About this position

University of Bergen (UiB), Faculty of Medicine, Department of Global Health and Public Health, is advertising a 100% postdoctoral fellowship for three years linked to the project DIGI.PARK (Digital Phenotyping in people with Parkinson's Disease).

The project focuses on Parkinson's disease, digital phenotyping, wearable devices, time-series data, signal processing, digital biomarkers, and the development of new sensitive digital outcome measures. The research combines clinical assessments with continuous sensor-based measurements outside the clinic and uses advanced analyses to study motor symptoms and treatment effects.

The postdoctoral fellow will work in the interdisciplinary research environment of the Center for Geriatric and Nursing Home Medicine (SEFAS), located in the Alrek health cluster in Bergen, and collaborate with Neuro-SysMed. The role includes quantitative analysis of wearable sensor data, statistical analysis of clinical data, development of digital measures, participation in data collection and quality assurance, publication of results, conference presentations, and collaboration within national and international networks.

Eligibility highlights include a completed or nearly completed PhD in medically oriented fields such as biomedical technology, neuroscience, or psychology; strong experience in knowledge-driven method development, explainable algorithms, multilevel and heterogeneous data analysis, sensor technology, and Matlab; and fluent Norwegian and English. Experience with older adults living at home and Parkinson's disease research is an advantage.

The position is funded by the Norwegian Directorate of Health. Salary is listed at NOK 690,000, with higher rates for applicants with medical/dental professional degrees or specialist training.

Application deadline: 20 August 2026. Apply via Jobbnorge and include research motivation, transcripts and diplomas, thesis documentation, certificates, publication list, full scientific works, and two references.
