Postdoctoral Fellow in Biostatistics | Oslo, Østlandet, Norway | University of Oslo

Position:	Postdoctoral Fellow in Biostatistics
Institution:	University of Oslo
Location:	Oslo, Østlandet, Norway
Duties:	The post holder will carry out research in statistical methodology related to analysis of high-dimensional data and apply this to analysis of studies in nutrition with the aim of understanding inter-individual variation in cardiometabolic responses to dietary interventions. From a methodological point of view, we are specifically interested in variable selection with error control in high-dimensional linear mixed models, while understanding inter-individual variation in response to dietary interventions is a prerequisite for developing personalized nutritional guidelines. The work will be carried out in close collaboration with researchers at both the Department of Biostatistics and the Department of Nutrition
Requirements:	Applicants must hold a PhD degree in statistics, biostatistics, mathematics, or other relevant discipline, with documented experience in statistics; Some knowledge and experience with high-dimensional statistics (e.g. penalized regression models) is an advantage; Experience with genomic data is an advantage, but not necessary; Documented programming skills in R, python, MatLab, C, C++ or equivalent are necessary
