About this position

PhD position at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in contrast ultrasound imaging of nanobubbles for cancer diagnostics, within the NWO-funded MOMENTUM project. The research focuses on developing pharmacokinetic models, spatiotemporal models, and signal analysis methods that convert nanobubble transport into quantitative biomarkers for tumor angiogenesis, with prostate cancer as the initial clinical focus.

You will work in the Biomedical Diagnostics (BM/d) lab in the Signal Processing Systems group, Department of Electrical Engineering, TU/e, and collaborate with a fellow PhD candidate, a postdoc, a technician, and partners from TU/e, the University of Twente, Bracco, Angiogenesis Analytics, and Amsterdam UMC. The project combines microfluidics, bubble physics, ultrasound signal processing, and biomedical imaging.

Eligibility highlights: a master’s degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field; strong background in signal processing, statistical or kinetic modeling, and quantitative data analysis; proficiency in MATLAB and Python; research-oriented mindset; ability to work in an interdisciplinary team; interest in medical ultrasound imaging and cancer diagnostics; and fluent English at C1 level.

Funding and conditions: full-time PhD employment for 4 years, with an intermediate assessment after 9 months. Salary is €3,204–€4,051 gross per month (scale P), plus 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% year-end bonus. Additional benefits include pension, leave, training, commuting/work-from-home/internet allowances, and international support.
