The posting
The Department of Clinical Medicine at the Faculty of Health, Aarhus University, invites applications for a position as AI Developer for validation and clinical implementation of AI systems, commencing on 1 January 2027, preferably before then, if possible. The position is a fixed-term full-time appointment until 31 December 2028 which aligns with the end date of the project related to the grant agreement.
AURA is the radiology research unit at Aarhus University Hospital and is affiliated with the Department of Clinical Medicine at Aarhus University. We conduct research across a broad range of radiological topics and work closely with clinical departments on projects spanning classical statistical methods, artificial intelligence, language models, and advanced image analysis.
In recent years, we have expanded our activities within AI and are therefore seeking additional expertise for both existing and new projects. As an AI Developer in AURA, you will play a central role in validating, implementing, and further developing AI solutions for use in healthcare. You will become part of an ambitious research environment with close collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and technical specialists, and you will have the opportunity to influence both projects and your own role.
As an AI Developer at the Department of Clinical Medicine, you will become part of what is likely the largest health sciences research institute in Denmark. Clinical research covers all medical specialties and is carried out in close collaboration with the university hospital and regional hospitals in the Central Denmark Region. We have approximately 30,000 square metres of modern research facilities for experimental surgery and medicine, animal facilities, and advanced scanners. The department has overall responsibility for the Master’s degree programmes in Medicine and Molecular Medicine. The department comprises approximately 670 academic staff members, 500 PhD students, and 160 technical and administrative staff, all working collaboratively across disciplines. As an AI Developer, you will be based at Aarhus University Hospital in the Central Denmark Region. You can read more about the department here and about the faculty here.

In your daily work, you will collaborate closely with researchers, clinicians, students, and external partners.
Your tasks will primarily include:
- Validation and implementation of AI systems for clinical use.
- Development, testing, and evaluation of new AI solutions.
- Software development and data analysis related to research and development projects.
