We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher for the project "Sustainable Work Environment and Safe Clinical Implementation in Maternity and Childbirth Care."

The project combines research on organizational work environment with clinical studies in maternity and childbirth care.

The project is conducted in an interdisciplinary research environment and includes both qualitative and quantitative research approaches.

• being responsible for data management, data processing, and quality assurance of research data,
• taking an active and independent role in manuscript writing, including drafting results, methods, and discussion sections for scientific publications,
• compiling and presenting results to the project group, partners, and at scientific meetings,
• contributing to the development of the project's research questions, analysis strategies, and future publications.

The role also involves contributing to the development of analysis strategies, conducting qualitative and/or statistical analyses, interpreting results, and taking an active role in the production of scientific publications.

You are also expected to contribute to the development of the research environment through collaboration with internal and external actors, as well as by actively participating in knowledge dissemination and scientific communication.
