Join our mission to transform healthcare


Research collaborations


Are you a clinician and interested in using machine learning to solve a pressing medical problem? Are you a data scientist and interested in validating one of our models on your own dataset? If so, get in touch directly with PI Farah Shamout to discuss your idea, and the prospects and logistics of a collaboration.

PhD positions


We hire PhD candidates via the competitive NYU Global PhD Fellowship for either the (i) PhD in Computer Science or (ii) PhD in Biomedical Engineering. The Global PhD Student Fellowship is in collaboration with the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Students spend the first year in New York for courses, followed by three years of research in Abu Dhabi. The fellowship offers a competitive compensation package, covering tuition costs, housing in Abu Dhabi, a monthly stipend, as well as additional support for relocation.

Successful candidates are expected to have (i) a Master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or related fields, (ii) track-record of excellent academic achievement (GPA > 3.7), (iii) and an unwavering passion for transforming healthcare. Previous research experience is preferred.

If you are interested or have any questions, please complete this form.

Visiting graduate students


We occasionally hire graduate (MSc and PhD) students as visiting scholars. If you are interested, please share your CV, cover letter, and transcripts via email.
