Offer Description
Are you a PhD candidate who is motivated to develop state-of-the-art medical imaging AI and integrate this to improve treatment of patients with liver tumors? In the AI-IMAGINE project we aim to develop AI with real clinical impact. Will you join our ambitious team?
As a PhD candidate, you will collaborate with a group of international clinicians and AI experts to explore innovative AI methods for intra-operative evaluation and prediction of treatment success in thermal ablation treatment of liver tumors. This empowers clinicians to better assess treatment success during the actual treatment itself and, in future patients, allow immediate corrective treatment. Ultimately, we aim to enable first time-right treatment in all liver tumor patients and prevent unwanted re-treatments.
You will work from bench-to-bedside, covering the whole spectrum from data selection, curation, model development to first application in a clinical study. You will be involved in an international collaboration between Radboudumc, Leiden University Medical Center, Amsterdam University Medical Center, Medical University Innsbruck, Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine and the Dutch Liver Patient Association. The research is funded by a grant from Stichting Hanarth Fonds.
We offer:
- A stimulating and inspiring environment with a focus on direct impact on healthcare.
- A strong, multidisciplinary supervision team, headed by Kristian Overduin, technical physician Interventional Radiology, and Henkjan Huisman, professor of Medical Imaging AI at Radboudumc.
- Multitude of learning opportunities for personal and professional development (e.g. courses, conferences).
Where to apply

- Expertise in software development, preferably Python.
