Description
We are searching for a postdoctoral candidate with a strong background in qualitative studies to research the managerial aspects of the cutting-edge AIR (Artificial Intelligence in Radiology) project. This project aims to co-develop an algorithm to assist radiologists in assessing lung disease over time. It involves Brazilian and Swedish actors in the healthcare field and includes members from organizations such as InRad (the Institute of Radiology), CERTI foundation (research institute), Philips Healthcare, Capitainer AB, and Halmstad University. The research will focus on understanding responses to paradoxical tensions across ethical, legal, and technical principles for developing a trustworthy AI solution.
As a postdoctoral fellow, your role will involve designing and conducting research within the AIR project framework. While data scientists develop the algorithm, you interview and observe the interplay between healthcare professionals, engineers and legal advisors in solving emerging tensions. Additionally, you'll collaborate with colleagues from different faculties at Halmstad University and scholars from the University of São Paulo, expanding your international network.
The postdoctoral fellow will have the exciting opportunity to gather empirical data from leading Brazilian hospitals, MedTech companies, and research institutes involved in the AIR project. This data, collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, will play a crucial role in exploring the collaborative development of an innovative algorithm.
Your responsibilities will mainly include, but not limited to:
You will be supervised by Dr. Fábio Gama (Halmstad University) and MD Vinícius Guirado (University of São Paulo).
