1 fully-funded PhD Position in the Jug Group through DADS
Are you passionate about AI, cutting-edge research, and making a real impact in biomedical science? The Jug Group at Human Technopole is thrilled to announce a new PhD opportunity as part of the prestigious PhD Programme in Data Analytics and Decision Sciences of the Politecnico of Milan.
Project Title: “AI Methods for Molecular Data Across Scales“
This is your chance to help revolutionize how we understand biology. You’ll develop next-generation AI tools – including foundation models – to integrate molecular and imaging data from complex biological systems. We combine spatial transcriptomics and high-resolution microscopy to see what others can’t – and we want you to be part of this journey.
Why this PhD is special:
- Work at the intersection of AI and biomedicine on a problem with real-world impact
- Competitive fully-funded scholarship, with additional support for international research stays
- Access to international conferences, workshops, and state-of-the-art research facilities
- Advanced training for roles in academia, biotech, and the AI industry
The Team
You’ll join a dynamic, collaborative group led by Dr. Florian Jug, alongside expert data analysts and fellow PhD students in a cutting-edge research environment. Our mission? To design AI solutions that decode the language of cells and tissues – across time and space.
The selected student will be co-supervised by Francesca Ieva.
Application
The application process is competitive, targeting young scientists from both national and international communities.
Detailed information on the call and on the application process here. Deadline 9 July 2025.

Beyond cancer dependency maps: the PRECISE vision
PRECISE (Predictive Relationships Explaining Cancer Genetic Interactions and Synthetic Essentiality) is a pan-European initiative that aims to move cancer research beyond cataloguing cancer vulnerabilities towards predicting them before they are experimentally tested. Human Technopole (HT) is among the founding partners of the consortium, with Francesco Iorio leading its scientific activities across the institute alongside other HT research groups. The consortium and its scientific vision are presented in a Nature Genetics commentary.

Introducing Dollie LaJoie
Dollie LaJoie is a new Research Group Leader at Human Technopole, in the Molecular Cell Biology Research Centre. Her research explores how mutations in proteins can alter cell behaviour and contribute to human disease. By combining cell biology, biochemistry and crosslinking mass spectrometry, her Group will study diseases of the nuclear envelope and investigate the nucleus as a dynamic environment that responds to the specific needs of different cell types.
