PhD opportunity AI & Neuroimaging - Horizon Europe

📣 BRIDGE-AI: Fully funded PhD positions in AI & Neuroimaging 📣

We’re excited to share that the BRIDGE-AI Doctoral Network is now accepting applications for 15 PhD positions across Europe, focused on trustworthy AI for longitudinal neuroimaging. These projects span academia and industry, offering a unique opportunity to develop cutting-edge AI methods that help track and predict neurological disorders over time. Deadline to apply is 30

January 2026 - don’t miss it! 


✨ Why apply?

• Fully funded 3-year PhD positions with competitive support packages• Interdisciplinary training with academic and industry collaborators• Work on impactful research that bridges AI, medical imaging and clinical practice 


🚀 Positions to watch (based partly in Belgium at Icometrix)


🔹 Position 2 (Leuven, Belgium – Icometrix / UCLouvain):

Develop robust volumetric segmentation and analysis tools for longitudinal brain MRI, especially in the presence of lesions and abnormalities. This project will advance deep learning models that can reliably disentangle real anatomical changes (like atrophy) from evolving pathology across time.


🔹 Position 4 (Leuven, Belgium – Icometrix / Aalto):

Focus on making longitudinal monitoring of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) more robust to scanner variability. The goal is to create deep-learning methods that harmonize MRI data across different machines and protocols, improving long-term tracking of brain atrophy and lesion changes in MS patients.


🔹 Position 7 (Leuven, Belgium – Icometrix / Aalto):

Work on self-supervised learning to build generalizable representations from heterogeneous MRI data. This project aims to pre-train models on large diverse datasets so they perform reliably across different clinical settings and downstream tasks like lesion segmentation and disease progression prediction. 


💡 About Icometrix

Icometrix is a Belgian AI-driven healthcare company based in Leuven, specialising in quantitative brain imaging software. Their solutions (e.g., the icobrain platform) extract meaningful, standardised measurements from MRI scans to support radiologists and neurologists in diagnosing and monitoring neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis and dementia.
