København N
The Center for Health Data Science at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, is offering a combined Research Assistant-PhD scholarship (five months plus three years, respectively) in multi-disciplinary application of data science approaches to investigate autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and co-occurring conditions. Starting date is expected to be August 1, 2021.
Center for Health Science Data
The Center for Health Data Science (HeaDS) is a newly formed center at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, which is a hub for data science research at the Faculty and offers support to other research groups. Around 20 top researchers/research groups are members of the Center and we aim to establish more groups within the Center and create a world-class research environment for health data science with close links to the many experimental and clinical groups at the Faculty. HeaDS is located at the Panum Institute. The project will be in the group of Assistant Professor Tugce Karaderi.
Job/Study Description
The project will make use of state-of-the art data science approaches to study the (genomic) epidemiology and pathophysiology of AITD, which is one of the most common endocrine conditions worldwide. Having AITD increases the risk for adverse cardiovascular, metabolic, psychological, reproductive conditions as well as thyroid cancer and other immune-mediated diseases, while affecting the quality of life of the patients. We will use a multi-disciplinary and integrative approach combining various data types. The project will (1) define disease co-morbidities and patient profiles in multiple large datasets such as the Danish registries involving longitudinal analyses, and (2) investigate the genomics of AITD and its co-morbidities to more precisely understand the relevant risk factors and biological mechanisms, and hence, offer novel approaches for more personalized healthcare to the patients, most of whom require life-long treatment, as well as to the individuals at risk.
Required qualifications:
It is expected that applicants have a passion for medical applications of data science. Experience in bioinformatics in general, a good understanding of math/statistics, and familiarity with multi-omics datasets and machine learning will be considered advantageous.
