4-year Industrial Doctorate · Full-time · Madrid, Spain

"Wanted: a researcher who wants a PhD that matters outside the library. Four years, one hard problem, real users waiting for the answer. Thesis guaranteed if you do the work."
Meet the team
We are Modelia.
We are building the platform that will transform how the fashion industry creates, manages, and scales visual content. For decades, brands have relied on photoshoots as the foundation of their visual production. They are expensive, slow, and deeply embedded in every P&L.;

We believe that model is coming to an end.

Our engine turns a single garment photo (a flatlay, a mannequin shot, an existing model image) into studio-quality on-model images and video. No photoshoot. Minutes instead of weeks. We already work with brands across 26 countries, including Desigual, AWWG and Tendam, and we have generated on-model imagery for more than 1,000,000 SKUs.

We are the official AI-imagery partner of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, we are part of IED Milano's fashion-design curriculum, and we are backed by top US and EU funds.





We are a focused team, moving fast, building something that doesn't have a clear precedent.

The Role
Most PhDs end in a PDF. This one ends in production.

This is a four-year industrial doctorate. You will carry out an R&D; project at Modelia, and that project will be your PhD thesis, co-supervised by a Spanish university and by our senior research team.

You will work on open problems in generative image and video. How do you keep a garment's fabric and print exactly right? How do you keep a video consistent from one frame to the next? How do you make generation fast enough to run for thousands of products at once? These questions are not fully solved anywhere yet.

You will get the academic rigour of a doctorate and the speed of a startup. The models you build will be used by fashion brands around the world.

What you'll do
• Lead a focused thesis project within our generative-media roadmap.
