4 PhD Positions in Data Analytics and Decision Sciences at Human Technopole
Are you passionate about AI, mathematical modelling, or genomics, and eager to work on high-impact research in biomedical science? Human Technopole is excited to offer four fully-funded PhD positions as part of the prestigious PhD Programme in Data Analytics and Decision Sciences of the Politecnico di Milano.
Available Positions:
Exposome AI – Modelling Environmental data to enrich epidemiological studies – Ieva Group
Generative Artificial Intelligence for large-scale longitudinal Health Data – Di Angelantonio Group
Computational Morphogenesis – Funke Group
Mathematical Modelling of Stochastic Biological Processes – Pinheiro Group
Why These PhD Positions Are Unique:
Tackle cutting-edge problems at the intersection of AI, mathematical modelling, and biomedicine
Join world-class research groups with international visibility and collaborative culture
Enjoy a competitive fully-funded scholarship, plus support for international research stays
Access to international conferences, specialized workshops, and state-of-the-art facilities
Receive advanced, interdisciplinary training tailored to the evolving landscape of biomedical data science
Meet the Research Groups
You’ll join one of three innovative and collaborative teams, each led by a renowned scientist:
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.
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.
Meet Andrea Ganna, new Senior Group Leader in the Health Data Science Research Centre. His research integrates genetics, electronic health records, national health registries and population-scale biobanks to improve the early detection of common diseases and support more effective public health interventions.
Human Technopole welcomes Wolfram Pönisch as a new Research Group Leader in the Computational Biology Research Centre – Biophysical Modelling and Simulations Programme. A theoretical physicist by training, Wolfram studies the stochastic morphodynamics of living systems: how cells and tissues change shape, fluctuate and use these dynamics to influence biological processes.
Human Technopole has opened a new Call for Access to its National Facilities, offering researchers across Italy the opportunity to use advanced technologies, specialised expertise and scientific support across HT’s shared research infrastructure.
