Junior Research Scientist Trustworthy Digital Health

at  Cognitive Systems

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (www.fraunhofer.com) currently operates 76 institutes and research units throughout Germany and is a leading applied research organization. Around 32 000 employees work with an annual research budget of 3.4 billion euros.
Safe Intelligence - this forms the core brand of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS. Connected cognitive systems drive innovation in many sectors, including mobility, healthcare, and automation in industry. Disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing play a key role here. Fraunhofer IKS is conducting research to ensure that these applications are reliable and verifiably safe. We consider resilience and intelligence to be part of the same process.

Digitalization in the healthcare sector increases in importance and may allow more efficient processes, e.g., helping to mitigate personal shortage. On the medical side, digital health may lead to advance better diagnostics, treatments and prognostics options.
At Fraunhofer IKS we research to advance algorithms for data-efficient and explainable medical imaging (https://safe-intelligence.fraunhofer.de/en/articles/concept-based-models-how-visual-concepts-help-to-understand-an-ais-decision and https://safe-intelligence.fraunhofer.de/en/articles/quantum-computing-advancing-medical-diagnostics-with-quantum-powered-ai), to optimize processes in the healthcare domain via clever AI algorithms (https://safe-intelligence.fraunhofer.de/en/articles/healthcare-hackathon-2023-ai-and-hospital-workforce-planning), to assist in medical decisions, and in verifying and validating AI algorithms.
Support us in this research as junior research scientist, actively shaping the research program. Collaborate with world-leading scientists, as well as with renown industry partners. Your results will come alive in products of leading companies, and thereby you will achieve an active contribution to a safe future.
