MSCA Doctoral Fellow Studentship in Adaptation Services, Cloud Intelligence Hub and Edge Intelligence Rims for AI-Driven Cyber-Physical Systems (GREET Doctoral Network, Fixed Term) Applications are invited for a Doctoral Candidate (also known as Doctoral Fellow) in GREET (Generative Explainee-aware Explainability and Transparency in Proactive Cyber-Physical Eco- Environments) Doctoral Network, funded by Horizon Europe’s MSCA Programme. The Doctoral Candidate will be employed as a full-time Doctor Fellow by Intracom Telecom and while registered for PhD degree at Edinburgh Napier University . The joint supervision team will include experts from both Intracom Telecom and Edinburgh Napier. Salary is very competitive, and PhD tuition fees will be paid/exempted by the project. The GREET Doctoral Network offers an exciting opportunity for an early-career researcher to contribute to shaping a new generation of Cyber Physical Systems, which will support generative cognition, explainee-aware explainability, and transparent proactivity in the highly secured CPS eco-environments. Focused on the novel generative AI-driven CPS, GREET aims to deliver key insights into the science and models of the proposed CPS, set up its scientific foundation, and equip the DN’s recruited Doctoral Candidates with skills to drive the next innovative steps in this area. In partnership with 13 renowned institutions and industrial leaders across 9 countries, GREET will train 15 talented doctoral candidates (DCs) through an interdisciplinary co-design approach that integrates with ecosphere-driven, user studies, and agile methodologies. The proposed new CPS will drive an economic and societal paradigm shift towards a trustworthy proactive smart world, it will bring in future smart services with its built-in holistic cognitive and trustworthy learning ability, deployed in many vital societal and economic services, such as smart cities, manufacturing, healthcare, energy and transport. The Doctoral Candidate will first study and elicit the key requirements of CPS resilience, resource and energy-awareness, explainable proactivity, interoperability and self-development. Based on these requirements, the doctoral candidate will develop a set of adaptation services on the key features of the CPS. To enable the proposed CPS system, a Cloud Intelligence Hub and the Edge Intelligence Rims of the new CPS will be designed and developed.
