About this position

Postdoctoral Researcher in Health-Data Harmonization and Analysis at the University of Luxembourg, within the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) and the Clinical and Translational Informatics group led by Dr. Venkata Satagopam. The role sits in a multidisciplinary environment with data scientists, software engineers, biomedical researchers, and clinicians.

The project focuses on health data interoperability, federated data analysis, and building an AI-ready, FAIR, privacy-preserving research infrastructure for clinical and biomedical data. Core technical themes include OMOP CDM, HL7 FHIR, DICOM, GA4GH standards, HealthDCAT-AP, and TEHDAS 2 data-description guidelines, with applications in translational medicine and secure data processing.

The successful candidate will contribute to data catalogue infrastructure, dataset discoverability, validation and integration workflows, documentation, reproducibility, publications, and international EU-funded collaborations. The research environment is strongly interdisciplinary and linked to large-scale initiatives in digital health and biomedical informatics.

Eligibility highlights: PhD in computer science, medical informatics, computational biology, bioinformatics, or a related field; experience with OMOP CDM and HL7 FHIR; familiarity with Semantic Web and metadata standards; Python and machine-learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face; strong communication across technical and clinical teams; English C1 required.

Funding: fixed-term full-time postdoctoral contract for 36 months. Gross yearly salary is EUR 87,306.
