The Swarm Systems Lab at the University of Granada currently has some openings. If your profile does not fit the offer, but you think you are a good match, the lab is always looking for outstanding researchers and students. We run a lab with diverse but strong theoretical and practical backgrounds. Prospective candidates are invited to contact Héctor García de Marina at swarmsystemslab@gmail.com, attaching a CV, research statement, and contact references. If you don’t receive any answer within 3 weeks from your email, your application has not been considered.
Visitors who match our activities are also welcome, although it will depend on our current physical space to host you. If you are interested, email us your motivation and attach your CV with a contact reference.
Why Granada?
Granada is the most popular destination among European exchange students, and it has a welcoming cosmopolitan university. Granada, a safe modern city, also has an outstanding geographical location just 40 minutes from the Mediterranean Coast with its tropical climate, and 30 minutes from the Sierra Nevada ski resort. The world-renowned Alhambra and Generalife palaces, which form the backdrop of Granada’s cityscape, are widely regarded as being among the most outstanding examples of architecture in the world. In 1984 these palaces — along with the labyrinth-like historical quarter known as the Albaicín — became UNESCO world heritage sites, further adding to Granada’s reputation as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Granada has affordable housing for students, a rich culture of gastronomy (tapas!), and it is a cultural hub thanks to its rich historical and cultural legacy. The international airport of Málaga Costa del Sol, constantly connected with Granada, is at 100km, with flight connections to over 60 countries worldwide.
