We are looking for two highly motivated and dynamic researchers for 2-year positions to commerce on 1 October 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The postdocs will be part of an interdisciplinary research group in Complexity and Big Data Epidemiology, which utilizes the opportunities nested within large and complex national and international datasets, including nationwide registers.

Our research
We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in an international and interdisciplinary research environment. Health is a complex phenomenon and we study the social and biological factors determining health and disease. We also aim to elucidate the underlying behavioral, psychological, and physiological mechanisms that might explain these effects. To embrace complexity in health, we actively explore new sources (e.g. smartphones) of ‘big data’, incorporate system theory thinking, leverage insights across disciplines, and explore the opportunities in citizen science with a direct societal engagement and impact.

Your job
The postdocs will be part of large epidemiological research projects. One of the postdoc positions will be nested within a large-scale registry-based project on childhood adversities and gestational diabetes based on data from the globally unique DANLIFE cohort. More details about the DANLIFE can be found at www.danlife.ku.dk. The other postdoc position will be nested within the SmartSleep project, which aims at documenting the relation between mobile phones, sleep and health. The SmartSleep project is based on a triangulation of evidence from questionnaires, high-resolution tracking data and comprehensive clinical data. More details about the SmartSleep project can be found at www.smartsleep.ku.dk. The work tasks include data management of large studies, scientific work related to childhood adversities and/or sleep and health, statistical analyses of large complex data materials, writing scientific papers and teaching.
