Postdoctoral Fellowship in Human-AI and Human-Robot Teaming in Healthcare Systems

West China Hospital is offering a postdoctoral fellowship focused on Human-AI and Human-Robot Teaming in Healthcare Systems. This opportunity is ideal for researchers interested in the intersection of medical AI, robotics, and human factors. The research group, led by Professor James (Kang) Li from Rutgers University, is seeking a visionary postdoctoral researcher to design and evaluate collaborative decision-making frameworks for clinical settings such as radiology, surgery, or rehabilitation. Key research areas include Human-AI collaboration, Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), modeling human trust and cognitive load, and conducting human-in-the-loop experiments with complex multimodal data. The successful candidate will work closely with clinicians, engineers, and data scientists, leveraging access to large-scale clinical datasets and real-world hospital environments. The position is highly interdisciplinary and well-funded, with a strong emphasis on publishing in top-tier journals and conferences and translating research into clinical practice. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering (Human Factors/Ergonomics), Computer Science, Robotics, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field, with a strong publication record and experience in human-subject studies and both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The application process is ongoing, and interested candidates should send a detailed CV and representative publications to [email protected] with the specified subject line. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the advancement of AI and robotics in healthcare, working in a collaborative and innovative environment.
