The National Institute of Public Health at University of Southern Denmark (SDU) seeks applicants for a post doc on the ‘The Cognition Program’ for a two-year position, starting the 1st of January 2025.
The Cognition program is based on comprehensive and continuously updated information on cognitive capacity, childhood adversities, and environmental factors from more than two million Danish children. The main objective of the Cognition program is to investigate to what extent exposure to childhood adversities and environmental pollutants can lead to poorer cognitive capacity.
The post doc will be responsible for analysing trajectories across different measures of cognitive capacity from age 10 to age 28 and furthermore for establishing a composite measure of cognition based on the nation-wide Cognition Database. Additionally, the post doc will contribute to studies of childhood adversities and environmental pollutants as potential risk factors of cognitive capacity. The Cognition Database will include different measures of cognitive capacity throughout the life-course and utilize available data from registered residents in Denmark. The post doc will be part of a research team consisting of several internationally established senior researchers and PhD students from University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen as well collaborators from foreign universities. The post doc is expected to analyse data and write scientific publications and contribute substantially to other publications from the group that are based on the Cognition Database.
