PhD Opportunities in Causal Inference in Finland

This PhD project is part of TWIG, a five-year ERC Starting Grant focused on tropical forest biomass flows that are usually missed by conventional inventories. The work combines repeated terrestrial laser scanning with long-term forest monitoring to directly quantify damage, recovery, and biomass redistribution in mature tropical forests. The doctoral researcher will study the environmental and biological drivers of tree-level biomass changes and the ecological consequences of small-scale disturb...

The Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology in Jena offers a PhD position within the Carl Zeiss Stiftung Independent Research Group on High-End Climate Risks (CZS-HECR) . The group studies worst-case climate outcomes, from unprecedented and compounding extremes to their societal impacts, combining climate physics, Earth system analyses, targeted climate model experiments, advanced statistics, and machine-learning-based approaches to produce usable climate risk estimates for sectors such as healt...

The project investigates antibiotic use in hidradenitis suppurativa , a painful dermatological condition associated with recurrent boils, abscesses and scarring. The res...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in precision medicine and health inequalities at the Health Economics and Health Technology Assessment (HEHTA) unit, University of Glasgow. The project will analyse individual participant data from major UK clinical trials to investigate how preventive and treatment strategies can be better targeted. The research aims to improve health outcomes while reducing inequalities, bringing together precision medicine, causal inference, statistics, epidemiology and health eco...

University College London is offering a funded PhD opportunity in Statistical Science on enhancing pharmacometrics model development using causal inference methods . The doctoral project will develop theory and methods for integrating causal inference into pharmacometric modelling, with an application to busulfan in paediatric bone marrow transplantation. The research sits at the intersection of biostatistics, statistical science, pharmacometrics and clinical treatment modelling, offering an opp...

The advertised positions sit within BIPS’s broader prevention research agenda, with a strong emphasis on methodological and implementation research. The institute conducts its own cohort studies, participates in the NAKO Health Study, and uses secondary data from health i...

The University of Sussex is offering a funded full-time PhD in LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing inequalities , based in the School of Psychology within the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine at Falmer, UK. The project is supervised by Dr Ellen Thompson and sits within an interdisciplinary Wellcome Discovery Award focused on pathways to health equity for LGBTQ+ populations. The research will investigate the social, structural and individual determinants of health and health inequalities amon...

Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health is inviting applications for a Fall 2027 PhD in Biostatistics. The program offers advanced training in biostatistics and statistical methodology within a public-health research environment.
