Job description

Are you interested in theorizing and influencing the evolution of large and complex information systems in healthcare, through empirical analysis and design interventions? The research focus of the Information Systems (IS) group is on the design and governance of large-scale, complex and integrated (health) information systems, globally. The groups' members conduct empirical studies both within the Norwegian healthcare sector (e.g., the FIGI project and the Center for Connected Care) as well as in developing countries through the Health Information Systems Program (HISP) and the DHIS 2 software.

The Postdoc will conduct research within the context of the IS group. The core research team within the IS group, has more than 20 years of experience theorizing organizational, infrastructural and socio-technical aspects with large and complex health information systems. The Postdoc project will extend the transdisciplinary research tradition of the IS group by studying health information systems innovation, design and governance, for instance as in the context of the 'mobile data revolution' in the 'Global South', or the ongoing redesign of e-health architectures in Norway.

Qualifications

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for this fellowship will be selected in accordance with this strategy, and are expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.

The candidate should have experience in doing empirical fieldwork based on qualitative methods. The candidate must hold a PhD or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in Information Systems.

Candidates who can demonstrate their academic excellence and ambitions in terms of prior publications, especially in relation to theorizing large and complex information systems in health care, will be given priority. The University of Oslo (and Norway more generally) is a multi-lingual environment, where knowledge of Norwegian is not a necessity in everyday life. However, an excellent command of English is required.
