Two Postdoc Fellowship in Machine Learning for Mental Health Care Technology (2 years each) in Department of Informatics, University of Oslo, Norway

The goal of the Postdoc projects is to develop a patient monitoring and support system using smartphone technology and built-in sensors as well as other on-body sensors that are relevant for capturing and classifying human behavior. This is with the goal of providing the user with the right interventions at the right time. It is a part of the Research Council of Norway funded project INtroducing personalized TReatment Of Mental health problems using Adaptive Technology (INTROMAT, see www.intromat.no<http://www.intromat.no/>). The project – led by Haukeland University Hospital, aims at developing technology that can analyse the user's voice, movement and other properties, and use that for modeling and predicting how these changes with the mental condition. Smartphone and wearables are relevant for data collection, and the system should provide the user with appropriate support and follow up schemes.

The fellowships will be for a period of two years. The candidate will collaborate with a number of national partners in the project. The University of Oslo is Norway’s oldest and highest rated institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees.

Qualifications: Applicants must have a PhD or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in computer science including machine learning/artificial intelligence (other degrees would be considered if qualifications match). Thus, applicants should have a strong background in programming and machine learning/artificial intelligence. Moreover, knowledge in the fields of human behaviour tracking and analysis, sensor data analysis, biology-inspired techniques, behavior modeling, and app development would be an advantage. A number of partners are involved in the project so collaboration skills would also be assessed.

Pay grade (depending on qualifications and seniority):
Postdoc: NOK 515 2000 – 597 400 per year, approx.: €52,500 − 61,000 / $59,200 − 68,700
