157786 Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Health Equity

4 weeks ago

København, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time

Section of Epidemiology, Department of Public Health
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen

The University seeks to appoint an Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Health Equity to the Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, to commence on May 1, 2023. The Associate Professor is expected to spearhead a research agenda that integrates modern methods from Epidemiology and Artificial Intelligence in the analysis of high-resolution life course data to understand and predict public health issues with a specific focus on health equity.

Denmark is one of the most data intensive countries in the world, which provide us with extensive possibilities to understand the health of our population and develop predictions for personalized medicine and prevention. At the same time, we believe it comes with an ethical obligation to use these data to search for and identify inequalities in the health care system. The successful candidate is expected to integrate analytical approaches from data science and epidemiology into optimal utilization of such multi-dimensional data, preferable in a life course perspective and with a specific focus on health equity. Epidemiology will also increasingly include less structured data such as smartphone activity data, image or location data, and the method development should also be aimed at including such less-structured data. The Associate Professor is expected to contribute to both theoretical and applied research within this area.

Information on the Department can be found at: .
