We are looking for a PhD student to join our team🌈 to explore how input
visualization can improve collective, data-driven sensemaking with the
general public. This research will focus on amplifying the voices of
underrepresented groups in public decision-making by designing systems that
foreground missing data and gaps in datasets. The project will involve
external partners such as NGOs or Museums for research interventions and
field studies.
*Institution: *Télécom Paris, Polytechnic Institute of Paris, France
*Start date: *Beginning of 2027
*Duration: *3 Years
*Funding: *Fully funded
*Application deadline: *14/09/2026
We are looking for a candidate with a background in in Human-Computer
Interaction, Information Visualization, Interaction Design, or a related
area.

SCOPE
AI is rapidly redefining biomedical research, clinical decision-making, and healthcare delivery worldwide. GeMAIHc 2027 will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art AI methodologies. Topics will include generative modelling, multimodal data integration and augmentation, large language models and clinical NLP, medical image synthesis and analysis, as well as evaluation, robustness, validation, ethical considerations, and regulatory aspects of AI systems in healthcare.
GeMAIHc 2027 aims to become a leading international forum at the intersection of generative AI, multimodal learning, and healthcare innovation. The program will emphasize both methodological foundations and real-world clinical applications, combining theoretical insights with practical perspectives.
This interdisciplinary event will feature 18 monographic three-hour courses, 2 keynote lectures, 3 scientific sessions, 1 symposium, and a hackathon.
Leading academics and industry pioneers will share their expertise and perspectives with attendees. In-person interaction and networking will be central components of the event, while full remote participation will also be possible.
ADDRESSED TO
The program is open to PhD students and postdoctoral researchers in AI, data science, and biomedical disciplines, clinicians and healthcare professionals, industry practitioners and innovators, and policymakers and stakeholders in digital health. There are no formal academic prerequisites for participation. Researchers and professionals at all career stages are welcome.
An international audience is expected, with backgrounds spanning computer science, medicine, engineering, mathematics, statistics, physics, and the social sciences.
GeMAIHc 2027 will offer a unique opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of a rapidly evolving field, to interact with experts across disciplines, to establish collaborations and expand professional networks, and to explore how AI is reshaping the future of healthcare.
