About this position
Imperial College London is recruiting highly motivated candidates for a PhD and a Research Assistant position in AI-driven 3D ultrasound imaging.
The project focuses on next-generation intelligent systems that combine ultrasound imaging and artificial intelligence to enable automated, high-quality, real-time 3D ultrasound data acquisition. Research topics include deep learning-based 3D ultrasound reconstruction and registration and real-time perception and control algorithms for AI-guided imaging.
Applicants with backgrounds in ultrasound imaging, machine learning, computer vision, robotics, medical imaging, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, or related areas are encouraged to apply. For the PhD, Imperial’s Bioengineering doctoral entry requirements apply, with eligible backgrounds including engineering, physical sciences, mathematics, biological sciences, physiology, or medicine. Strong academic performance, research potential, a relevant master’s degree or equivalent research experience, programming skills in Python and/or C++, experience with modern deep learning frameworks, prior research experience, and good English are preferred.
The Research Assistant role offers a salary of £43,863-£45,509 per year. The PhD is expected to last 3-4 years, subject to programme registration and funding arrangements. The post does not explicitly state a fully funded PhD, but Imperial notes that scholarship/funding deadlines apply for applicants seeking funding.
Interested candidates should prepare a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and any relevant publications or research outputs. Applicants are advised to contact the appropriate supervisor based on their background: Prof. Mengxing Tang for ultrasound imaging backgrounds, or Dr. Dandan Zhang for robotics, AI, computer vision, or machine learning backgrounds. The official PhD application must be submitted through Imperial College London’s online application system.
Imperial’s Bioengineering doctoral research pages state that PhD applications can be submitted throughout the year, with intakes on the first working Monday of October, January, April, and July. Funding consideration deadlines for the 2026-27 academic year are also listed on the university page.
