Work Context

This position is part of the FAIRClinical project funded by CHIST-ERA, in which the objective is to enhance the FAIR-ness of all supplementary data files and significantly improve the reuse of unstructured clinical case report forms (CRFs). Supplementary data are commonly attached to a scientific publication, either directly in biomedical libraries such as PubMed Central, or via generalist deposition platforms such as Zenodo. CRFs collect the patient data in clinical research studies and trials, and represent an information-rich subset of clinical research literature and unstructured clinical study supplementary data. This project proposes to specifically enrich the contents—and therefore the interoperability, findability and reusability—of all supplementary data by delivering more normalized contents.

The position is located in a sector under the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that your arrival is authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.
