PhD Scholarships in Biomedical Data Mining

The University of Geneva Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

successful candidates will participate in EU-funded projects and
investigate advanced knowledge discovery issues related to biomedical
applications for their thesis.

Candidates should have an M.Sc. and outstanding skills in at least
two of the following areas: machine learning/data mining,
mathematics/statistics, bioinformatics, medical informatics, knowledge
management. For one of the positions, experience and/or training in
biostatistics will be an additional asset. A strong academic record,
excellent analytical skills and a clear aptitude for autonomous,
creative research will be priority selection criteria. Good
