The Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Technology (INSAIT), created in partnership with ETH Zurich and EPFL, is inviting applications for doctoral positions in computer science and artificial intelligence, offering full 5-year fellowships. INSAIT provides talented individuals with a unique opportunity to engage in world-class research, with the goal of becoming independent scientists and technology leaders.

Founded in 2022, INSAIT’s mission is to become a world-class computer science and artificial intelligence research institution. In just two years, INSAIT has already attracted outstanding international faculty, postdocs, and Ph.D. students. The institute has also published at most of the major machine learning, computer vision, and robotics conferences, including CVPR, NeurIPS, ICCV, ECCV, ICML, ICLR, IROS, AISTATS, as well as in areas like programming languages, algorithms, and theory. INSAIT is structured similarly to top U.S. and European research institutions and provides exceptional working conditions, in terms of facilities, computational resources, competitive packages, and salaries.

We welcome all excellent candidates with a strong academic background who are passionate about conducting cutting-edge research in the general fields of AI and computer science.

At INSAIT, you will benefit from:

• World-class research opportunities in areas such as computer vision, foundational models, safe and secure AI, robotics, quantum computing, algorithms and theory, verification, and many others.

• Mentorship from renowned professors, previously at institutions such as CMU, ETH Zurich, Stanford, and other leading universities.

• Outstanding working conditions that provide the freedom to explore and the space to learn and grow, with competitive compensation of nearly €40,000 gross per year and a flat income tax rate of 10%. 

• Rolling admission process with applications accepted year-round.
