The employment is placed at the Perinatal Laboratory, Perinatal Medical Centre, Dept Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital/Östra (East).
Job assignments
Identify and assess risk factors affecting gestational age in humans. The projects include investigation of large genomic datasets (bead-chip microarray genotyping), medical registers and food-frequency questionnaires. The applicant will formulate and test hypotheses as well as use hypothesis-free scans. The tasks include writing scientific reports and project proposals, acquiring ethical approvals, as well as authoring and co-authoring research manuscripts (including the submission to the journal process). The first project will be an investigation of gene-environment interactions during pregnancy, where the environmental factor is self-reported folate intake and the main outcome is preterm birth.
Qualifications

• Master's degree in the field equivalent to "molecular biology", "statistical biology", "biomedicine", "epidemiology", "genetics", "statistics".
• Excellent oral and, more importantly, written English language skills.
• Proven ability to write coherent scientific text: meritorious is at least one published or submitted manuscript where the applicant is the first author and wrote a major part of the text.
• Advanced level of coding in statistical language R and experience in UNIX environment.
Meritorious qualifications;
Good understanding of the following topics:
• Statistics (linear regression models, mixed-effect models for longitudinal data analyses, survival models, interactions)
• Physiology and biology of pregnancy (gestation, preterm birth, fetal growth, preeclampsia, inflammation, infection, nutrition)
• Biochemistry (folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism and related pathways)
• Genetics (genomics, bead-chip microarrays, GWAS, GxE)
• Data science (large-scale dataset manipulations)
An ongoing or finished PhD degree would also be considered as a merit.
Employment
The employment is limited (temporary) 100% for 6 months with placement at the Institute of Clinical Sciences, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. First day of employment as soon as possible
