Introduction:
The mission of the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) is medical translation: transferring biomedical research findings into novel approaches to personalized prediction, prevention, diagnostics and therapies and, conversely, using clinical observations to develop new research ideas. The aim is to deliver relevant medical benefits to patients and the population at large. The BIH was founded in 2013 and is funded 90 percent by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and 10 percent by the State of Berlin. Since 2021 the BIH has been integrated into Charité as its so-called third pillar.

Research Fellow for a project on “Responsible Algorithms” (f/m/d)
(19,50 h / week)
The QUEST Center is looking for a research fellow for the project STRATIF-AI ("Continuous stratification for improved prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of stroke patients using digital twins"). The project aims to improve the prevention and treatment of stroke using artificial intelligence, hybrid modelling and digital twin technology. The position will be based at the QUEST Center for Responsible Research at the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) at Charité in the "Respon-sible Algorithms" group (Dr. Vince Madai). The "Responsible Algorithms" group is responsible for the work package on ethical design in STRATIF-AI. The overall goal of the QUEST Center is to optimise biomedical research in terms of scientific methodology, bioethics and research accessibility.
