The research activity involves the study of multimodal and generative models, representation learning, and data-driven approaches applied to medical imaging and heterogeneous biomedical data. The goal is to learn image-derived representations that capture phenotypic information and can be used as predictive proxies for underlying genotypic factors and genetic risk. The emphasis is on developing models that leverage high-dimensional imaging data and contextual information to predict genotype-related information, going beyond traditional statistical association-based approaches.
Job Responsibility:
Develop and study machine learning models that link medical imaging data to latent biological or genotypic factors, under limited supervision and data heterogeneity
Conduct research activities on key AIGO research topics, both independently and collaboratively
Supervise the research activities of PhD students within the team
Contribute to publications in high-level scientific journals and conferences
Support the preparation of national, international, and industrial project proposals
Requirements:
A PhD in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related disciplines
Documented experience in Machine/Deep Learning and Computer Vision, preferably applied to medical or biomedical imaging, with particular attention to multimodal learning
In-depth knowledge of generative models (e.g., GANs, diffusion models, encoder–decoder architectures, optimal transport models), including their use for representation learning or data modeling in scientific domains
Strong command of modern deep learning approaches, including Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Transformers
Excellent programming skills, preferably in Python, with hands-on experience using AI and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch (preferred), TensorFlow, or equivalent)
Strong publication record in relevant scientific venues
Excellent written and spoken English
Nice to have:
Knowledge or experience with multimodal approaches and topics such as domain adaptation, few/zero-shot learning, self-supervised learning, model debiasing, and continual learning
Experience working with biomedical or biological data, including imaging-derived features, structured metadata, or population-level measurements
Experience applying deep learning techniques in diverse scientific domains (e.g., chemistry, materials, imaging, drug discovery, physics)
Experience fine-tuning and deploying foundational DL models, including LLMs and VLMs
Hands-on experience deploying models on HPC infrastructures
Capacity to work autonomously and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment
Possess Analytical Reasoning skills and a growth mindset
