Descripción
About the position At the Centre for Precision Psychiatry, Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo, a full-time 3-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship is available within the Research Council of Norway-funded ResiliDem project. The position offers an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated researcher to work at the interface of statistical data analysis, population-based research, and precision medicine in neurodegenerative disorders. The ResiliDem project aims to identify resilience and risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias by integrating large-scale human genetic data with phenotypic, environmental, lifestyle, and registry-based information. The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to data-driven and statistically rigorous analyses of complex, longitudinal human datasets, with a particular focus on understanding disease mechanisms, heterogeneity, and trajectories across the life course. The Centre for Precision Psychiatry has access to a rich and unique data infrastructure, including large databases of biomarkers, clinical and cognitive variables, genotyping and sequencing data, and MRI brain imaging data from patients with neuropsychiatric and severe mental disorders. In addition, the Centre actively collaborates with major international consortia, including the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC), the ENIGMA consortium, and the European Alzheimer’s Disease DNA BioBank (EADB). The research environment further benefits from access to data from a broad range of national and international studies, including Norwegian population cohorts (e.g., DemGene), the UK Biobank, and the ABCD and ADNI studies The position is primarily focused on advanced statistical analysis and data integration. While machine learning and computational approaches may be applied where appropriate, the core emphasis of the role is on population-level data analysis, interpretation, and scientific insight generation using large-scale real-world data.
