Your responsibilities

As a postdoctoral researcher within AIDA (Analytic Imaging Diagnostics Arena), you will work on building a national knowledge base for AI implementation in medical imaging. The work involves mapping and analyzing Swedish healthcare providers' experiences with implementing AI solutions in clinical practice, with a particular focus on radiology and pathology. Based on the collected material, you will develop guiding support documents and frameworks for the systematic and methodical introduction of AI in healthcare.

You will work in close collaboration with clinicians, researchers, and operational managers across the country, and disseminate results via AIDA's platforms, workshops, AI courses, and external conferences. The position combines independent research work with active collaboration within a broad interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral network.

As a postdoctoral researcher, your primary focus will be research. Teaching may also be included in the duties, but no more than one-fifth of the working time.

We also believe that you have experience in research or practical work within healthcare organizations, knowledge of AI applications in clinical contexts, and experience in compiling and communicating research results to broad audiences. Experience in stakeholder management and project management is meritorious.

You are analytical, self-directed, and have a pronounced ability to build relationships and collaborate with actors from different sectors – healthcare, academia, and industry.
