Florida International University (FIU) is offering PhD opportunities in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, with a focus on computational and neuroimaging approaches to understanding human brain function. The lab, led by Assistant Professor Kangjoo Lee, specializes in research areas such as functional MRI, brain dynamics, precision neuroimaging, quantitative analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data-driven modeling of neural and behavioral variability, cognitive function, and psychiatric disorders. The research is highly interdisciplinary, bridging biomedical engineering, neuroscience, computer science, and cognitive science, and aims to advance both clinical and basic science applications. FIU's Biomedical Engineering PhD program is recognized for its rigorous training and interdisciplinary approach, preparing students for impactful careers in academia, industry, and clinical research. The department's mission is to educate and train the next generation of biomedical engineers, conduct significant research in medical sciences, and develop innovative medical technologies. Students will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative research environment. Applicants should have a strong background in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, computer science, or related fields, with experience in computational methods, neuroimaging (especially fMRI), quantitative analysis, machine learning, or data-driven modeling. The program seeks candidates with a relevant bachelor's or master's degree, a strong academic record, and proficiency in English (TOEFL/IELTS for international applicants). Application materials include a CV and research statement, and candidates are encouraged to apply by December 31, 2025, for priority consideration for internal fellowships. The final application deadline is February 15, 2026. Funding is typically provided for PhD students, including tuition waivers and stipends, with additional fellowship opportunities for early applicants. Interested candidates should email Professor Kangjoo Lee at [email protected] with their CV and research statement (subject line: [PhD application]), and also submit a formal application through the FIU Graduate Application Portal for the Biomedical Engineering PhD Program.
