I'm Farnam Mohebi, an MD-MPH graduate, a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business (management-macro), and a researcher in Radiation Oncology at UCSF, on the job market for 2026–2027.

Drawing on organizational theory, medical sociology, and STS, I study professionals through technology—what technology reveals about expertise, status, identity, and expert decision-making. 

Current projects include ethnographic work on the adoption of auto-contouring in radiation oncology, physician influencers and digital trust, and the ways auto-triage of patient messages shapes nurses' understanding of them. 

I've also completed three projects: on how medical information infrastructure shapes the patient "data double," how systems built for physicians fill authority gaps for non-physician staff, and how anticipations of technology reveal what professionals aim to achieve in their work.

With an MD-MPH background and training in organizational theory, I've moved from quantitative work to primarily qualitative, ethnographic methods—though I still draw on my quantitative training to test both the hypotheses and the consequences that emerge from my qualitative work.
