Are you an expert scientific programmer with strong interest in managing computational aspects of interdisciplinary research projects involving large data sets? Are you excited by working with state of the art computational methods in an international medical research environment?

In COPECARE, we aim to expand our current data team to include 3-4 data scientists with complementary skills across a range of research fields. We are therefore looking for one or two new colleagues with a background in computational research to take part in managing computational parts of interdisciplinary medical research projects combining clinical, medical imaging, genetic and serological biomarkers and registry data in rheumatology in a clinical research environment. The major projects for the data team are:

The EuroSpA project (www.eurospa.eu) is a Research Collaboration Network established in 2016 within the field of axial spondyloarthrits and psoriatic arthritis with participants from 16 European countries aiming to address research questions regarding real-world treatment of arthritis patients across Europe by pooling relevant variables from patient registries. The collaboration is currently expanding to include collection and assessment of MRI and X-rays. EuroSpA is led by an international Scientific Committee and supported by a Coordinating Centre located at COPECARE. The Coordinating Centre is staffed by a Project Lead, a project administrator and a data manager and led by 2 professors in Rheumatology. In addition, several Postdocs and PhD students are associated to the project.

The NORA project is a Nordic collaborative effort between Danish, Swedish and Norwegian academic institutions aiming to explore serological and genetic biomarkers associated with treatment effects and prognosis within rheumatoid arthritis. A fully merged dataset including a wide range of results from biomarker analyses and clinical outcome data from historic observational and clinical trial cohorts serves as a fundament for a range of explorative analyses. A statistical core team including statistical and clinical experts with representation from the three countries is currently being established.

DANBIO is a nationwide, Danish quality registry in rheumatology (danbio-online.dk). With more than 40,000 patients included and monitored prospectively, it is one of the largest in the world. DANBIO data on individual patients’ disease manifestations, treatments and outcomes over time can be enriched with other medical and socio-economic data by linkage to a large number of national administrative registries. This makes DANBIO a unique tool for surveillance of short- and long-term safety events in newly marketed drugs. A team of statistical, epidemiological and clinical experts is currently being established to solve those tasks.
