CfA: 2 PhD Scholarships-Cluster CD-CPS for International Students in Germany, 2019

Applications are invited for 2 Ph.D. Scholarships – GRS-Cluster »Cognitive Dependable Cyber Physical Systems« (CD-CPS) at Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) in Germany. Outstanding candidates may apply for a scholarship of up to 36 months to conduct their research in a structured and innovative doctoral programme.

Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) Cottbus-Senftenberg has a research-oriented vision, and its profile encompasses fundamental as well as applied research areas. Against this backdrop BTU established a Graduate Research School (GRS), which provides an ideal environment for all young researchers. This strategy of positioning the research profile contains specific services as well as funding opportunities that support the furthering of BTU‘s core research areas.
