Post-doc position in Bayesian networks for evidence-based medicine

Country/Region : Portugal

Website : http://www.eracareers.pt/opportunities/i...

Description

We are opening a temporary post-doc position within the scope of project NanoSTIMA, at CINTESIS, in Porto, Portugal.
The position is for ~1.5 years (ends July 2018), with a monthly salary of ?1495 plus covered social insurance.
The topic of the position is
“Bayesian networks in evidence-based medicine"
and we are looking for people holding a PhD in the areas of Computer Science, Health Sciences, Clinical Research, Health Services Research, and pertaining areas, with proven experience in Bayesian statistical modeling or machine learning. Preferably the candidate should have previous experience in fields relevant for the project, namely in modeling with temporal Bayesian networks, clinical and health services research, and evidence-based medicine.
Candidates without a PhD but holding a MSc and a strong publication record might also be considered to fill in the position (although for a lower salary level of ?980/month).
The general aim is to design a reliable statistical procedure for using Bayesian networks in clinical research, enabling a clear fundamental comparison of Bayesian networks reasoning with biostatistics methods traditionally used in clinical research.
The selected candidate will work directly with the research line coordinator and another researcher who is already studying Bayesian networks as evidence synthesis models, to explore the aggregated evidence described in a traditional meta-analysis using Bayesian networks, and to represent clinical knowledge using Bayesian networks as clinical guideline for decision support.
