Student Helper with interest and/or experience in data science in the Copenhagen Pregnancy Loss project at the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Hvidovre Hospital

BEMÆRK: Ansøgningsfristen er overskredet

The Copenhagen Pregnancy Loss project (COPL) is hiring a data science student helper for 10 hours per week to join the data science team. The data science team is responsible for analytical pipelines, data management, and model development and statistical analysis.

The COPL project was initiated in 2019, following an 18 million DKK grant from the BioInnovation Institute, and in 2023 a 25 million DKK grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The goal is to understand causes of pregnancy loss through integration of clinical data and multi-omics data (whole-genome sequencing, metagenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), and develop new AI models that can assist clinicians in decision making.

As a part of the data science team, you will assist with data management tasks and help develop computational pipelines and analytical models. Specifically, there will be a strong focus on quality control of data, automation of reporting of samples with ad hoc analyses. All work will be done in close collaboration with clinical researchers from the department.

You will be part of a growing environment, in which doctors, biologists, and data scientists openly discuss issues and solutions to advance precision medicine within the area of gynaecology, obstetrics, and women’s health.

Applications will be reviewed upon receipt, and interviews may be scheduled at any time, depending on applicant availability.

Projected start date: As soon as possible
