New Job Oportunities
The DTIC department of UPF as a “Maria de Maeztu Centre of Excellence” is a hosting institution within the INPhINIT “La Caixa” incoming Fellowships Programme proposing 18 project proposals at the different research areas of DTIC. INPhINIT will recruit 35 PhD Early-stage researchers of any nationality to carry out their PhD projects in accredited centres with the Spanish Seal of Excellence Severo Ochoa, María de Maeztu or Health Institutes Carlos III and Portuguese research units accredited as “excellent” or “exceptional” according to the evaluation of the Fundação de Ciência e Tecnologia. In addition, researchers establish a personal career development plan including transnational, intersectorial and interdisciplinary mobility opportunities, and attend a full range of complementary training courses and workshops.
INPhINIT is focused on life sciences and health, technologies, physics, engineering and mathematics.
"La Caixa" Foundation will select the candidates who, subsequently, will propose the Research Centre and the pre-doctoral position in which he/she would like to do the research project. If there is agreement between the Centre, the supervisor, and the candidate, the fellowship will be awarded to the candidate.

- Multi-view learning and domain adaptation for heterogeneous medical imaging data (PI: Dr.Gemma Piella).
- Multiscale simulations for translational explorations of emphysema (PI: Dr.Jerome Noailly)
- Machine learning based radiomics-genomics integration for advanced disease quantification (PI: Dr.Karim Lekadir)
- Machine learning for the interpretable labelling of the cardiac microstructure from ultra-resolution synchrotron phase-contrast x-ray images (PI: Prof.Bart Bijnens)
