Doctoral candidate in psychiatric epidemiology

 

To be a doctoral student means to devote oneself to a research project under supervision of experienced researchers and following an individual study plan. For a doctoral degree, the equivalent of four years of full-time doctoral education is required.

The research group

The Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (MEB) at Karolinska Institutet has about 280 researchers, doctoral students, statisticians, programmers, data collectors, database administrators and administrative staff. The department is also host to KI Biobank and is responsible for the Swedish Twin Registry. The organization has the critical resources and the infrastructure needed (servers/IT systems, database managers, and statisticians) to perform significant and innovative large-scale register studies.

This doctoral project brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers with expertise in relevant areas, including psychiatry, medical sciences and epidemiology. The doctoral student will also get support from a biostatistician at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatics. The research group in psychiatric epidemiology will bring additional support and opportunities for the PhD student. For example, the research group organizes weekly meetings, where 20-30 researchers meet and discuss their current ongoing research as well as updates in the wider scientific field. We also have collaborations with several other research groups at KI, clinical units in Sweden, and international leading researchers within the research area. 

Supervisors of the the doctoral student will be Ebba Du Rietz, Zheng Chang, Henrik Larsson and Laura Ghirardi. 

The doctoral student project and the duties of the doctoral student

The proposed project is based on two large-scale Swedish data sources and aims to explore whether attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and treatment with ADHD medications influence the management and prognosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). First, the Swedish National Diabetes Register will be used, which includes about 750 000 patients with a diagnosis of T2DM and has detailed clinical and lab-based measures. The Swedish National Registers will also be used, which cover the entire Swedish population since 1932 (>15 million individuals), and can be used to obtain information on diagnosis of psychiatric and somatic diseases, medication treatments, date and cause of death, and socioeconomic status. One of the PhD projects will also include a cross-site meta-analysis of numerous health records, as part of a large EU Horizon 2020 grant (read more here: https://timespan.eu).

The successful candidate is expected to apply advanced epidemiological analytical methods to explore the impact of ADHD and treatment with ADHD medications on the management and prognosis of T2DM. The candidate will also be expected to contribute to project design, and the interpretation and presentation of results (through scientific publications and conference presentations).

PhD student position in Epidemiology and Causal Inference

 

To be a doctoral student means to devote oneself to a research project under supervision of experienced researchers and following an individual study plan. For a doctoral degree, the equivalent of four years of full-time doctoral education is required.

The research group

The research at the Unit of Epidemiology within the Institute of Environmental Medicine (IMM) is focused on advancing knowledge about disease etiology and prognosis, and methodological development and stringency. The research is based on large register-based cohorts, as well as cohorts and case-control studies with extensive information from questionnaires and biological samples. The supervision team will consist of the principal supervisor, Anthony Matthews (IMM), and three co-supervisors: Miguel Hernán (Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health/IMM), Anita Berglund (IMM), and Bertil Lindahl (Uppsala University). The student will also be part of a wider group of researchers working primarily within casual inference using Swedish register data.

The doctoral student project and the duties of the doctoral student

The doctoral student project will be in the areas of epidemiology and causal inference. The general aim will be to understand how we effectively benchmark observational studies against randomized trials that ask the similar questions, with the wider goal of using these observational data to complement inferences made in trials. The project will consist of two broad parts: a methodological part, that aims to understand why differences in results may occur between observational studies and trials; and an applied part, which will use the target trial framework to design an observational study on the comparative effect of two treatments used in patients with acute coronary syndrome, that will then be benchmarked against the results of a trial that asks a similar question. The student will be expected to contribute towards study design, carry out analyses, and interpret results, as well as engaging in group meetings, departmental seminars, and relevant national and international meetings.

More about the position

About the project:


The position is part of the UiO: Life Science convergence environment “Integrated technologies for tracking organoid/gastruloid morphogenesis” (ITOM). Embryonic stem cell (ESC) technology has allowed the development of organoids/gastruloids that show features of organ induction but lack further maturation and show large variations. The field, therefore, requires high-content tracking tools and algorithms to guide organoid/gastruloid development. The project will use advanced correlative imaging technologies and data analysis to guide the differentiation of ESC-derived organoids/gastruloids. The ITOM project unites three different Centres of Excellence in the Oslo area: HTH-CoE, Njord-CoE, and RITMO-CoE. As such, the candidate will be part of a large and closely interacting interdisciplinary team of basic scientists, developmental biologists, chemists, physicists, computational scientists, and rhythm researchers.


Job description:


The recruited postdoctoral fellow will develop physics-based computational models of morphogenesis using the experimental observations from tracking and guiding organoid/gastruloid development. We aim to create computer simulations of the organoid growth and to better understand the key self-organization principles of cells and their collective response to external perturbations during organoid/gastruloid formation. This is an interdisciplinary project that will integrate the experimental observations and data analysis including machine learning methods. 


The candidate will be supervised by Prof. Luiza Angheluta from Njord Centre/Department of Physics, where the candidate will be hosted. Co-supervision will be provided by Prof. Dag Kristian Dysthe (Njord Centre) and Prof. Stefan Krauss (HTH Centre).
