Postdoctoral Position in Quantitative Analysis for Early Childhood Mental Health

The University of Copenhagen's Department of Psychology invites applications for a postdoctoral position in quantitative analysis for early childhood mental health research. The successful candidate will work on a project investigating the observation-based instrument, Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB), in the Danish ADBB Infancy Cohort with data from the health visitors' assessments during the first year of infants born in 63 Danish municipalities.

The postdoctoral researcher will conduct quantitative analyses on both questionnaires and data from the Danish registers. Additionally, the candidate will work in collaboration with other scientific employees at the Center for Early Intervention and Family Studies on the quantitative evaluation of complex interventions.

The successful candidate will have a PhD degree in epidemiology, sociology, psychology, public health, statistics, economics, or a related field, and experience with quantitative analyses of different types of datasets. Experience within the field of early childhood mental health is an advantage but not a prerequisite.

The position offers a unique opportunity to work in a research center with a focus on promoting mental health in children and parents. The successful candidate will be part of a team of researchers and will have the opportunity to develop new project ideas that fit within the overall aim of the Center for Early Intervention and Family Studies.

The position is for 3 years, and the employment start date is 01-01-2025. The department is located at the University of Copenhagen, and the successful candidate will be employed as a postdoctoral researcher.

The University of Copenhagen is a leading research university, and the Department of Psychology is one of the largest and most prestigious departments in the field. The department has a strong research focus on early childhood mental health, and the successful candidate will be part of a vibrant research community.

The position is open to candidates who hold a PhD degree or expect to finish it soon. The candidate must be able to work independently under supervision and have strong scientific writing skills. Collaborative skills and team spirit are highly regarded.

The University of Copenhagen offers a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package. The successful candidate will also have access to a range of training and development opportunities.

The application must be written in English and include the following documents: a motivated application, a diploma (master and PhD), and other relevant material. The closing date for applications is 23:59 CET 7 November 2024.
