About this position

Two full-time postdoctoral positions are available at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, Denmark, starting 1 November 2026. The openings are in two closely collaborating research environments: pharmacoepidemiology within Clinical Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Environmental Medicine (CPPEM), Department of Public Health, and reproductive epidemiology within the Department of Clinical Research.

Position 1: Pharmacoepidemiology focuses on the long-term safety and benefits of ADHD medication in children, adolescents, and young adults. The postdoc will work on large Danish-Norwegian register-based observational studies, with possible involvement in primary data collection, including medical chart extraction using natural language models and stakeholder surveys in child and adolescent mental health services.

Position 2: Reproductive epidemiology is part of the FEMME project (Fertility and Medically assisted reproduction: Mapping women’s short- and long-term health Effects). This project studies cardiovascular disease and cancer risk after medically assisted reproduction using Danish and Norwegian nationwide registers, with follow-up of up to 30 years.

Both positions involve planning, conducting, and publishing epidemiological studies, working with large-scale observational data, and contributing to the supervision of PhD students. The research environment spans pharmacoepidemiology, reproductive epidemiology, mental health, cancer, and cardiovascular research, with strong national and international collaborations and access to Danish nationwide registers and Nordic population data.

Eligibility highlights: a PhD in epidemiology, pharmacoepidemiology, biostatistics, or a related field (or completion by the start date), fluent English, experience with large health data, advanced epidemiological/statistical methods, and programming skills. Experience with Nordic registers is an advantage.

Application deadline: 15 September 2026 at 23:59 CET. Applications must be submitted electronically in English via the SDU application portal. Required documents include a motivation letter, CV, degree certificates, publication list, three selected publications, teaching portfolio, research experience description, and other relevant qualifications.

Foreign applicants may receive Danish language training, and SDU’s International Staff Office provides support for new employees.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
