The research is embedded within the Data & AI Products area at the DataLab Munich, an environment that develops and supports AI solutions in the enterprise context across all business units of the Volkswagen AG. The DataLab’s overarching focus includes Generative AI, classical machine learning, reinforcement learning, optimization, and robotics, providing a broad and stimulating research environment. The DataLab maintains long‑established, close collaborations with leading academic research groups, including Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU), the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the University of Vienna, as well as international institutions. In addition to industrial relevance, the value of principled, foundational research is explicitly recognized, and engagement with fundamental scientific questions beyond immediate product development is actively encouraged. You will research and advance agentic AI technologies as well as orchestration approaches for large language models in industrial and enterprise‑wide application environments. The focus is on developing scalable and robust AI systems that enable autonomous workflows and intelligent automation. In addition to conducting excellent research, the role contributes to Volkswagen’s agentic transformation by transferring research outcomes into real internal IT applications and AI products. The position combines scientific innovation with practical implementation in close collaboration with academic and industry partners. If you would like to actively shape the future of agentic AI, we look forward to receiving your application.
The final doctoral topic is defined together with the professor. The prerequisite for the cooperation is the confirmation of supervision as well as a confirmed delimitation of topics by the professor of a university or research institution entitled to confer a doctorate.
