PhD Candidate - Bonn, Deutschland - Dzne
Beschreibung
We are looking for enthusiastic and ambitious students who are keen to work on the functional omics of ageing and age-related diseases as part of their PhD.
The job holder will be part of the Population Health Sciences group, led by Prof Dr Monique M B Breteler, and located at the headquarters of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Bonn. We study causes and biomarkers of normal and pathological mental and physical health, with a special emphasis on neurodegenerative diseases and ageing. The research is primarily based on the Rhineland Study, a prospective cohort study that emphasizes deep phenotyping. The study currently includes more than participants at baseline, follow-up data is already available from nearly 5000 participants, and further data collection is ongoing. Available clinical data include detailed structural and functional brain imaging, cognitive and neurological assessments, cardiovascular and anthropometric assessments, sensory systems tests, medical history, and medication use. We further have detailed exposome data, including information on physical activity, diet, and environmental toxin and temperature exposure. Importantly, we have extensive multi-omics data, both from baseline and follow-up, including genomic and epigenomic data (miRNA sequencing, DNA-methylation), transcriptomics, metabolomics, lipidomics and proteomics data.
You will integrate different layers of OMICS data (both cross-sectional and longitudinal) to investigate biological questions related to health outcomes with a specific focus on neurodegeneration. Responsibilities include: participation in and supervision of data acquisition and processing; data analysis and preparation of manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals; active participation in national and international conferences.
We offer
The PhD position will be integrated into the Bonn International Graduate School of Clinical and Population Science and further training in epidemiological, statistical and computational methods will be provided as needed. The position is initially limited to three years with the possibility of extension.
How to apply
Interested applicants should submit, as one single PDF file, a CV, transcripts, three references, and a cover letter describing your research interest and experience, through the link below.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. For inquiries about the position, please contact: population-
