About this position

This postdoctoral project examines how generative artificial intelligence and autonomous systems are reshaping professional knowledge in the medical profession. The research is centered on the ways AI is changing physicians’ expert judgment, discretion, accountability, autonomy, and professional legitimacy, with a particular focus on how medical knowledge is increasingly encoded, stored, and processed by algorithmic systems.

The project asks how AI affects doctors’ work processes in both routine tasks and complex, knowledge-intensive clinical reasoning, how discretionary space changes when assessments are made in interaction with algorithmically generated knowledge, and how the balance between generalist and specialist competence may evolve. It also addresses which human skills may be replaced, which new skills need to be developed, and how intensified AI use may influence the doctor-patient relationship, including transparency and trust.

The position is based at the Department of Social Studies at Linnaeus University in Växjö and is linked to the interdisciplinary Forum for Professions Research. The project is also part of WASP-HS, a national research programme on the consequences of AI and autonomous systems for humans and society. The research is conducted with a steering group of academic supervisors and practicing physicians, supported by a reference group that follows the project and contributes to a broader discussion about AI and professional knowledge in medicine.

The work is primarily research-focused, with the possibility of limited teaching and supervision. The research environment at the department includes sociology and broader interdisciplinary expertise, including qualitative methods, ethnography, quantitative approaches, and computational social science, offering a strong setting for a project situated at the intersection of sociology, professions, and AI in healthcare.

What's required

Applicants must have a doctoral degree or an equivalent foreign degree, awarded no more than three years before the application deadline, unless special reasons apply such as statutory leave. The degree must be completed by the time the appointment decision is made. Applicants must not previously have been employed as a postdoctoral researcher for more than one year in the same or a closely related subject area at Linnaeus University. Very good spoken and written Swedish and English are required because data collection and collaboration take place in Swedish healthcare while reporting is mainly in English. Documented experience of independent data collection and empirical analysis is meritorious, as are the ability to independently plan, conduct, analyse and report research, scientific writing evidenced by peer-reviewed publications, good collaboration skills, and an ability to work in a structured way with multiple actors and parallel tasks.
