Open Positions
Opening for specific projects
- PhD position in neuroimaging functional data analysis for a pediatric working memory Randomized Controlled Trial, in collaboration with the Research Institute at Haute Ecole de Santé Genève and the Cognitive Aging Lab at the University of Geneva. Starting around April 2024. Apply here or email for questions.
Ongoing competitive openings
- MD-PhD (UNIL): If you’re the kind of future MD that is keen on data science and AI, we are very happy to support your MD-PhD application if you want to work with us at the intersection of machine learning, genetics, and medicine. See project in potential host labs at UNIL.
- MSc (UNIL), MMed (UNIL) projects: we have many projects available in the field of machine learning for healthcare, please reach out.
- MSc (EPFL): Semester projects, lab immersions, or master thesis – we often work with Jean Philippe Thiran’s lab, see the LTS 5 students project page. Depending on the topic of interest we can liaise with other suitable labs such as the Medical Image Processing Lab (e.g. functional brain imaging, Graph signal processing…) or LTS 4 (graph neural networks, cardiac applications…).
- MSc/PhD/postdoc researchers worldwide that want to come to Switzerland: if you have outstanding ideas and track record in healthcare + ML, you may be eligible for a Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship, and we may be willing to support your application – get in touch.
