## Description

We are offering an exciting postdoctoral position at the University of Barcelona within the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Lab (BCN-AIM), directed by Prof. Karim Lekadir and hosted within the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge research on trustworthy generative artificial intelligence in oncology as part of the Horizon Europe AIM-SAFE project.

Concretely, we offer:

 * A research position in beautiful Barcelona and its Mediterranean climate.
 * Research experience within a prestigious university (1st position in Spain).
 * Cutting-edge research in AI for healthcare in one of the most dynamic research groups in Europe (12 active projects including an ERC grant).
 * An international research environment by joining a multi-cultural team representing all continents.
 * Opportunities to collaborate with international and inter-disciplinary collaborators as part of the European projects.
 * Support in career development (e.g. grant applications, supervision of PhD students).
 * Travelling opportunities to scientific events, project meetings and international stays.
 * Freedom to independently conduct research and contribute with own ideas.
 * Flexible working hours, with possibility to telework.
 * Competitive salary equivalent to Assistant or Associate Professor at the University of Barcelona, depending on experience.
 * Contract duration until the end of the projects with the possibility to extend the contract as part of other grants within the lab.
The requirements for the position are:

 * Machine learning and deep learning algorithms.
 * Biomedical data science and multimodal medical data analysis., You will join our AI for oncology team as part of ongoing European Commission-funded projects such as AIM-SAFE and RadioVal, including projects coordinated by our laboratory. These initiatives focus on developing trustworthy, safe and explainable AI solutions to support personalised oncology and clinical decision-making. In particular, AIM-SAFE develops privacy-preserving generative AI assistants for multimodal clinical reasoning and patient safety, while RadioVal is conducting the first large-scale multi-centre clinical validation of radiomics-based AI for predicting breast cancer treatment response. The research builds on unique multimodal data repositories, real-world hospital data, trustworthy AI methods, computational tools and clinical evidence generated through major European oncology initiatives. As a member of our team, you will collaborate with leading technical and clinical partners across Europe (e.g. in the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom,
Greece, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Austria, Czechia and Turkey).
Your tasks:
In this position, your tasks will include:

 * Develop, implement and evaluate advanced AI methods for medical imaging and multimodal clinical data, with a focus on trustworthy AI and clinical decision support.
 * Contribute to the design and validation of innovative machine learning and foundation model approaches for healthcare applications.
 * Collaborate with technical and clinical partners to curate, harmonise and analyse multicentre datasets for AI development and evaluation.
 * Participate in the coordination, technical development and validation activities of European collaborative research projects.
 * Prepare scientific publications, technical deliverables and reports, and contribute to project management, dissemination and collaboration with international partners.
The group:
The successful candidate will join the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Lab, which is an integral part of the University of Barcelona's Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. It is a young and dynamic research lab, highly active in international projects, and composed of >25 enthusiastic academics, researchers, students and research managers, with expertise in data science, machine/deep learning, biomedical informatics, trustworthy AI, and health-related applications. The research group has an established track record in coordination and participation in European and international projects (> 10 million Euros over the last 5 years) in biomedical data science and medical AI (e.g. EuCanImage, euCanSHare, EarlyCause, LongITools, HealthyCloud, RadioVal, DataTools4Heart, Youth-GEMs, HappyMums, AIMIX, AI4HF, STAGE, YOUTHreach, AIFIX, AIXPERT, DVPS).
