   experience with XAI, self-supervised learning, multimodal models, diffusion
   models, or hyperbolic learning is an advantage
   - Experience working with medical data and/or healthcare projects is
   highly desired. Previous exposure to dermatology or other clinical fields
   is a plus
   - Advanced programming skills, including experience in writing efficient
   and clean code, and familiarity with modern AI frameworks
   - Ability to handle complex datasets, from preprocessing to model
   training and evaluation
   - Excellent communication and collaboration skills. Willingness to work
   in an interdisciplinary team, interacting with clinicians, and fellow
   researchers
   - Proficiency in English (oral and written); knowledge of other
   languages, in particular German, is an asset

How to Apply:
Please submit the following documents:

   1. *Curriculum Vitae* (including relevant coursework, publications, and
   programming experience)
   2. *Academic Transcripts* (with English translation, if applicable)
   3. *Cover Letter* (outlining your motivation, research interests, and
   relevant experience)
   4. *Sample Writing* (e.g., Master's thesis, scientific article, or
   project report)
   5. *Sample Coding* (e.g., GitHub repository)
   6. Contact information for at least two references

If you are passionate about combining cutting-edge AI with clinical
decision-making and eager to contribute to this innovative research, we
would love to hear from you.
