[Announcements] PhD Scholarship in Data Science Pipeline for Digital Phenotyping – Technical University of Denmark

[Jakob Eyvind Bardram]

Technical University of Denmark (http://www.dtu.dk/) has an opening for a fully funded PhD scholarship within data science technology for digital phenotyping.	

Your research will focus on establishing an end-to-end pipeline for data science in digital phenotyping, focusing on mobile and wearable sensing data. This pipeline will consist of three main parts: (i) collection of physiological and contextual data from patients, (ii) ground-truth annotation from clinicians, and (iii) a self-optimizing and extensible data science analysis engine containing models for the prediction of health events. The primary focus is on the pipeline's overall software architecture and distributed system design, secondary on the user experience (UX) design of the data collection sub-systems, and tertiary on the design of data science methods.

This position requires software engineering, mobile sensing, UX design, and health data science skills, including software development, mobile programming, sensor integration, distributed computing, and data processing using modern AI- and ML-based tools. In other words, a classic ubicomp profile. Furthermore, a structured approach to research and strong communication skills in English in written and oral dissemination is core. Finally, since you will be spending time with a clinical team at the hospital, good collaborative skills and an understanding of clinical work is also essential.

From an academic point of view, you must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree in addition to a bachelor’s degree (180 ECTS points).
