PhD Opportunity in Medical Physics, NeuroAI, Biomedical AI, and AI for Life Sciences University of Rome Tor Vergata in Italy

PhD opportunity at the University of Rome Tor Vergata in the Medical Physics Section, Department of Biomedicine and Prevention.

The project sits at the interface of medical physics, NeuroAI, biomedical AI, AI for life sciences, computational neuroimaging, molecular AI, physiological systems modelling, therapeutic ultrasound, and translational biomedical research.

The lab develops quantitative, computational, and physics-informed methods for complex biological and clinical systems. Research topics include brain decoding, MRI/PET/fMRI/diffusion MRI/EEG/MEG analysis, biomedical image and signal processing, multimodal data integration, molecular and systems-level modelling, radiomics, precision oncology, AI-assisted radiotherapy, brain-body and autonomic modelling, focused ultrasound and TheraFUS technologies, ultrasound-mediated therapeutic delivery, neuromodulation, nanomedicine, and safe-by-design modelling.

The opportunity is aimed at motivated prospective PhD candidates from physics, medical physics, biomedical engineering, computer science, data science, applied mathematics, bioengineering, neuroscience, biology, biotechnology, medicine, computational biology, or related fields. Programming, machine learning, image or signal analysis, neuroimaging, molecular data, physiological modelling, statistics, and biomedical datasets are welcome strengths.

The successful candidate will join an active interdisciplinary environment with projects funded by European programmes, NIH, national agencies, and regional funding bodies, and will have access to collaborators across Europe, the United States, and other international research centres.

To apply, candidates should email a single PDF with a short cover letter, CV, academic background, and relevant research or technical experience to Nicola Toschi.
