The position is linked to the project LINDA-FAMILIA - Implementation of an Integrated Digital Health System for Infectious Diseases in Maternal and Child Health in East Africa, a Horizon Europe/Global Health EDCTP3 project. The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to a work package on clinical research co-led by the University of Oslo and the Uganda National Institute of Public Health. Up to 10% of the position will be devoted to career-promoting work, primarily teaching and supervision in machine learning and artificial intelligence for master students in epidemiology. About the project: LINDA-FAMILIA will do research within digital eRegistries for reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health services in four regions in East Africa: Addis Ababa Region, Ethiopia; Eastern Province, Rwanda; Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania; and Lango sub-Region, Uganda. The eRegistries are deployed to replace paper-based health information systems and support clinical care, disease surveillance and research through harmonized longitudinal individual-level data across the four countries. The systems include clinical decision support, referral coordination, targeted client communication, data management and interoperability. The project will demonstrate the scientific value of these routinely collected real-world eRegistry data for multi-country clinical and epidemiological research on poverty-related infectious diseases in maternal, perinatal, neonatal and child health. More about the position The postdoctoral fellow will work at the interface of epidemiology, causal inference, prediction modelling, responsible AI, digital health and global maternal and child health. The work will include development and application of machine learning and AI methods to large-scale, longitudinal, routinely collected eRegistry data. The successful candidate will collaborate with researchers, PhD candidates, postdoctoral fellows, public health institutions and Ministries of Health in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, as well as partners in Europe. Some international travel for project meetings, workshops and collaboration with country teams should be expected. A career plan shall be developed for the Postdoctoral Fellow, specifying the competencies the Postdoctoral Fellow should acquire. UiO is responsible for following up on the career plan and ensuring that the Postdoctoral Fellow has access to career guidance throughout the postdoctoral term. Up to 10% of the position will be devoted to career-promoting work, primarily teaching and supervision in machine learning and artificial intelligence for master students in epidemiology. The duration of appointment is 3 years. Your areas of responsibility will be The successful candidate will: Develop and apply machine learning and AI methods for epidemiological research using longitudinal eRegistry data. Contribute to comparative epidemiological studies across countries and data systems. Apply causal inference and targeted learning methods, including TMLE and Super Learner approaches where relevant. Contribute to the development and validation of risk prediction models for severe maternal, perinatal, neonatal and child outcomes related to poverty-related infectious diseases. Contribute to geospatial epidemiology analyses using GIS-linked eRegistry data. Develop reproducible R-based analysis pipelines, including support for DataSHIELD or other privacy-preserving/distributed analyses. Contribute to data harmonization, data quality assessment, missing data strategies, data anonymization and data sharing procedures. Contribute to protocols, statistical analysis plans and reporting for the registry-based cluster randomized trial of SMS and automated voice messaging reminders. Collaborate with and support researchers in the partner countries, including training and capacity-building activities. Publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present findings at international conferences and project meetings. Contribute to teaching and supervision in machine learning and AI for master students. ## Related Videos - [AI for decision-making in Tech Recruiting](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1074-ai-for-decision-making-in-tech-recruiting) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Smart City, Smart Mobility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/954-smart-city-smart-mobility) - [Data Science, ML & AI in the Oil and Gas Industry at NDT Global - Dr. Katja Träumner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1308-data-science-ml-ai-in-the-oil-and-gas-industry-at-ndt-global-dr-katja-traumner) - [The Data Mesh as the end of the Datalake as we know it](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/156-the-data-mesh-as-the-end-of-the-datalake-as-we-know-it) - [Building Accountability in Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100046-building-accountability-in-agentic-ai) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Starter Kit For Job Applications For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/7-starter-kit-for-job-applications-for-developers) - [Average Salary in Norway](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/360-average-salary-in-norway) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer)
