About the jobThe field of nursing science recruits for a professor whose competence lies at the intersection of nursing practice, clinical care, digital transformation, and value creation across health service systems.

This expertise is applied to nursing practice and care processes, including digital care pathways, predictive and preventive models, and data‑informed clinical decision‑making.
