side, we aim at publishing papers in medical informatics fields, developing
open-source software for this community. From practice side, we aim at

can be well organized and easy to retrieve.

Our group is composed of more than 10 members most of whom are PhD

research and practice have been done in the past 10 years.

Due to more funding and more projects coming, we now have more postdoc
research fellows and more long time intern positions.  The background

or couchDB are good pluses.

The starting date can be flexible, from now or beginning of next year

one or two years' contracts will be signed. Based on the performance,
longer appointment can be offered and promotions will be considered.
