Join Us

BioMIT brings together researchers working on biosignal analysis, energy-based therapies, and electroporation. Research positions and doctoral opportunities arise periodically as projects develop.

There are currently no open positions in the group. You are welcome to contact us about your research interests and possible future opportunities. Any formal opening will have its own requirements and application process.

For Prospective PhD Students

Relevant backgrounds. Our research may suit students with training in biomedical, electrical, or electronic engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, physics, or related fields. An interest in connecting engineering methods with biomedical questions is particularly valuable.

Useful skills. Depending on the project, useful preparation includes programming in Python or MATLAB, signal processing, statistics and machine learning, numerical modeling, or experimental methods. You do not need experience in every area: the most relevant skills depend on the research topic.

Start a conversation. Explore our research lines and projects, then contact us with a brief introduction, your academic background, a CV, and the topic you would like to investigate. Please also mention your availability and any funding or fellowship plans. An initial inquiry does not imply admission or a funded position.
