Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care / Digital Society initiative_
**PhD position in Digital Health**
**80 % (full-time doctorate) **:The Digital & Mobile Health Group is an interdisciplinary research team at the Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care, with close ties to the Digital Society Initiative of the University of Zurich. We are developing methods for next-generation research studies by collecting and analyzing multimodal sensor-, smartphone-, and patient-reported health data for chronic disease research (e.g. Multiple Sclerosis) and public health. We work closely with our stakeholders (e.g. citizens, persons with chronic diseases, and healthcare professionals) to create meaningful evidence for healthcare and prevention. Our group utilizes a broad mix of analysis methods including statistical modeling, machine learning, data analysis, passive sensing with wearable devices and natural language processing.

**Your responsibilities**: This Ph.D. project is highly interdisciplinary, involving you in the full development cycle of innovative digital solutions for chronic patient care. Your responsibilities will span from conceptualization, development, and evaluation to implementation into routine patient care.

To start, you will work in close collaboration with our team members and our project partners, including the Neurozentrum Bellevue (Bellevue Medical Group) and Klinik Lengg, to support the data collection of our ongoing study in Multiple Sclerosis and long COVID patients. You will analyze fitness tracker and patient-reported data to derive novel digital biomarkers for objective fatigue quantification and disease severity.

**Your profile**: For this project, we search for a highly motivated person with a Master's Degree (e.g., in Epidemiology, Statistics, Biology, Biomedicine, Medicine, Computer Science, or Psychology) with good knowledge of Python and at least basic knowledge of statistical programming and data wrangling in R, a good command of English and German, good communication skills, and the willingness to actively interact with our stakeholders, including healthcare providers, healthcare professionals, patients, and UX/UI experts.

**What we offer**: You will become part of an innovative study group at the intersection of Digital Health and Citizen Science. As a member of our highly interdisciplinary team, you will receive the opportunity to pursue your research independently but with the support of specialists in Data Science, Neurology, UX/UI, Biostatistics, Public Health, or Psychology.
- Our offices are located near the UZH Main Campus / University Hospital.
- A fully-funded 4-year research-focused position.
