Medical Informatics Specialist (gn*) Fixed-term project position until February 29, 2028 | Full-time (38.5 hours per week) | Compensation according to TV-L E13 | Institute for Medical Informatics | Reference Number 11957 We are the UKM. We have a clear social mission and, through the integration of patient care, research, and teaching, a special responsibility. To meet our high standards every day, we look forward to your scientific expertise—ideally with you on board. At our Medical Data Integration Center (MeDIC), we work on innovative projects within the framework of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) and the University Medicine Network (NUM). We develop nationwide interoperable data infrastructures to make routine data from hospitals usable for research and personalized medicine. At the same time, NUM coordinates clinical research across Germany and strengthens the responsiveness of university medicine during health crises—a unique opportunity to contribute to pioneering medical informatics. PROJECTS AT A GLANCE: The newly funded NUM ENRICH (Extending NUM Research Infrastructures through Collaboration and Harmonization) project connects existing NUM research infrastructures into a unified data space and expands the NUM data space to include new data types, such as mHealth data from sensors and wearables, which are to be integrated into the infrastructures based on interoperable standards. At MeDIC Münster, which is located within the Institute for Medical Informatics, a prototype cross-platform app is being developed for this purpose, designed to enable the standards-compliant transfer of wearable data into the NUM structures. In addition, the EyeMatics project (Eye Diseases Treated with Interoperable Medical Informatics) is funded as part of the Medical Informatics Initiative and is being implemented in collaboration with the Department of Ophthalmology at the University Hospital Münster. The goal is to harmonize real-world treatment data from six university hospitals and make it usable for research and patient care. The focus is on common eye diseases and IVOM therapy (intravitreal operative drug administration). New biomarkers are identified through cross-site data integration, patient-reported outcomes, and the use of statistical and AI methods. A clinical dashboard visualizes the results in real time and lays the foundation for more precise guidelines in ophthalmology.
