Ph.D. Student Position in Computer Science

The focus of the present position is on designing and building new infrastructures to semantically integrate semi-structured data in the cloud (this is a joint project with EPFL and our neighbors from the Engineering School in Fribourg, supported by the Hasler Foundation in Switzerland.)

Salary and social benefits are extremely competitive (salaries start at 42K CHF for new Ph.D. students). XI is supported by a generous grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation and offers top-notch working conditions and cutting-edge hardware infrastructures. Our lab is hosted by the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Fribourg.

The faculty is currently experiencing a formidable expansion and recently received the largest-ever donation made to a Swiss university. Ideally situated in the heart of Switzerland and at the foot of the Alps, the city of Fribourg lies on the linguistic border between the French and German-speaking parts of the country. In addition to being recognized as a first-class location for business and education, Fribourg is also a delightful and exceptional place to live and is often ranked first for quality of life in Western Switzerland.
