The ADVANCE CRT (https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.advance-crt.ie%2F&data=04%7C01%7Crobocup-worldwide%40cc.gatech.edu%7Cc68bbba61ec04ddceb6208d8dd0112ab%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C0%7C0%7C637502343962083611%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=GDRJb31tPePNL7exJnAuDo07WztlOpeP5lzS2oDcCp4%3D&reserved=0) is pleased to announce that the call for new entrants for the academic year 2021/2022 is currently open and closes this Friday, 5 March at 1700 (Irish Time).

The ADVANCE CRT is the Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Research Training focused on Future Networks and the Internet of Things with applications in sustainable and independent living.  Meeting both the technical and societal challenges of global hyper-connectivity requires multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches. Our vision is to train the next generation of researchers who will seek solutions to the technical and societal challenges of global hyper-connectivity between large numbers of People and Things. We will explore opportunities for a range of novel applications in sustainable and independent living enabled by such networks that will become critically important to sustain large dense cities and alleviate problems of rural depopulation. Given the far-reaching technological, economic, social and personal impacts of hyper-connectivity, our researchers will, in addition to deep competence in their individual disciplines, need understanding of these wider ethical, social and economic aspects. They will need the ability to collaborate with, learn from, and communicate their discipline-specific knowledge with other disciplines and the public who will be the beneficiaries of their collective expertise.

Funding: Studentships provide four years of tuition fees, a tax free stipend of €18,500 and a travel allowance for research and training related activities.

Application Process:
The closing date for the first round of applications is 5 March 2021 at 1700 Irish Standard Time.

We invite applications from individuals who hold (or expect to receive) a master's level degree, or  a 2.1 honours undergraduate degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Psychology, or Social Science. Other qualifications in disciplines related to listed research areas will also be considered.
Full details of the application procedure are available at https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.advance-crt.ie%2Fapply%2F&data=04%7C01%7Crobocup-worldwide%40cc.gatech.edu%7Cc68bbba61ec04ddceb6208d8dd0112ab%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C0%7C0%7C637502343962083611%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=RUxV%2FS4y%2F0ZkHwGFFQfNiKB%2FFXVUnZ%2Fi3OTujv7A27U%3D&reserved=0.

Applicants are invited to review potential supervisors and projects in the project booklet. Students interested in pursuing a doctoral degree specifically related to robotics and communications are encouraged to select Dr Rudi Villing and Maynooth University as the preferred supervisor and destination, respectively, and should highlight their interest in robotics in their statement of motivation.
