About the job
The Department of Oncology at Odense University Hospital (OUH) and the Department of Clinical Research at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) offer a 3-year PhD scholarship as a data scientist in the recently funded Danish Head and Neck cancer group FORWARD project. The FORWARD project aims to harvest data from radiotherapy-treated head and neck cancer patients across Denmark through the national radiotherapy data infrastructure. Through AI and machine learning, you will use the data to build prediction models for survival changes and risk of side effects.

You will be working with topics like:

  • Data harvesting methods
  • Development and use of AI in research
  • Federated learning methods
  • Machine learning tools to build prediction models
  • Your next great idea!

Furthermore, you will be a part of a small national team of 5-10 data scientists and developers working on the Danish national infrastructure for radiotherapy, DESIRE group. Social activities and the flexibility to design a working day that matches our personal preferences are essential to an enjoyable work-life in both groups. We enjoy a flat organizational hierarchy and the right to make mistakes and learn from them. Ultimately, we are all just nerds who want to make a difference.
