The opportunity of 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 asthma and COPD, and to advance medical science. Simultaneously, you get to work on transformative AI projects at Rewire. 

After graduation, you will turn your research into a scientific publication. This way, your hard thesis work is transformed into concrete societal impact. 

The Science Traineeship is part of  the collaboration between the UMCG and Rewire . Since the start six years ago, we have already worked on 10 different research streams. The number of people involved – from both the Rewire and UMCG side – has increased from 5 to 15. Will you be the next to join this unique team? 

What does the Science Traineeship look like?

• The Science Traineeship is a full-time program for 12-18 months, dependent on the requirements for your Master thesis.

• During this period you work on your thesis research for 3 days a week. On the other 2 days, you get the opportunity to work on one of Rewire’s AI Business projects in a regular project team.

• In the first half of the traineeship, your research is focused on your thesis and successful graduation. After graduation, you will turn your research into a scientific publication. This way, your hard thesis work is transformed into concrete societal impact.

• The research will focus on building a deep learning (Image Recognition) model to identify patterns in rare lung diseases. With this research you will make a vital contribution to the clinical field and help to improve the care for patients with lung diseases. You will work together with a group of leading academics in their field.

• As Science Trainee, you are part of the Advanced Analytics team within Rewire. Being part of this team, you join all team meetings, outings and experience what working as a Data Scientist at Rewire entails.

• At Rewire you are part of a dynamic working environment, literally and figuratively. For your research, you can work at the Rewire office surrounded by many like-minded and ambitious colleagues. For your business project you get to travel to the client’s office or work with your team at our office. Of course, working from home is also possible. On Fridays, most Rewire colleagues are at the Amsterdam office to catch up, have team meetings and kick-off the weekend with Friday afternoon drinks.

• A unique opportunity to graduate, while employing your analytical skills to make a societal contribution.
