The University of Manchester (UK) is seeking to appoint a talented, enthusiastic and self-motivated Post-doctoral Research Associate in Applied Medical Statistics, to join the Digital Health Research Theme within the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration for Greater Manchester (ARC-GM). ​​​​​​​

The NIHR ARC-GM aims to implement and evaluate a range of digital interventions in health and social care for disease prevention, self-management, and integrated and personalised care, and healthy ageing. The overall purpose of the position is to assist in these activities through statistical analysis of health data. In all activities, strong synergy will be sought with the other NIHR GM ARC themes.

All evaluations will have both qualitative and quantitative components, with qualitative and quantitative researchers working closely together. As the post holder, you will lead the quantitative aspects of the research. You will use methods from statistics, epidemiology, and machine learning, applying them to real-world health data to understand how interventions are implemented in practice and which factors affect their adoption, use, safety, and effectiveness. Data sources will be electronic health records (and other routinely collected healthcare data) and personal health datasets collected through smartphones and wearable devices.

You will need excellent skills and experience in analysing health data, using statistical modelling and programming techniques. You will also need to have a track record of productivity evidenced through peer reviewed journal publications.

PAPERS SUBMISSION: March 23 (Anywhere on Earth)
All papers must be submitted using EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lod2022

PAPER FORMAT:
Please prepare your paper in English using the Springer Nature – Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) template, which is available here. Papers must be submitted in PDF.

TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS:
When submitting a paper to LOD 2022, authors are required to select one of the following four types of papers:

* long paper: original novel and unpublished work (max. 15 pages in Springer LNCS format);

* short paper: an extended abstract of novel work (max. 5 pages);

* work for oral presentation only (no page restriction; any format). For example, work already published elsewhere, which is relevant, and which may solicit fruitful discussion at the conference;

* abstract for poster presentation only (max 2 pages; any format). The poster format for the presentation is A0 (118.9 cm high and 84.1 cm wide, respectively 46.8 x 33.1 inch). For research work which is relevant, and which may solicit fruitful discussion at the conference.

Each paper submitted will be rigorously evaluated. The evaluation will ensure the high interest and expertise of reviewers. Following the tradition of LOD, we expect high-quality papers in terms of their scientific contribution, rigor, correctness, novelty, clarity, quality of presentation and reproducibility of experiments.
Accepted papers must contain significant novel results. Results can be either theoretical or empirical. Results will be judged on the degree to which they have been objectively established and/or their potential for scientific and technological impact.

It is also possible to present the talk virtually (Zoom).

TRACKS & SPECIAL SESSIONS:
https://lod2022.icas.cc/special-sessions/

*) Special Session on AI for Sustainability
We welcome  contributions on AI for Sustainable Development, AI for Sustainable Urban Mobility, AI for Food Security, AI to fight Deforestation, cutting-edge technology AI to create Inclusive and Sustainable development that leaves no one behind.

*) Special Session on AI to help to fight Climate Change
AI is a new tool to help us better manage the impacts of climate change and protect the planet. AI can be a “game-changer” for climate change and environmental issues.

AI refers to computer systems that “can sense their environment, think, learn, and act in response to what they sense and their programmed objectives,”

World Economic Forum report, Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for the Earth.

We accept papers/short papers/talks at the intersection of climate change, AI, machine learning and data science. AI, Machine Learning and Data Science  can be invaluable tools both in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and in helping society adapt to the effects of climate change.

We invite submissions  using AI, Machine Learning and/or Data Science to address problems in climate mitigation/adaptation including but not limited to the following topics:

* Industrial Session
Chair: Giovanni Giuffrida – Neodata.

* Special Session on Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Explainability is essential for users to effectively understand, trust, and manage powerful artificial intelligence applications.
