Postdoctoral Researcher in Machine Learning & Predictive ModellingWe are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic postdoctoral researcher for a 3-year position, who is a specialist in predictive modelling to commence 1st December 2024. We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with experience in statistical machine learning to work on methods that combine health records and epidemiological data to develop robust applicable risk prediction models. We are looking for a candidate who has experience in, but not restricted to: implementing machine learning approaches (penalised regression, tree-based algorithms, Super Learner, deep learning models) in real-world scenarios, and analysing large data of electronic health records and nationwide registries.
Our research
The Section of Epidemiology actively contributes to advancing theoretical epidemiology, with a particular emphasis on causal inference, complexity, and life course epidemiology. Our research explores the dynamic interactions among genes, the environment, and health throughout the life course and across generations. As a Post Doc, you would become a member of The Computational and Mathematical Global Health Group, co-led by Professor Samir Bhatt and Associate Professor David Duchene located at the Section of Epidemiology at University of Copenhagen. We are a world-leading group that focuses on a diverse range of topics. We research at the interface between computer science, mathematics, biology, and epidemiology. The post doc position is in close collaboration with the machine learning and global health network mlgh.net. The position will be highly collaborative and crosscut/support multiple large projects in the group.
We are looking for a specialist in risk prediction modelling. The ideal candidate for this job would have had extensive experience developing and validating classic statistical and machine learning models in real-world scenarios, preferably in a clinical framework. Knowledge of epidemiology, study designs and causal inference would be considered a significant advantage. Your day-to-day tasks would be leading applications of statistical and machine learning models to a range of problems in the group including public health, biology, and economics. You will be in charge of developing models in tandem with other researchers in the group, with a focus in applicability. The ideal candidate would already have extensive experience implementing various learners using R and/or Python.
Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist with the following competencies and experience:
Essential experience and skills:
