The A-WEAR European Joint Doctorate: A network for dynamic wearable applications with privacy constraints, begun in January 2019. The project joins 5 European  top-level universities in Czech Republic, Finland, Italy, Romania, or Spain, being UJI the Spanish representative.

A-WEAR aims at building new joint/double European doctoral programmes to train a new generation of young researchers in order to be aware of, to cope with, and to disseminate to a large audience the vulnerabilities and the corresponding solutions of the communication and positioning through wearables.

A call for doctoral students has been recently published. Applications are invited for 15 full-time PhD student positions (called Early Stage Researchers or ESR) for joint and double PhD degrees for 36 months. The positions are offered within the A-WEAR European Joint Doctorate action of the highly appreciated EU-funded Marie Skłodowska Curie grants (grant # 813278).

Selected candidates for ESR5, ESR6 and ESR7  will be mainly hosted at UJI. As it can be seen in the descriptions below, UJI’s ESRs will be particularly working with indoor and outdoor positioning technologies, in the context of wearables.

The starting times will be during the Fall 2019. The application deadline is on 28th of February 2019. Deadline has been extended ’til March 17th The results of the selection process are expected to be announced by end of April 2019.
