The University of Marburg, founded in 1527, offers a variety of excellent programs of study for around 22,000 students and confronts the important topics of our time through excellent research across a broad spectrum of sciences.
The Department of Medicine, Institute for Medical Biometry and Biostatistics, head Prof. Dr. Andreas Mayr, is currently accepting applications for a
in the field of Statistical Genetics. The position is offered for a period of 3 years. The starting date is 01.01.2025. The position is fulltime with salary and benefits commensurate with a public service position in the state Hesse, Germany (TV-H E 13, 100 %). The position is funded by the DFG project “Estimation of polygenic risk scores through boosting and distributional regression for the identification of possible gene-environment interactions”.
The candidate will work on the implementation of innovative statistical learning approaches to model the genetic architecture of complex, multifactorial phenotypes. The work will involve analysing extensive datasets from biobanks and datasets made available from various international scientific projects in which the Center for Human Genetics is involved. These projects aim to conduct phenome-wide analyses to investigate the interplay between genetics and environmental factors in complex diseases and quantitative traits.
The position is limited to a time period deemed adequate for the completion of a doctoral degree. As part of the assigned duties, there will be ample opportunity to conduct the independent scientific research necessary for the completion of a doctorate. The limitation complies to § 2, 1 WissZeitVG.
The willingness to pursue academic qualification through a doctoral thesis within the scope of the research project is expected.
We actively support the professional development of junior researchers by the offers of Marburg Research Academy (MARA), the International Office and the Higher Education Didactics Office.
