Biostatistician position at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm
The Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics has approximately 200 persons working at the department including 20 in the Biostatistics group.
The department is involved in a number of large research projects spanning many research fields. We make extensive use of data from national health registers, questionnaires, and an increasing proportion of projects also contain genetic and molecular data. The biostatisticians also conduct their own research in biostatistics and epidemiology .
The successful candidate will work under the guidance of a Professor of Biostatistics and will have access to two applied biostatisticians who also work on the same project.
Area of responsibilities/duties:
We are currently looking for a qualified statistician to work on a multidisciplinary project titled "Transmitted and Acquired Determinants of Health across the Life-Span", funded by Vetenskapsrådet under SIMSAM (Swedish Initiative for research on Microdata in the Social and Medical Sciences, ).
The biostatistician will be responsible for recognizing and applying appropriate statistical models to complex data analysis in several applications and for developing new approaches.
The project involves five distinct research themes, covering:
(1) early life exposure to antibiotics, family history and subsequent childhood health,
(2) effects of psychiatric disorders in parents on adolescent criminality in offspring,
(3) prenatal exposures and familial contribution to obesity in young adulthood and its influence on subsequent cardiovascular morbidity
(4) family history, transgenerational socioeconomic status and cardiovascular diseases
(5) familial cancer data for clinical counseling and cancer genetics.
The common focus of the SIMSAM projects is the use of Swedish register data to address the research objectives. An important component of the project is the development of statistical methods for valid and optimal use of data from population registers.
The position is for one year with the possibility of extension for another year.
Qualifications: You should have a PhD in biostatistics or statistics. Experience of medical research and/or epidemiology is valuable. We put great emphasis on communication skills, since a large part of our work is collaboration with non-statisticians. You should have good collaborative skills, and be eager to deepen your knowledge in epidemiology, biology or medicine as the need arises. Swedish and English are the working languages at the department. The position provides an ideal opportunity for a recent PhD graduate interested to develop a career in biostatistics.

PhD Biostatistician in Bern. Oferta hasta el 1 de Marzo
The Faculty of Medicine at the University of Bern is
one of five medical faculties in Switzerland. The
Faculty’s Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine
(ISPM) employs some 100 staff and provides undergraduate
and post-graduate education and carries
out research in a range of disciplines relevant to
Public Health. ISPM offers a lively, interdisciplinary
environment with excellent computing and library
facilities. With its mediaeval architecture, the Swiss
capital city of Bern is a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, which offers excellent quality of life in the
proximity of the Alps.
An opening for a
PhD position in biostatistics / epidemiology (childhood asthma)
is available from 1st March 2009, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Childhood
wheezing disorders (including childhood asthma) are the most common chronic health problem in
childhood. Yet, the factors that determine if a child gets asthma, and if it grows out of it or develops
chronic disease, are poorly known. This PhD project will focus on the prediction of onset and
persistence of childhood wheezing disorders, using data from large population-based cohort studies
(N=10,000; Int J Epidemiol 2007;36:977-85).
Specifically the applicant will:
• Perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the existing literature on predictors of onset and
persistence of wheeze and asthma.
• Explore, apply and compare the performance of the methods (e.g. logistic regression, classification
and regression trees, and artificial neural networks) in predicting onset and persistence of asthma in
children.
• Develop prognostic tools for use in clinical practice.
• Prepare graphs and tables based on the analysis, write statistical reports and scientific papers.
• Present results at national and international conferences.
• Travel to England 2-3 times per year for meetings with collaborators.
• Participate in general tasks relating to the management of the Leicester cohort studies (database
creation and maintenance, logistics of ongoing and future surveys, data cleaning, grant
applications).
We are seeking a PhD candidate with a strong background in applied statistics and with an interest in
clinical epidemiology or public health. Candidates with a degree in statistics, mathematics, medicine or
natural sciences are welcome to apply.
The ideal candidate will be a motivated graduate student (diploma or master degree) with good skills
in statistical programming (R or Matlab) combined with an interest in applied health related research.
Experience in the use of standard statistical software such as Stata or SAS, in writing scientific papers
and reports and in presenting results would be advantageous. The ability to maintain clear
documentation is essential. Languages: excellent knowledge of English and either German or French.
The appointment is available from March 2009 for 3 years. The salary of the PhD position is based on
the salary scale of the Swiss National Science Foundation. More detailed information on the position
can be obtained from Claudia Kuehni.
Please send your applications including curriculum vitae as soon as possible, but not later than
February 15, 2009 to: PD Dr. med. Claudia Kuehni, Institut für Sozial- und Präventivmedizin
Finkenhubelweg 11, CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland. E-mail: kuehni@ispm.unibe.ch.
