About this position
Postdoc in Genetics of Puberty at Aarhus University, Department of Public Health (Epidemiology, Environment and Biostatistics), Faculty of Health Sciences, Denmark.
This is a full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral position in reproductive and molecular epidemiology with a strong focus on statistical genetics, quantitative genetics, bioinformatics, GWAS, Mendelian randomization, and development of a polyproteomic score for pubertal development. The project combines methodological work and applied analyses of puberty-related traits such as Tanner scale data, age of menarche, and voice breaking, with investigation of disease susceptibility.
The postdoc will be jointly supervised by Professor Cecilia Høst Ramlau-Hansen, MD, PhD Nis Brix, and Professor Doug Speed, with collaborators including Professor Ruth Loos and Bjarke Feenstra. The work is linked to SMARTbiomed, an international collaboration involving Aarhus University, the University of Oxford, and the University of Copenhagen.
Eligibility highlights: a relevant PhD is required; applicants should have a background in data science, statistical genetics, quantitative genetics, bioinformatics, statistics, computer science, or a related field. Experience with large health datasets and electronic health records (e.g. UK Biobank or All of Us), GWAS tools such as PLINK/GCTA/LDAK, and register-based research is expected. Strong English communication and teamwork skills are required.
Funding and terms: the position is funded by SMARTbiomed and runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 July 2029. Salary follows Danish academic agreements, with a base salary range of DKK 493,394.35 to DKK 585,322.48 per year plus pension and possible supplements.
