Odense M

The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), in Odense invites applications for a fully-funded position as PhD fellow in Health informatics and technology. The position is available starting 1. January 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter. The application deadline is 30. November 2020.

SDU Health Informatics and Technology (HIT) strive to develop novel and ready to deploy technical solutions in a transdisciplinary manner. SDU HIT has a large portfolio of transdisciplinary projects involving numerous partners from healthcare, academia, industry and network organizations.

Project description
This project will explore methods for sensor and information fusion that allow to setup and tailor specialized medical systems dedicated to specific medical needs. For any kind of sensor network, sensor fusion plays an important role. Sensor fusion can be applied to enhance the quality of a signal, to separate different signal sources from one another, or to reveal new diagnostic information.

The candidate will work on unobtrusive techniques to acquire hemodynamic information from a patient. This will include the design, building and testing of sensor devices as well as modelling and simulation of physiologic mechanisms in relation to hemodynamic signal modulation.

What we offer
The PhD fellow will be part of a trans-disciplinary team dedicated to developing health technology that improves the treatment, safety and/or comfort of patients and citizens

We offer a challenging and innovative position, in an international, stimulating and highly interdisciplinary environment that forge new research by crossing the traditionally separate domains of engineering-, health- and humanistic research, for the benefit of the users and society as a whole.

The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute is an internationally recognized research department with strong research units in robotics, drones, artificial intelligence, software engineering, energy informatics, and health informatics and technology.
