Research Opportunities
As a PhD student or postdoc in our group, you will work in a high-impact research environment, collaborate with scientists across disciplines, and contribute to advancements in biomedical AI.
Why join our research group
Advancing healthcare is one of the most impactful contributions a researcher can make. AI-driven innovations have the potential to transform medicine, from precision diagnostics to personalized treatments. Our group works at the forefront of AI-powered biomedical research.
McWilliams School of Biomedical Informatics at UTHealth is ranked #2 worldwide in biomedical informatics. We work at the intersection of computational science and healthcare, on applications with real-world impact.
UTHealth is located in the Texas Medical Center (TMC), the largest medical center in the world. This gives us access to high-quality biomedical datasets, a critical foundation for advancing AI in medicine.
Texas has the second-largest economy in the U.S., and Houston is the fifth-largest U.S. city with a comparatively low cost of living. The region is a hub for biotech, AI, and medical research, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
Graduate students
We always welcome highly motivated and self-driven graduate students to join our group. Graduate research assistants will be paid stipend generously to fully cover tuitions and living expenses. High priority will be given to students with strong computational background (e.g., computer science, statistics, mathematics) and proven track records of research interest (publication, conference presentation, etc).
