Fully funded PhD studentships in AI/ML at Medical University of Vienna

[Hrvoje Bogunovic]

We currently offer six fully-funded PhD studentships for research in AI/ML at the interface with biomedical and technical-related research. The Artificial Intelligence Institute of the Medical University of Vienna supports PhD students in developing and leading their own AI/ML research projects and becoming experts in their field. Together, we lay the foundations for a career as a scientific leader. 

Located in the centre of Vienna, our university is a centre for basic, applied and theoretical research in the technical and life sciences, with a special focus on the medical sciences. Our work emphasises the interdisciplinary nature of these fields, integrating knowledge and methods from different disciplines to address challenges in medicine and healthcare. We welcome applicants with strong programming skills (e.g. Python, PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow) and/or a solid foundation in applied mathematics, with a background in AI, computer science, biomedical engineering, physics or related fields. 

Potential PhD projects: 

• From neurons to the whole brain: Developing a unified computational model of single-neuron activity across multiple brain regions 
• Advanced AI models for Neuroprosthetics: Understanding the neural control of primate locomotion using foundation models 
• Open-ended PhD position in Machine learning theory for neuroscience (send your own project proposal) 
• Machine Learning for Retinal Image Analysis and Disease Progression Modeling 
• Machine Learning Methods to Understand Mechanisms of Cell Biology 
• Autonomous Radiotherapy Planning 
• Machine Learning Methods & Bioinformatics Applications in High-throughput Biology & Molecular Medicine
