PhD studentships

Doctoral projects in Data Science and its Applications

The Data Science and its Applications research group is recruiting PhD candidates to pursue their doctoral theses at RPTU Kaiserslautern, while contributing to projects at the DFKI.

A number of our job roles are also PhD positions, and certain master’s level student projects may be extended to PhD-level projects. Please visit our other pages to get an idea of our existing research areas.

A PhD scholarship typically comprises a monthly stipend of approximately €1700, supplemented by a €600 HiWi (research assistant) position.

If your topic is particularly closely aligned with an ongoing funded research project, it is also possible to work on it as part of a full-time researcher position (higher salary, roughly equivalent to TV-L E13).

For more information on earning a doctoral degree at RPTU, visit the university web site.

We welcome motivated candidates to propose their own projects, if they think they are aligned with our current topics. You can contact us ahead of your application.
