Junior Researcher – 0.5 FTE (doctoral student) (M/F) - Centre for Credible AI (CCAI/2026/R1/10)

Warsaw University of Technology is recruiting three Junior Researchers (doctoral students) at 0.5 FTE for the Centre for Credible AI, working at the interface of machine learning, cancer genomics, and precision oncology.

The person employed in this position will participate in research of a team working at the interface of machine learning, cancer genomics, and precision oncology. The work is interdisciplinary in nature and requires close cooperation with research teams in the development, optimisation, and application of computational methods that connect molecular and morphological features of tumors to the underlying DNA processes that shape them, with the broader goal of improving biomarker discovery and supporting precision oncology. Research spans probabilistic modeling of mutagenic processes, explainable deep learning applied to histopathology, and the integration of genomic, imaging, and clinical data. Candidates will work with large-scale public cancer cohorts and contribute to open-access tools for the research community. The position offers close supervision from researchers active in cancer genomics, machine learning, and explainable AI. Successful applicants will be expected to contribute to peer-reviewed publications and to the development of methods with translational potential.
