We are looking for a candidate with research interest and experience in the field of data processing and analytics of health-relevant data.

The candidate combines modern approaches from the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning to accomplish the aforementioned key aspects of Digital Health. The professorship is located at the Medical Faculty and embedded in the newly founded Center for Biomedical Informatics. A close cooperation with the Center for Information and Medical Technology (ZIM) of the University Hospital Heidelberg and the clinics and institutes is desired.
In accordance with Section 51 Landeshochschulgesetz Baden-Württemberg (the Baden-Württemberg State Higher Education Act), this appointment requires a completed degree, an excellent doctorate, and pedagogical aptitude which has generally been proven through teaching experience. The professorship is a qualification position. If you spent time employed as a research assistant (before or after your doctorate), this employment and the period of your doctoral studies combined should not exceed six years.
