Job Responsibilities

The research in the position is closely linked to the research program Information-driven care and the research group Healthcare improvement research group. The responsibilities included in the position involve full-time research and co-production activities to contribute to knowledge development and promote the implementation of information-driven care. We are looking for two candidates for two-year postdoctoral positions in either of two directions.

AI in Healthcare and Implementation

The research area focuses on bridging the barriers that currently limit the use of AI systems in clinical practice. By developing expertise and conducting research, the work aims to support effective implementation of AI in healthcare. The tasks include leading and developing research on AI implementation with a focus on applicable frameworks and strategies, as well as promoting collaboration with healthcare providers and industry actors to ensure practical and successful use of AI.

AI in Healthcare and Ethics

The research area focuses on exploring various aspects of ethical issues within information-driven care. As technology and data-driven methods advance rapidly, it becomes increasingly important to carefully examine and understand the ethical implications. The research aims to review and develop ethical frameworks and guidelines to ensure responsible and ethical use of technology in healthcare, as well as to strengthen trust and acceptance among healthcare professionals and patients.

Qualifications

Eligible for employment as a postdoctoral researcher is someone who has obtained a doctoral degree or has a foreign degree that is assessed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This eligibility requirement must be fulfilled no later than at the time the employment decision is made. To be employed, preference will primarily be given to those who have obtained their degree within the last three years. When calculating the three-year time frame, the deadline for applications is the starting point. If there are special reasons, such a degree may have been obtained earlier than stated. Special reasons include leave due to illness, parental leave, trust assignments within trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances, as well as clinical service or relevant service/assignments for the subject area.

Other Qualifications

• Doctoral degree relevant to the field of information-driven care and one of the two directions of the advertisement.
• Documented analytical ability and critical thinking.
• Ability to conduct research within the described area and to collaborate between different scientific competencies and external partners from the public sector and industry.
• Good communication skills and excellent proficiency in spoken and written Swedish and English.
