The positions are funded by an NGF AiNed Fellowship Grant for the
“CaRe-NLP: Human-Centric and Responsible NLP methods for Dutch healthcare”
project. The overall goal of the project is to develop human-centric and
responsible NLP and ML methods for healthcare in the Netherlands, Europe,
and worldwide. We will design, build, and evaluate state-of-the-art large
language models (LLMs) for healthcare data that include (combinations of)
free-text clinical notes collected in primary/secondary/intensive care
settings, medical images, time series measurements, medical knowledge
graphs, and multi-modal electronic heath records (EHRs). Our methods’ goals
are to ensure privacy and fairness, prevent bias, cope with data scarcity,
and be interpretable and explainable. We collaborate with a network of
clinicians across multiple specialties, and you will tackle relevant
clinical problems with real-world impact.

The project team is led by dr. Iacer Calixto and prof. Ameen Abu-Hanna, and
we are housed at the Amsterdam UMC location University of Amsterdam in the
beautiful city of Amsterdam.
