The postdoc will join an international and collaborative environment with close links to the Department of Psychology and the broader health sciences community.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in clinical psychology, epidemiology, psychiatry, or a related field; an excellent publication record with at least three first-authored peer-reviewed papers relevant to the project; strong analytical, writing, and organizational skills; documented experience in project organization; and a strong interest in alcohol research and older-adult health. Proficiency in English is required, and Danish is not required.
