Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team and make significant contributions to improving patient outcomes and decision-making in healthcare.
Project description
This project is a collaboration between the AIXLab at Chalmers (www.usableai.se) and Sahlgrenska University Hospital. At AIXLab, we focus on developing AI solutions that are usable and applicable in real-world settings. In partnership with Sahlgrenska, we are working to advance AI-based decision-making systems, specifically designed for medical use. Our primary aim is to establish a solid framework for creating domain-specific LLMs tailored to safety-critical applications.
Major responsibilities
In this role, you will work with multimodal patient data to design, develop, and implement a safety-critical AI decision-making system. You will collaborate closely with both AI and medical researchers to ensure the system's effectiveness and reliability. Additionally, you will contribute to publishing research papers and advancing knowledge in the field.
Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.
