MarineUAS Doctoral training in MarineUAS Why MarineUAS? Innovative Training Network on Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Systems for Marine and Coastal Monitoring MarineUAS will recruit and train doctoral fellows via a specially developed and unique training program designed on the EU Principles for Innovative Doctoral Training. European countries have vast coasts and economic zones that go far into the Atlantic and Arctic oceans and are challenging to monitor and manage. The need to protect and manage the vulnerable natural environment and marine resources in a sustainable manner is important for the society. M arineUAS is an EU-funded doctoral program to strategically strengthen research training on Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Systems for Marine and Coastal Monitoring. It is a comprehensive researcher training program across a range of partners in several countries designed to have high impact on the training of individual researchers and their knowledge, skills and their future careers. MarineUAS has established a unique cooperative environment. It takes benefit of the partners' extensive and complementary knowledge, field operational experience, and experimental facilities. Marine UAS will build a solid foundation for long-term European excellence and innovation in this field . MarineUAS is hiring 15 Early Stage Researchers to highly attractive PhD fellowship positions starting in 2015 These PhD students will participate in an extensive training programme and take part in secondments between partners in the consortium. To apply for a doctoral fellowship, you must have less than 4 years of research experience since your master degree, and must not have stayed more than 1 year during the past 3 years in the country you apply. These are strict rules. You can find more information about how to apply at: www.marineuas.eu Expanding on existing doctoral programs, it combines cutting edge training-by-research, dedicated supervision, complementary and transferable skills training, secondments, hands-on UAS operator training, and cross-disciplinary mindset. Training is supported by a series of network-wide training events that cover UAS technology, rules and regulations, operations in non-segregated airspace, air traffic management, marine and coastal monitoring and science, and the integration of the air, surface, and underwater autonomous vehicle segments. The drive towards activities in more remote locations and harsher environment demands new approaches and technologies. A key enabling technology is the use of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle systems (UAS) as a supplement to manned aircraft and satellite-based remote sensing, oftentimes exploiting strong collaborative links with buoys, ships and autonomous marine vehicles for in-situ observations. UAS offers potential advantages such as high endurance, reduced cost, increased flexibility and availability, rapid deployment, higher accuracy or resolution, and reduced risk for humans and negative impact on the environment. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 642153. University of Porto, Portugal.
