The University of Stavanger in Norway is offering a fully funded 3-year PhD position in biostatistics, with a focus on developing advanced statistical methods to better understand, describe, and predict patient conditions during cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The research will involve the development and adaptation of statistical time to event analysis techniques, including multi-state models and joint models, to address complex medical data challenges in emergency medicine.

The project is supervised by Professor Jan Terje Kvaløy from the Department of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Stavanger. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in statistics, biostatistics, or a closely related field, and should be proficient in statistical programming. Experience with time to event analysis, multi-state models, or joint models is highly desirable. The research is interdisciplinary, bridging statistics, mathematics, and medical science, and is particularly relevant for those interested in the application of quantitative methods to healthcare and patient outcomes.

The position is fully funded for three years, covering salary and potentially tuition and research expenses according to university policies. The application deadline is March 12th, 2026. For more information and to apply, candidates should refer to the official job announcement linked in the post. This opportunity is ideal for motivated individuals seeking to contribute to impactful research at the intersection of statistics and medical science, particularly in the context of cardiac arrest and resuscitation.
