This two+two years full-time employment at the School of Information Technology, with a starting date as soon as possible, is linked to the Department of Intelligent Systems and Digital Design, a dynamic research environment with the research focus on aware intelligent systems.
The subject expertise in the department is in machine learning, data mining, signal analysis, mechatronics, and digital service innovation. Mining of sensor data streams and medical records, big data analytics, self-monitoring, and deviation detection are examples of areas of particular interest for us. The department has a very good track record of doing research in close collaboration with the Swedish industry and public sector. Recently, the department has established a very close collaboration with Halland Hospital, a hospital being on the front edge of applying a data driven approach to make the healthcare more efficient and robust. Harvard Medical School and Harvard Business School are amongst collaborators in selected research projects. The department has about 30 MSEK annual research budget, with 14-17 PhD students and about 30 researchers with PhDs. The department hosts the Centre for Applied Intelligent Systems Research (CAISR). The latest annual report for CAISR is available at
www.hh.se/caisr.The unprecedented amount of data accessible today allows machine learning to focus on more descriptive and explanatory analysis. Users no longer pose well-formulated, concrete questions, but instead require the system to be capable of highlighting interesting aspects such as deviations, anomalies, relations and co-occurrences. It is almost effortless to generate data, while the cost of analysing it does not change. Of particular interest is continuous learning, where the training and usage is not easily separated, and the system improves its performance all the time, taking advantage of new data as it arrives. Automated reasoning about analysis results provided by a system is an important feature of aware systems we aim to create. An important aspect of the position is to find connections to other projects within the department and on identifying common problems and finding solutions applicable across multiple domains.
Principal duties
The selected candidate will become part of the very dynamic and international research environment at the Center for Applied Intelligent Systems Research (CAISR), at the School of Information Technology. For more information please see:
http://caisr.hh.se/ The post as assistant professor is a qualifying appointment with the purpose to give the employee a possibility to develop its independence as researcher and to obtain merits that should lead to a competence for another post with higher eligibility requirements, associate professor.

It is expected that the candidate has done at least one postdoctoral period after their PhD, i.e. we are looking for a more experienced person than a very recent PhD.
Also, we are a very international group and it is a merit if the candidate has experience from an academic environment outside of Sweden.
The main emphasis in the assessment of the applicant is on scientific skills, research productivity and pedagogical skills. Experience in research projects and working with industry is meriting, as well as publishing internationally and seeking and obtaining external funding for research. It is also meriting if you have done research on themes that are linked to CAISRs research focus. You should be self-motivated, have the ability to cooperate with others.
