For interested individual, please send your personal statement(+CV) and transcript to kyskim@snu.ac.kr (Korean or English).

[+ Additional Notice (Since 03/2025) : I am currently recruiting PhD or integrated MS-PhD students under joint supervision with Prof. Seo Hyungseok for research on cutting-edge AI technologies based on AlphaFold. Don’t miss this valuable opportunity: Please send me an email at kyskim@snu.ac.kr with the required/above information]

Lab Description: 

• The Artificial Intelligence and Biomedical Informatics Lab (AIBL: https://aibl.snu.ac.kr/) at Seoul National University develops the latest AI fundamentals to state-of-the-art bioinformatics AI technologies, to train both Core (diffusion theory-based) AI + Biomedical (computational Imaging and 3D biostructure like protein/molecule-based) AI experts capable of publishing papers in world-renowned top AI conferences and bioinformatics AI journals. Our lab supports growth beyond the simple title of AI expert by developing advanced AI technologies applicable to medical and biomedical data, fostering development into professionals in medical AI.

• The principal investigator of the lab, Professor Kyungsu Kim, is affiliated with the School of Transdisciplinary and Innovation (for General/Medical AI fields), the College of Medicine (Department of Medical Science), and the AI Graduate School at Seoul National University. Through a diverse collaborative network in medical and biomedical fields, the lab provides researchers with the opportunity to handle real-world medical data, not just publicly available datasets.

• The development of medical AI, which involves dealing with patients' lives, has a higher level of difficulty and more restrictions on data access than general AI development, resulting in a high entry barrier. However, our lab has a systematic system in place to overcome these challenges. We welcome applications from individuals with passion and motivation who aspire to grow into AI technology experts capable of developing not only Core and Fundamental AI but also globally commercialized AI solutions in the medical field. 

Role Description:

• We are recruiting full-time Master's, Integrated Master's-Ph.D., and Ph.D. students to work as AI researchers at Seoul National University (Seoul, South Korea). This role includes researching and developing AI algorithms, data analysis, pattern recognition, statistical modeling, and collaborating with a team of experts to advance AI core technologies and their applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support distinctive growth as both core AI and biomedical AI expert, by presenting and publishing papers in world-renowned top AI conferences and top bioinformatics AI journals

• Collaborate with AI researchers and medical expert teams to drive innovative AI solutions

Qualifications:

• Capabilities or potentialities related to Computer Science (or AI) together with  Mathematic Science (to understand Diffusion-like theory) or Biochemistry (e.g. to understand Alphafold) or (Electrical+/Biomedical+) Engineering (e.g. to understand Core+Medical SW+HW AI system) or Bioinformatic (to understand Multimodal pathological AI) fields (Undergraduate double major or similar experience preferred)

• Strong motivation and experience in the field of AI (preference for top AI conference publication)

• Proficiency in AI/CS programming languages such as Python or C++
