Overview

Eindhoven University of Technology is offering a four-year PhD position focused on creating physics-informed generative AI models for cardiac MRI. Part of the PRIMA-CMR collaborative project within the EuroTech Universities Alliance, the research aims to recover diagnostic information from low-dose scans while quantifying uncertainty for clinical validation. The successful candidate will spend six months visiting the Technical University of Munich and will split their time between algorithmic development, clinical validation, and teaching duties. Applicants are expected to hold a relevant master's degree and bring strong programming skills in Python and PyTorch.
