- Create, implement, and evaluate novel methods to advance the science of pharmacovigilance with statistical modelling and machine learning.

- Communicate results with internal and external stakeholders, adapting to the diversity of their backgrounds, as well as disseminate research via scientific publications and participation in research conferences.

- Participate in competence development by staying up to date with advances in machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) research and apply it to our settings.
- Acquire a deep understanding of our unique database of side effects to support research pharmacists and medical doctors in their decision-making or research questions.

About you

- You have an MSc or PhD degree in computer science, engineering, or other quantitative discipline.

- At least three years of professional data science experience.

- Advanced coursework in machine learning and programming, and experience in cloud computing are a plus.

- Interest in Neural Networks and Large Language Models is a plus.
