We seek a Postdoctoral Research Associate to undertake research for the CHI Lab, led by David Clifton, Professor of Clinical Machine Learning. The postholder will be based in the Oxford lab (Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Old Road Campus Research Building, Headington), while collaborating with the Wellcome Trust “Flagship Centre” within the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit (OUCRU) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - this houses over 300 researchers specializing in infectious disease and global healthcare, in one of Vietnam’s largest hospitals and the hub for a network of Oxford clinical sites across South-East Asia. The post would involve visiting OUCRU several times per year.
