Full Stack Developer / Research Software Engineer (f/m/x)
The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Digital Health and Prevention (LBI-DHP; https://dhp.lbg.ac.at/) researches novel technology-assisted interventions for supporting sustainable health behavior change.
In close collaboration with our partners at the Paris Lodron University Salzburg (PLUS; Faculty of Digital and Analytical Sciences and Centre for Human-Computer Interaction), the University of Applied Sciences (FH Salzburg), Salzburg Research, the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), the Paracelsus Medical University (PMU) and the University Hospital of Salzburg (SALK), the LBI-DHP follows an impact-oriented research agenda. That aim is pursued by bringing together interdisciplinary expertise and approaches both within the institute, as well as through the wider partner network and stakeholder groups. Novel digital health systems and interventions are developed and evaluated at levels ranging from exploratory prototypes to scalable publicly available platforms and clinical studies (see e.g. https://dhp.lbg.ac.at/more/ and https://dhp.lbg.ac.at/aktivplan/).
