Luleå University of Technology is in strong growth with world-leading competence in several research areas. We shape the future through innovative education and ground-breaking research results, and based on the Arctic region, we create global social benefit. Our scientific and artistic research and education are conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, public actors and leading universities. Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of nearly SEK 2,1 billion per year. We currently have 1,900 employees and 18,700 students. In the coming years, multi-billion investments will be made in large projects in Northern Sweden to create a fossil-free society both nationally and globally. Luleå University of Technology is involved in several of these cutting-edge research projects and in the societal transformation that they entail. We offer a broad range of courses and study programmes to match the skills in demand. We hope that you will help us to build the sustainable companies and societies of the future.
Lulea University of Technology is one of Sweden’s leading universities in Machine learning, especially in Deep Learning, with a high concentration of ELLIS (European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems) researchers, as well as unique labs for field robotics, deep learning, and human computer interaction. Furthermore, this university is Sweden’s leading university in industrial collaboration. The Machine Learning (ML) subject at the department of Computer Science and Electrical and Space Engineering at Luleå University of Technology, is now looking for researchers contributing to our growing activities. The ML team conducts fundamental research machine learning for the welfare of society with a specific focus on self-supervised learning, brain signal analysis, and industrial AI. To strengthen our team in AI for health and medicine, we now recruit an researcher in AI and Machine Learning for Precision Health.
The ML group is part of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP). WASP is Sweden’s largest individual research program ever, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment. The program addresses research on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their environment through sensors, information and knowledge, and forming intelligent systems-of-systems. The vision of WASP is excellent research and competence in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and software for the benefit of Swedish industry.
