About this position

This postdoctoral appointment at Politecnico di Milano is hosted by the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering “Giulio Natta” and linked to the Politecnico di Milano – Lecco campus. The project sits in the field of logic and philosophy of science and is embedded in a broader interdisciplinary environment that connects philosophy, biomedical engineering, computational modelling, data science and clinical nephrology.

The research topic is the ethical and epistemological analysis of clinical decision-support systems for dialysis care. The selected researcher will study how scientific and clinical knowledge is developed, interpreted and used within digital and algorithmic tools in healthcare, with particular attention to the implications for accountability, transparency and patient information in contexts such as chronic illness, frailty and end-of-life care.

The role is closely tied to the Target-D and OnTheDOT funded projects, and it is designed to contribute both to research and to the wider academic mission of the group. The postdoc will work as part of a team of researchers and engineers, and the description explicitly emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration across philosophy of medicine, technology ethics and clinical application areas.

The appointment is a 12-month postdoctoral contract with expectations of sustained research output and contribution to the project environment. The advert states that the successful candidate is expected to produce at least two scientific publications per year and help draft a proposal for competitive funding schemes.

English is the required language for the position, and the post is situated in an active research setting that bridges humanities-oriented analysis with biomedical and computational research on dialysis decision support.

Funding details

Overall gross remuneration of Euro 28500 for 12 months, paid in equal monthly instalments.
