We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to join our group at the AI department of the Donders institute and work on the prediction and control of complex stochastic processes.
You will contribute to the development of a theoretically sound and computationally scalable framework for understanding and predicting the evolution of longitudinal data (i.e. nowcasting, prognosis, anomaly detection) in the health domain. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research within the Healthy Data programme, focused on advancing AI techniques and their application to improve health and healthcare in society. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will take on a key role in coordinating the project and collaborating closely with the research team, PhD candidates and staff members. Your responsibilities will include co-supervising PhD candidates, providing guidance and support in their research activities. You will work in collaboration with an ICT developer to adapt and optimise methods for health data applications. Your primary focus will be on developing and implementing techniques for the prediction and control of complex stochastic processes, with an emphasis on nowcasting, prognosis, anomaly detection, and understanding the impact of control policies. In addition, you will test and validate these methods using publicly available datasets and collaborate with partners in the Healthy Data programme to apply these methods to health data collected within the programme. Your research efforts will also involve the exploration and development of other techniques, such as distributed control, fractional-order control, and regression discontinuity methods. Overall, your work will contribute to the advancement of prediction and control methodologies and their application in the health domain, with a goal of making a significant impact in the field. Profile
We areThe Radboud Healthy Data Programme is a joint, digital transformation programme of Radboud University and the Radboud university medical center. Radboud Healthy Data aims to connect and further develop our expertise in health-related data management and AI, with the purpose of enhancing the development of a responsible and sustainable digital infrastructure for the entire Radboud University campus. Focus areas in our programme are FAIR data stewardship, AI methods, education, ethical/legal/societal considerations, data-related community activities, and scientific breakthroughs. We build upon our strong history and ongoing activities with partners in our networks. Through Healthy Data, we will strengthen our data-driven infrastructure and our collaborative AI research at the Radboud University campus to improve health and healthcare in society.Ideally, you therefore have experience or an affinity with working in a scrum team and know how to co-create sustainable solutions that will strengthen our data-driven infrastructure and/or AI applications for healthcare. The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviouris a world-class interfaculty research centre that houses more than 700 researchers devoted to understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of the human mind. Research at the Donders Institute is focused around four themes: 1. Language and communication, 2. Perception, action and control, 3. Plasticity and memory, 4. Neural computation and neurotechnology. Excellent, state-of-the-art research facilities are available for the broad range of neuroscience research that is being conducted at the Donders Institute. The Donders Institute has been assessed by an international evaluation committee as 'excellent' and recognised as a 'very stimulating environment for top researchers, as well as for young talent'. The Donders Institute fosters a collaborative, multidisciplinary, supportive research environment with a diverse international staff. English is the lingua franca at the Institute.
We are keen to meet critical thinkers who want to look closer at what really matters. People who, from their expertise, wish to contribute to a healthy, free world with equal opportunities for all. This ambition unites more than 24,000 students and 5,600 employees at Radboud University and requires even more talent, collaboration and lifelong learning. You have a part to play! |
