About this position
Ghent University is advertising a PhD-level doctoral fellow position in micro-CT reconstruction using machine learning and implicit neural representations (INRs).
The project sits at the intersection of linear algebra, inverse problems, signal processing, computational imaging, and applied AI. The work is connected to the Image Processing and Interpretation (IPI) research group at Ghent University and the Radiation Physics group at the Center for X-ray Tomography (UGCT), with additional collaboration with Centrum Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam.
Research tasks include designing, implementing, and validating novel reconstruction algorithms, benchmarking them against state-of-the-art pipelines, and working on mathematically grounded, computation-efficient methods for dynamic imaging and tomography. Strong programming skills in Python/C++, GPU-based computing, and modern machine learning frameworks are required.
Eligibility: a Master's degree in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or an equivalent field is preferred and must be completed by the appointment date. Strong interest in signal processing, inverse problems, and mathematics is essential; experience with medical image reconstruction or computational imaging is highly desirable.
Funding: full-time doctoral fellow appointment, initially 12 months and extendable up to 48 months after positive evaluation. The fellowship is set at 100% of the net salary of an AAP member in equal family circumstances and is tax-free if it meets the doctoral fellowship regulations.
Application deadline: 2026-12-18 23:59. Apply by email with a CV, diploma copy (if available), and motivation letter to [email protected].
