Job description

Organisation / Company University of Granada Department Software Engeneiring Laboratory NA Is the Hosting related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoMSCA-PF: Joint application at the University of Granada. Department ofSoftware Engeneiring.Professor Carlos Molina Fernández, from theDepartment ofSoftware Engeneiringat theUniversity of Granada, welcomes postdoctoral candidatesinterested inapplying for a Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF)in **** at this University. Please note that applicants must comply with the Mobility Rule (for more information about the **** call, please consult this link ) .Brief description of the institution:The UGR has been awarded with the "Human Resources Excellence in Research (HRS4R)", which reflectsthe institution's commitment to continuously improve its human resource policies in line with the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers. The UGR is also internationally renowned for its excellence in diverse research fields and ranked among the top Spanish universities in a variety of ranking criteria, such as national R&D projects, fellowships awarded, publications, and international funding. The UGR is one of the few Spanish Universities listed in theShanghai Top 500 ranking - Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). The **** edition of the ARWU places the UGR in *******th position in the world and as the 3-8 highest ranked University in Spain, reaffirming its position as an institution at the forefront of national and international research. From the perspective of specialist areas in the ARWU rankings , the UGR is outstanding in Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence and Dentistry & Oral Sciences (ranked between 51th-75th position), Computer Science & Engineering, Education and Hospitality & Tourism Management (between *th position), and in the areas of Food Science & Technology and Business Administration (between *******th position). A little lower in the ranking, the UGR also stands out in the areas of Earth Sciences, Law, Management, Nursing, Psychology and Statistics, in which the UGR is positioned in the *******th position.Internationally, the University of Granada is firmly committed to its participation in the calls of the Framework Programme of the European Union. For the duration of the prevoius Framework Programme,Horizon ****, the UGR obtained a total of124 projectswith a total funding of more than€30 million. For the current Framework Programme,Horizon Europe, the UGR has obtained136 projects, so far, with a total funding of more than€38 million.Brief description of the Centre/Research Group:TheIntelligent Databases and Information Systems (IdBIS)research group at the University of Granada, established in ****, is a multidisciplinary team dedicated to integrating Artificial Intelligence within Information Systems. The group specializes in developing advanced systems for intelligent data management and effective human-machine communication. IdBIS possesses extensive expertise inSoft Computingtechniques, particularly Fuzzy Sets Theory and Level-based Representation Theory, to address uncertainty and Natural Language Processing (NLP).Their research excellence encompasses advanced database modeling-handling vagueness in relational, deductive, and multidimensional systems-and sophisticated data analysis, including Data Mining, Big Data, and Text Mining. Key research lines involve sentiment analysis, clustering, and linguistic data description (data2text). The group's theoretical advancements have led to high-impact practical applications in critical sectors such asmedical and health databases, building engineering, energy efficiency management, and security.As a host for MSCA fellows, IdBIS offers a robust research environment with a strong track record of international collaboration and technology transfer. The group provides access to specialized infrastructure and a collaborative network of senior researchers, making it an ideal setting for postdoctoral training at the intersection of trustworthy AI and practical information systems.Title:Developing Reliable LLM-based AI Interfaces via Uncertainty Logic for Clinical Decision Support (R-LLM4HEALTH)Description:This research project addresses the critical challenge of ensuring reliability, safety, and transparency in Large Language Model (LLM) interfaces for Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS). While generative AI offers transformative potential for reasoning over complex clinical datasets, its deployment in safety-critical medical environments is currently hindered by "hallucinations," inherent cognitive biases, and lack of expert-level validation. The primary objective of R-LLM4HEALTH is to bridge the gap between raw AI capabilities and the rigorous safety requirements of the healthcare sector. The research line focuses on engineering a robust Uncertainty Logic solution to quantify model confidence and mitigate erroneous outputs in real-time. The postdoctoral fellow will work on:Developing privacy-preserving LLM architecturestailored for clinical data mining.Designing Uncertainty Logic frameworksto detect, flag, and mitigate hallucinations during the interpretation of Electronic Health Records (EHR).Validating technical guardrailsthrough expert-led benchmarks to ensure alignment with clinical safety protocols.By integrating advanced reasoning mechanisms and rigorous software engineering principles, the project seeks to transform LLMs into trustworthy assistants for healthcare professionals. Hosted at the University of Granada's Software Engineering department, the fellow will benefit from an interdisciplinary environment and a project with high societal impact aligned with the European Health Data Space goals and the AI Act's requirements for high-risk AI systems.Research Area:Information Science and Engineering (ENG)#J--Ljbffr
