The recruited person will be expected to approximately teach 20% and do research to 80%.
The availability of data is changing rapidly in healthcare. Information-driven care will make use of all this data, together with data analytics and machine learning, to improve the healthcare system. There are still challenges to address, from pure machine learning challenges to the transformation into information-driven healthcare system. The CAISR Health research initiative at Halmstad University will focus on information-driven care, understanding the whole chain from formulating and prioritizing questions, to algorithms, to data collection, to engagement, to explainability, and to implementation. CAISR Health is a collaboration between industrial partners (such as Novartis and Cambio), Region Halland and Halmstad University.
We are recruiting a senior lecturer associated with CAISR Health with a focus on AI and machine learning. Projects within CAISR Health will cover a broad range of machine learning methods using comprehensive healthcare data for applications such as diagnosis and outcome predictions. Working with heterogenous healthcare data, creating meaningful and interpretable data representations, as well as developing explainable machine learning models will be important for CAISR Health.
AI and ML is an important part of our education. The recruited person will have an opportunity to advance Bachelor and Master level courses such as Artificial Intelligence, Learning Systems, Data Mining, Applied Data Mining, and Deep Learning.
