact.
