🚀India deserves its own open source radiology and medical foundation models, evaluated on Indian data and built by Indian teams. We are hiring clinicians, engineers and researchers to make that happen. 🇮🇳 Please repost to help us reach to the right candidates!
✅At @KCDH_A (Koita Centre for Digital Health at Ashoka University) @AshokaUniv and CRASH Lab, we often get asked whether we are training the next generation of scientists, physicians, and engineers for the healthcare AI boom that is coming, and the debate usually ends with the same conclusion: that AI will create many more jobs but those jobs will demand a different set of skills to use, build and evaluate AI. If we are being honest, we have not been doing enough on this front, which is exactly what we are changing today.
🔥We are expanding our team and opening positions across research, engineering, and clinical roles, all sitting within fully funded projects of national and international scale, where we build India's own open source healthcare foundational models, run large-scale national evaluations, and create the benchmarks for foundational models and agentic workflows that are actually relevant to the Indian setup.
🚨We are hiring Senior Research Fellows, Clinical Evaluation Leads, and AI Evaluation Engineers, and we are grateful to our supporters and collaborators, including @IndiaDST, @gatesfoundation, @FoundationKoita, @NUSingapore, @MSFTResearch, @AarthiScans etc. who are part of this effort!
👇🏽We will be rolling out interviews starting next week, so please apply as soon as you can, because we will be closing positions as suitable candidates come through and all the roles get filled!
🇮🇳This is a chance to be in India and build for India, learning from some of the best people and teams who have built a few of the finest models and evaluation frameworks anywhere, and because it is an academic role, it gives you the experience and exposure to cutting-edge AI research and development from teams who have published across @ScienceMagazine, @Nature, @TheLancet, @NEJM_AI, etc. and hopefully, together, we get to spearhead the healthcare transformation journey for the country!
🧵 Roles below 👇
Our latest from Dr. @ShraddhaKB article in @WellcomeOpenRes examines how ambient air pollution may influence antifungal resistance in Candida glabrata, highlighting the value of environmental surveillance in AMR prediction and public health.

Disease X is not a hypothetical threat lurking in some distant jungle. It is a near certainty.
Anurag Agrawal (@AnuragAgrawalMD), Dean, Biosciences and Health Research, Trivedi School of Biosciences, Ashoka University, writes on the recent hantavirus scare and why emerging infectious diseases continue to remain a serious public health challenge for India and the world.
'Disease X will almost certainly emerge from the blurred frontier between humans and animals. Our actions will be judged not by how fast we mobilise once it arrives, but by how much we did in the quieter years before,' writes Professor Anurag Agrawal.
