Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus University Full time
About the Position

Aarhus University's Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be part of a dynamic research environment focused on developing novel methods and software tools for the analysis of data from genetically admixed populations.

Research Focus

The main purpose of this project is to understand how diverse ancestral origins of admixed populations translate into differences in their genetic background and thereby differences in phenotypic expression of complex traits. You will be responsible for developing statistical and machine learning methods to exploit ancestry patterns over the genome of individuals, as well as developing methods for simulation and analysis of complex network structures.

Responsibilities
  • Develop and implement statistical and machine learning methods for analyzing genomic data from admixed populations
  • Collaborate with researchers to design and conduct simulations and real-data analyses
  • Develop software tools for data analysis and simulations
  • Disseminate research findings through international conferences and scientific publications
  • Participate in organizing short courses and workshops
About Us

Aarhus University is an international research center with a strong focus on quantitative genetics and genomics. Our research is characterized by close collaboration with industry partners, and we offer a dynamic research environment with opportunities for professional growth and development.

Requirements
  • PhD degree in data science, statistics, applied mathematics, or a related field
  • Strong background in machine learning and statistics, with experience in developing computational tools and software
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work in a team environment
  • Fluency in English, with the ability to communicate complex ideas effectively
What We Offer

Aarhus University offers a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as opportunities for professional growth and development. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment, and we welcome applications from candidates from underrepresented groups.
