The project is multidisciplinary involving a research team from the fields of prosthetics and computer science. The doctoral candidate will be under the supervision of Professor Nerrolyn Ramstrand, Professor Maria Riveiro and Dr Mohummad Sobuh.

This position is tied to working towards a doctoral degree. The doctoral project will be based on empirical data collected by the doctoral candidate at Jönköping University and at rehabilitation facilities in Sweden. Under supervision, you will carry out data collection using both quantitative and qualitative methods and contribute to development of an AI based decision aid, implemented a user-centered design process.

The doctoral education will be carried out within the framework of the Research School of Health and Welfare at Jönköping University, Sweden.

Throughout the period of study and in addition to your research, you will be expected to participate in seminars and workshops offered by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation.

Furthermore, the position involves:

  • Developing and following an individual study plan while completing 60 credits of doctoral courses.
  • Carrying out research, publishing scientific articles, and writing a thesis, which altogether amount to 180 credits.
  • Communicating and disseminating research results to different target audiences and sectors, such as research, clinical, and industry fields.
  • Publishing research results in well-ranked international journals and presenting at highly recognized international conferences.
  • Participation in the Knowledge Foundation's doctoral student program, which includes attending both in-person and online events.
Requirements

To be eligible for this position, you should have a master's degree in a relevant field such as Prosthetics, Physiotherapy, Biomedical Engineering, Product Development, or Computer Science. Students who will complete a master's degree prior to August 2025 are welcome to apply. Fluency in both written and spoken English is essential, while proficiency in written and spoken Swedish is considered a merit.

The ability to work independently is a key requirement, as is the capacity to collaborate effectively within a research team. A curious, adaptable, and innovative mindset is highly valued, alongside the willingness to give and receive constructive feedback.

In addition to these requirements, the following experiences will be considered strong merits for the position:

  • Prior experience in computer programming
  • Involvement in a research project
  • A background in working with people in a health or social care setting.

Finally, you should be open to traveling to international networking events which provide opportunities to connect with professionals and will help to expand your own, and JU's knowledge within the field.
