Give us a chance to meet you
  • About us:

Sano Centre for Computational Medicine is a new International Scientific Foundation located in Kraków, Poland.

Sano aspires to be a major translational scientific institute, operating at the meeting point of academic science, established MedTech industry, and emerging start-up environment, combining the best of these three perspectives.

Sano acts as a core technology and expertise provider for industry, and creator of innovation, developing state-of-the-art solutions for healthcare. Thanks to the substantial funding and excellent European partnership network, Sano will bring a critical mass to this transformational field of research, in order to translate scientific advancements onto clinical practice. Sano’s ambition is to become the Reference Centre for Computational Medicine in Central Europe and build a reputation as a leading institute on a global level.

As a cross-disciplinary institution, Sano uses machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI), large scale computer simulations (HPC), data science, and other computational technologies towards overcoming global challenges in healthcare systems. The research agenda will be executed in close collaboration with Partners in Poland, EU and USA.

We value:

  • Passion – Passion in what we do, engagement in Sano operations, taking responsibility, providing initiative, being happy at work.
  • Innovation – Boldness in articulating and pursuing novel ideas, courage to think outside the box.
  • Integrity – Directness, openness, tolerance and respect. Scientific integrity (we do not cut corners).
  • Diversity – Diversity in backgrounds, cultures and opinions of Sano employees. Promotion of women in STEM.
  • About job:
  • Level of education: PhD
  • Hours: 40 hours per week
  • Salary indication: up to 14000 PLN gross monthly
  • Project period: 2 years (e.g. January 2022 - January 2024)

BrainAndMore (BAM) lab focuses cutting edge genetic, molecular and mainly magnetic resonance imaging technology to understand diseases and support drug development efforts in the neuroscience field. 

In this project we want to investigate novel representations of neuroimaging beyond connectomes, by using both structural and functional data. This would allow the development of policies and frameworks fitted to change behavior which is a central element to reduce the burden of these diseases on the health care systems. With this project we will develop the machine self-learning algorithms to create personal evidence on individual multiple long-term conditions (MLTC) also known as multimorbidity’s.

This project will be carried out in cooperation with machine learning and AI scientists at SANO and its partners and by developing external collaborations with Krakow health providers and with UK and Portuguese Universities.
