Science Trainee

The Science Traineeship

Our Science Traineeship is meant for ambitious and high-potential master’s students who want to do things differently. In collaboration with the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), you are offered the opportunity to write your master thesis in the medical field. The goal is to employ the power of data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to better understand complex diseases, like various forms of cancer, and to advance medical science. Simultaneously, you get to work on transformative AI projects at Rewire.

After graduation, you may have the opportunity to turn your research into a scientific publication, transforming your thesis work into tangible societal impact.

The Science Traineeship is part of the collaboration between the UMCG and Rewire. Since the start, over than six years ago, we have already worked on more than 10 different research streams with many enthusiastic colleagues involved from both Rewire and the UMCG. Will you be the next to join this unique project?
