Bli kjent med Haukeland universitetssjukehus

Haukeland University Hospital employs about 12000 people and almost 600000 patients are treated annually. Research is a core activity. To boost interdisciplinary research activities in multimodal human imaging and visualization, the Mohn Medical Imaging and Visualization Centre (MMIV, https://www.mmiv.no ) was established in 2017 through strategic funding from the Trond Mohn Foundation, the Haukeland University Hospital and the University of Bergen.

MMIV currently nourishes four carefully selected, peer-reviewed research projects initiated at the university hospital and three faculties (Medicine, Natural Sciences, and Psychology) at the University of Bergen. A major step forward for the Centre was the recent successful hiring processes of several new PhD and Postdocs to the Centre, and the co-localization of all Centre research activities in novel office spaces on the premises of Helse Bergen HF. MMIV has matured from an initial startup phase to a running phase - and the directorship of the Centre is being changed. The current announcement is for a new Centre director for MMIV.

Director Mohn Medical Imaging and Visualization Centre

At the Mohn Medical Imaging and Visualization Centre (MMIV, https://www.mmiv.no ), the position as Centre director is available. The position is a permanent, full time (100%) position at the Department of Radiology, Haukeland University Hospital. It may be considered possible to enroll in a part time (20%) scientific position at the University of Bergen. The Centre director reports directly to the Head of department at the Department of Radiology. The Centre director also holds the secretariat for the Centre Board with representatives from the Haukeland University Hospital and the University of Bergen, and to the Centre Scientific Advisory Board that involves four international experts in the field.

The aim of the Centre is to research methods in quantitative imaging and medical visualization across time and scales. Core researchers in machine learning, medical visualization and scientists aiming at developing personalized medicine (selected applications in neuroscience/cancer) are already actively working in the Centre. A prerequisite for the applicant is therefore ongoing experience in interdisciplinary research. A goal of the Centre research is to influence the clinical patient care on a shorter or longer scale. Understanding of the clinical workflows and interest to integrate MMIV core activities with other ongoing research activities in the university hospital is thus beneficial.

The Centre research agenda is at all times defined by the research projects that are running in the Centre. It is expected that the Centre director is an active researcher in the Centre, both in terms of conducting research, to stimulate other project in the Centre and to invite existing projects or define new projects into the Centre.

Successful candidates should have established research activities relevant to the MMIV Centre, including a proven track record of publications and experience from leading a research activity/ group. Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to handle multiple concurrent tasks are important in addition to strong written skills (minimum English).
