    AstraZeneca Oncology R&D , collaborating with Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark are seeking a talented postdoctoral data scientist to develop risk assessment methodology to guide personalized treatment decision-making for blood cancer patients. This role will be based in Gothenburg Sweden.

    The successful candidate will collaborate with the Copenhagen University Hospital, Professor Niemann laboratory to leverage advanced analytical techniques including machine, deep learning and graph theory utilizing Danish National CLL registry and internal AstraZeneca data.

    At AstraZeneca , we are united by a common purpose: to push the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines. Every single day, we make a difference by delivering potentially life-changing medicines to millions of people worldwide. A significant investment in state-of-the-art data science and AI is at the forefront of our drive to make hearts healthier, help people breathe easier, and ensure more people survive cancer.

    About the Opportunity:
    Moderate to severe adverse events may lead to treatment changes which may lower the quality of life and increase the economic burden related to their management. Accurate, individualized, predictive algorithms that can identify patients that will develop serious adverse events on treatment can be used to inform patient management strategies and lead to better patient outcomes.
