Work assignments
Several research projects within the field of health behavior and digital interventions are currently in progress at our department. Digital interventions which are targeted directly to individuals looking for help to, for instance, reduce their drinking, are being developed and evaluated. Your work assignments will include running new research projects, analyzing data from current projects, and applying for grant funding for future projects. Depending on your experience and expertise, specific assignments will include development and personalization of digital interventions, statistical modelling, and analysis of data (for instance survey and registry data), conducting qualitative studies among those looking for help, and conducting systematic reviews.

As postdoc, you will principally carry out research. A certain amount of teaching may be part of your duties, up to a maximum of 20% of working hours. You will also be given the opportunity to learn new methods, develop as an independent researcher, and gain experience of supervision.

The workplace
You will be employed in the Division of Society and Health within the research lab MHED-Lab. New funding has been approved to the lab, and so research into health behaviors is expanding - with an emphasis on digital interventions that are disseminated directly to individuals in society.
