Recruitment of Junior Researchers in ETHOS Lab Spring Semester 2017
ETHOS Lab is run by a staff of researchers and students, some of which are volunteers. This page details any open positions the lab has in this regard. Currently we have open positions as Junior Researcher in the lab.
Junior Researcher
We are recruiting ITU students for the role as Junior Researcher in our evolving ETHOS research lab for the spring semester.

- Engage in a pre-defined ETHOS research proposal determined by researchers, whom you will collaborate with (Please send an e-mail to mblo@itu.dk for a list of proposals)
It is not required for the project to be ECTS related or having an affiliated supervisor, but we recommend interacting with relevant researchers in the process.
