The Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging (AIMI) lab at the University of Bern's ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research invites software engineer student applications with a strong background in programming to work on innovative surgical technology. We seek enthusiastic candidates with excellent technical skills to join our research group.

The appointee will pursue the design, implementation, and maintenance of software
solutions for a novel interventional diagnostic technology. An important part of the objectives will be to develop software solutions that provide real-time diagnostics to surgical and medical staff during cancer surgery. No previous experience in healthcare is necessary – only a desire to learn and innovate in the field.

Required experience and skills
  • Strong Python development skills.
  • Familiarity with Git and GitHub.
  • Good English language skills, both written and verbal.
Other desirable (but not required) skills
  • Familiarity with fundamental concepts of functional programming.

  • Possession of a GitHub account with demonstrable projects (personal or
professional).

The AIMI lab offers a creative and international environment to conduct exciting and
competitive research with an interdisciplinary team. Strongly linked to the Bern University Hospital (Inselspital) and part of the new Center for AI in Medicine, the AIMI lab strives to provide a coherent and holistic view of how AI in healthcare can benefit patients by designing and developing fundamental and translation research.
