Doctoral Researcher in AI and Biomedical Imaging

About us

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.

The  Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) is an interdisciplinary research centre of the University of Luxembourg.

We conduct fundamental and translational research in the field of Systems Biology and Biomedicine - in the lab, in the clinic and in silico . We focus on neurodegenerative processes and are especially interested in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and their contributing factors. The LCSB recruits talented scientists from various disciplines : computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, engineers, physicists and clinicians from more than 50 countries currently work at the LCSB. We excel because we are truly interdisciplinary, and together we contribute to science and society.

Your role

The Junior Research Group in AI in Biomedical Imaging conducts applied AI research focused on biomedical image computing. Our work involves developing state-of-the-art methods for image segmentation, detection, classification, predictive modelling, and image enhancement. We aim to build more trustworthy and robust AI models that can address domain-specific challenges in biomedical applications. The PhD project will focus on translating and enhancing cutting-edge algorithms from AI research into concrete applications in biomedical imaging, with current emphasis on neurodegenerative diseases. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary institute working at the interface of computer science, artificial intelligence, and biomedical research.

Your profile

• Master's degree in computer science or related discipline
• Experience with Python and recent deep learning frameworks (e.g. Pytorch, MONAI)
