Radboud Healthy Data

The digital transformation that began decades ago has reached a stage where we have access to vast amounts of data and tools that impact our lives in unprecedented ways. Radboud University and Radboud University Medical Center want to be the best campus for researchers in data and AI-driven research. This is why we have joined forces with the Radboud Healthy Data program, in which we connect and further develop our expertise in health-related data management and AI toward a sustainable digital infrastructure for the entire Radboud campus. 

Focus areas in our program are FAIR data stewardship, AI methods, education, ethical/legal/societal considerations, data-related community activities and scientific breakthroughs. We build upon our strong history and ongoing activities with partners in our networks. Through Healthy Data, we will strengthen our data-driven infrastructure and our collaborative AI research at the Radboud campus with the ultimate aim to improve health and healthcare in society. 

Therefore, candidates ideally have experience or affinity with working in a (scrum, agile operating) team for a certain period, to co-create sustainable solutions that strengthen our data-driven infrastructure and/or AI applications for health(care).
