[AISWorld] PhD Research Fellowship in Information Systems available at the University of Oslo

[Petter Nielsen]

Position as PhD Research Fellowship in Information Systems available at the Department of Informatics.
The fellowship period is up to 4 years, with 3 years devoted to research education. The position entails a compulsory work load of 25% that consists of teaching and supervision duties and research assistance.

:: Deadline for applications: 31.12.2018

The PhD project is expected to further strengthen the Health Information Systems Programme (HISP) group's expertise in the area of global public goods (GPG) digital innovation platforms for development. While the candidate and the supervisors will decide on the ultimate focus of the PhD project jointly, relevant examples of application areas would likely include District Health Information System (DHIS2) applications in one or several East Asian and African countries.

The HISP Group at UiO conducts research on a range of DHIS2 topics like governance, scaling, interoperability and more. While the research profile of the group is social science oriented (including aspects of identity, social capital and more), the HISP projects combine the design and implementation aspects of a digital innovation platform with global coverage implying considerations of platform governance, architecture, regulation and social responsibility.
