Three PhD positions: Child Health through Artificial intelligence Models and Predictions

At the department of Developmental Psychology at Utrecht University we are looking for highly motivated candidates interested in one of three PhD projects as part of the Child Health through Artificial intelligence Models and Predictions (CHAMP) project. The CHAMP project, awarded with a NGF AiNed Fellowship grant to Dr. Sonja de Zwarte, aims to develop and apply deep learning techniques to extract valuable information on early brain and social-emotional development from already acquired images and videos within the YOUth cohort study to predict mental health outcome in children.

The three PhD vacancies each have their own focus, but the PhD candidates will work closely together in an interdisciplinary team of AI-specialists, computer scientists, psychologists, neuroscientists and environmental epidemiologists on the CHAMP project, all supervised by Dr. Sonja de Zwarte.
