The Norwegian University of Science and Technology invites applications for a PhD Candidate in Maritime Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Representation. The project focuses on structuring vessel design information to enable AI-based reasoning in ship engineering. The research aims to develop structured representations—such as ontologies or knowledge graphs—that make dependencies between ship components and systems explicit and machine-interpretable. The position is part of the Norwegian Maritime AI Center, a national initiative to accelerate AI adoption across maritime value chains including ship design, logistics, autonomous vessels, and maritime operations.
