Phd Studentship in Logistics Automation

5 days ago


Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

A PhD studentship is available to work on Logistics automation. The student appointed will work with the Distributed Information and Automation Laboratory (DIAL) at the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM).

One of the key areas of focus for the project is to systematically analyse the impact of automation for small and medium scale enterprises. This includes, but is not limited to, the automation solutions developed through the ongoing Shoestring Logistics project at IfM. Examples of such automation are warehouse automation, autonomous delivery vehicles coordination, human-robots coordination, etc. A second focus is the development of novel algorithms and systems to support logistics automation systems such as these.

Applicants should have (or expect to obtain by the start date) at least a good 2.1 degree (and preferably a Masters degree) in Engineering or Physical Sciences.

This studentship will cover home University fees and a maintenance allowance of at least £19,000 per year.
