About this position

The University of Southern Denmark is seeking a full-time postdoctoral researcher for a three-year project in epidemiology and women’s mental health during perimenopause. The position is based in the Research Unit of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry within the Department of Clinical Research, Faculty of Health Sciences, in collaboration with the international PROMIS research project.

The project uses cohort data linked to national registers to investigate risk factors for the onset or recurrence of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and psychotic disorders during perimenopause. It will also examine hormone therapy and mental health outcomes through target trial emulation, while developing and validating prediction models for mental disorders.

The postdoc will work closely with Principal Investigator Professor Trine Munk-Olsen, the project data analyst and collaborators in the UK, USA and Sweden. Responsibilities include planning epidemiological studies, preparing protocols and analysis plans, performing statistical analyses, interpreting results and writing scientific papers. The researcher will also contribute to dataset access applications, data harmonisation, quality assurance and documentation.

The research environment brings together expertise in psychiatry, psychology, epidemiology and public health. It is described as a growing, collaborative and interdisciplinary unit supporting early-career researchers, with related projects in perinatal mental health, child and adolescent psychiatry, early intervention and prevention. The role offers scope to shape research questions, study designs and methodological choices, with limited travel and possible teaching or supervision according to interests.

Funding details

The position is funded by a Wellcome Trust grant through PROMIS. It is a full-time, three-year salaried postdoc employed under the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. Salary is within steps 4–8 of the Danish state salary scale depending on seniority, with a centrally agreed postdoc allowance and possible qualification- and function-related allowances.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in epidemiology, health sciences, biostatistics or data science with a strong health focus, or expect to complete it by the starting date. In addition, at least 1–2 years of research-related experience is envisaged. Required qualifications include a clear academic interest in women’s mental health; several first-author scientific papers; experience in epidemiological research using register or cohort data; advanced epidemiological and statistical methods; statistical programming such as R or Stata; the ability to independently plan studies, prepare protocols, conduct analyses and write scientific papers; strong collaboration skills; systematic data-quality, documentation and research-data maintenance skills; and fluency in written and spoken English. Experience in psychiatric epidemiology, prediction-model development or validation, target trial emulation and international research collaborations is advantageous. Danish language skills are advantageous but not required.
