Alaa Lab PhD Recruitment

The Alaa Lab at the University of California, Berkeley and UCSF is recruiting PhD students for Fall 2027. The lab focuses on computational methods, artificial intelligence and healthcare, and opportunities are available through UC Berkeley’s Computational Precision Health, EECS AI-H Track, or Statistics programmes. Prospective students can pursue research with a focus on independent, student-driven projects and potential co-advising with UCSF faculty.

PhD-level applicants with strong computational backgrounds in computer science, statistics, AI, or related quantitative disciplines; experience in health or medical research is beneficial but not required.

Apply through the relevant UC Berkeley graduate programmes (Computational Precision Health, EECS AI-H Track, or Statistics). List Ahmed as a preferred advisor and consider completing the lab’s interest form.
