About this position
PhD Fellowship in Nutrition and Inflammatory Bowel Disease at Aalborg University (Department of Clinical Medicine, Copenhagen).
This PhD project is hosted by the National Center of Excellence for the Molecular Prediction of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (PREDICT) and the Nutrition Research Group. The research focuses on the role of diet in the development and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), using large population-based cohorts, epidemiological methods, and statistical analysis to study dietary patterns, nutritional exposures, and disease outcomes.
The position is a 3-year full-time PhD stipend within the doctoral program Clinical Science, Laboratory and Translational Medicine. The environment is described as international, interdisciplinary, and well-funded, with access to Danish nationwide health registries, Danish National Biobank data, and the NorDIBD Cohort.
Research tasks include systematic literature reviews, protocol development, statistical analysis planning, management and analysis of large-scale epidemiological data, use of R and related software, scientific writing, conference presentations, and collaboration with epidemiologists, nutrition scientists, clinicians, and biostatisticians.
Eligibility highlights include a relevant Master’s degree (e.g., Nutrition and Dietetics, Human Nutrition, Public Health, Epidemiology, Health Sciences), knowledge of nutritional epidemiology and IBD, experience with scientific writing, and strong English and teamwork skills. The PhD also requires enrollment at the doctoral school, completion of 30 ECTS PhD courses, teaching/dissemination experience, and an external research stay outside Aalborg University.
Deadline: 28 October 2026. Apply via Aalborg University’s recruitment system and include the required application documents.
