Your task is to lead research on computational data analysis and to devise new computational methods and build expertise that benefit the research and services for the needs of the future work life. You will advance the exploitation of the heterogenous data sets that have been and are being collected at the institute, including data sets related to physiology, health, cognition, work environment, and spanning measurements from laboratories to work places.

You will apply for funding, lead research projects as well as supervise students and other more junior staff members. You may participate to education and teaching within area of your expertise.
