Your task is to lead research on computational data analysis and to
devise new computational methods and build expertise that benefit the
research and services for the needs of the future work life. You will
advance the exploitation of the heterogenous data sets that have been
and are being collected at the institute, including data sets related
to physiology, health, cognition, work environment, and spanning
measurements from laboratories to work places. You will be responsible
for national and international research collaboration in the topic of
the position. You will apply for funding, lead research projects as
well as supervise students and other more junior staff members. You
may participate to education and teaching within area of your
