Postdoc in genetics of puberty

A full-time postdoc (1 February 2027 to 31 July 2029) in reproductive and molecular epidemiology at the Department of Public Health, Aarhus University, funded by the Pioneer Centre SMARTbiomed (Aarhus, Oxford and Copenhagen). The research develops more efficient GWAS methods for ordinal traits such as the Tanner scale, incorporates genetically correlated traits such as age at menarche and voice breaking, and derives a polyproteomic score for pubertal development, with Mendelian randomisation studies of puberty and later health.

Supervisors are Professor Cecilia Høst Ramlau-Hansen, Nis Brix (Department of Clinical Genetics) and Professor Doug Speed (Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics).

A relevant PhD in data science, statistical or quantitative genetics, bioinformatics, statistics or computer science; experience analysing large health datasets, running GWAS (e.g. PLINK, GCTA, LDAK) and register-based research.
