The Centre for Medical Informatics at the Usher Institute within The University of Edinburgh is looking for two Research Assistants to work with an interdisciplinary team of researchers on the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) for healthcare practitioners, practices and organisations.
The Opportunity:
Applications are invited for a Research Assistant to work on an exciting research project examining the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) for healthcare. The project focuses on the real-world effects of AI on clinicians (e.g., tasks, roles, skills, expertise), practices (e.g., diagnostic workflows, care delivery pathways) and the healthcare system.
The position offers an opportunity to work closely with Dr Luciana D’Adderio (the project’s Principal Investigator) and her extended multidisciplinary team including experts in the Social Sciences (Business/Management, Organisation Science/Studies, Information Systems, Healthcare Innovation), Artificial Intelligence and Medicine.
The Researcher will be based at the University of Edinburgh’s Usher Institute, a leading academic innovation hub combining a strong interdisciplinary research culture, an unrivalled focus on AI and data-driven innovation for medicine and healthcare, and an emphasis on state-of-the-art research and real-world impacts.
The University of Edinburgh is an exciting, positive, creative, challenging and rewarding place to work. You will benefit from a competitive reward package and a wide range of staff benefits, which includes a generous holiday entitlement and a defined benefits pension scheme.
Informal enquiries may be directed to Dr Luciana D’Adderio, Chancellor’s Fellow in Data Driven Innovation and Turing Fellow (l.d-adderio@ed.ac.uk)
