The Machine Learning for Biomedical Research Unit, led by Dr. Davide Cirillo, is looking for a Junior Research Engineer with relevant experience to join research projects focusing on synthetic image generation.
The successful candidate will explore and apply Generative AI (GenAI) technologies for the generation and augmentation of synthetic biomedical data, with a primary focus on digital pathology and potentially radiological medical imaging.




By leveraging large-scale, heterogeneous datasets and HPC capabilities, the candidate will investigate how synthetic data generation can help improve model robustness and generalizability in precision medicine pipelines.
GANs, diffusion models) to generate synthetic data, which special emphasis on biomedical images.
Explore the use of synthetic data to enhance machine learning tasks such as patient stratification and disease subtyping.
Contribute to the design of novel GenAI-driven data augmentation strategies, evaluating the realism, diversity, and downstream utility of generated data using quantitative and domain-specific metrics.
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of bioinformaticians, data scientists, and clinicians to align AI outputs with clinical relevance.
Contribute to internal meetings and research dissemination efforts.
Master in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.
Solid understanding of machine learning, especially deep learning and generative models.
Familiarity with medical imaging and/or multi-omics data.




Programming proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
Experience with HPC environments and version control tools (e.g., Fluency in spoken and written English.
Ability to work independently and in a team-based, collaborative research environment.
