Student Assistant Positions in Medical Robotics – DANARC Project

The Medical Robotics Group is looking for 1 motivated student assistant to join our team and contribute to the DANARC project.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading global cause of death, resulting in over 12,000 deaths annually in Denmark. Echocardiography is a key first-line diagnostic tool, however, growing demand, workforce shortages, and an ageing population have created capacity bottlenecks and long waiting times, delaying diagnosis and treatment. DANARC aims to overcome these challenges by developing a medical robotic system capable of autonomously performing standard echocardiography.

Your primary tasks will include:

• Setup annotation platform for labelling Echocardiography videos.
• Supporting data collection and processing.
• Test diffusion model to generate ultrasound data.

We expect that you:

• Are solution-oriented and proactive;
• Take responsibility for assigned tasks and ensure timely follow-up;
• Can communicate effectively in English;
• Have a positive and collaborative approach to teamwork;
• Have a background or strong interest in robotic control and deep learning.

We offer:

• Workplace located in Odense;
• Approximately 8-14 hours per week;
• A flexible schedule to accommodate your studies;
• A stimulating and interdisciplinary research environment.

Experience working with medical imaging and anatomical knowledge about the heart is considered an advantage. The job would last until the end of June 2026.
