Offer Description
Are you interested in Bayesian networks in foundational topics and their application in clinical decision support systems? Do you want to work in an interdisciplinary environment and collaborate with mathematicians, cognitive scientists and medical specialists? If so, this vacancy may be for you!
The Personalised Care in Oncology (PersOn) consortium is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM) to work on explainability and justification in Bayesian networks. Together with other postdoctoral researchers and PhD candidates from various backgrounds, you will lay the foundations for the next generation of clinical decision support systems for treatment and follow-up in oncology. You will work closely together with other PGM experts, as well as with researchers, healthcare practitioners, and stakeholders in explainable decision support. Your work will involve foundational research, advancing the state of the art in Bayesian networks, as well as applied research, focusing on user requirements in terms of explanation and justification to help advance shared decision making about personalised healthcare.
You will be embedded in the Foundations of Natural and Stochastic Computing group within the AI department, where fundamental and applied research on Bayesian networks is one of the core research lines. You will be expected to help define the group's research focus and positioning within the Donders Centre for Cognition (DCC) and in the international PGM community, and to help maintain a safe and inspiring research environment for our team members. If so desired, you will be given the opportunity to develop your teaching skills, helping you further qualify for a career as independent academic researcher.
