The Department of Statistics is seeking a postdoc to work within a multidisciplinary project on age-related changes in cognition and health (the Betula project). The main task will be to conduct integrative analyses of longitudinal and cross-sectional data from questionnaires, cognitive tests, brain imaging scans, and genome wide scans. The project is carried out in collaboration with Umeå Center for Functional Brain Imaging (UFBI). The successful applicant is expected to work in close collaboration with scientists at UFBI in developing methods to analyse and integrate the large amount of data available.
To qualify for the position you need a PhD degree in Statistics, Mathematical Statistics or a related field, no later than three years before the last date of application. Experience in working with longitudinal studies, and/or brain imaging, and/or genetic statistics is a merit.
The postdoc position will be placed at the Department of Statistics and the applicant is expected to spend parts of the time at UFBI. Starting date: 1 October 2010.
The application can be submitted either electronically or in hard-copy form. Applicants should submit 1) a cover letter, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3) copies of degree certificates, 4) a statement of previous research achievements and teaching merits, 5) a publication list and reprints/copies of published work and PhD thesis, 6) a research plan (maximum 3 pages, showing how the applicants own research can be linked to the main task described above) and 7) names and contact information of 2 references, all in two copies if the application is in hard copy form. Note that in order to be considered, applications must include copies of reprints.
