Call for PhD Students

As a key part of its operations

Sano provides an opportunity for young researchers to conduct research in computational medicine as a part of the international, multi-disciplinary PhD programme. Sano collaborates with partnering universities (including University of Sheffield, AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, Collegium Medicum of Jagiellonian University in Kraków, University of Amsterdam) and other eligible institutions that will conduct the formal procedure of granting the PhD degree.

PhD programme at Sano means

crossing the border between medicine, computer science and biomedical engineering, it grants an amazing opportunity for Students to be involved in international collaborations, both academic and industrial. As a part of the programme, the Students will spend up to 6 months abroad within the partnering institutions for training and research visits.
We highly encourage everyone interested to apply. Work with us for the future benefit of healthcare!
You can contact the Human Talent Team m.golabek@sanoscience.org or m.madura@sanoscience.org

Benefits to topic proposers

Co-authorship of the student’s publications resulting from the project:

Direct access to the developed technological solution on every stage of its development

Possibility to co-supervise the resultant PhD Thesis (provided the proposer has the ability to supervise PhDs in her/his own institution)

Ability to consult and influence the final shape of the created solution to the stated clinical problem

Access to training programs, courses, workshops and seminars offered by Sano
