Phd Student in Diabetes Epidemiology and Health Data Science
il y a 2 jours
**Background**
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide and exerts a disproportionate burden on individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Despite advances in care, traditional risk prediction models like the Steno Type 1 Risk Engine fail to account for the immunological dysregulation inherent in T1D. The ongoing Strategic Research Agreement IMPHEENITY (Immuno-Phenotyping for Better Cardiovascular Risk Prediction In People With Type 1 Diabetes), led by the Deep Digital Phenotyping (DDP) research unit at LIH, aims to revolutionise cardiovascular risk stratification by integrating deep clinical, digital, and immunological phenotyping.
**Project Objective**
**Key Responsibilities**
- Conduct advanced clinical epidemiological analyses using large cohort data (SFDT1, but also REVADIAB, ANGIOSAFE2);
- Identify phenotypic extremes to guide downstream immunological analyses;
- Collaborate closely with bioinformaticians, immunologists, and diabetologists to ensure integrated analysis and interpretation;
- Prepare scientific manuscripts for publication and present findings at national and international conferences;
- Participate in strategic planning and dissemination activities in coordination with other IMPHEENITY partners.
**Key Skills, Experience and Qualifications**
- MSc (or equivalent) in Data Science, Bioinformatics, Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Biomedical Sciences, or related disciplines;
- Strong background in statistical modeling, and/or machine learning (any experience in multimodal AI is an asset);
- Previous experience working with cohort data or electronic health records is an asset;
- Interest in digital health and diabetes research;
- Proficiency in R and/or Python;
- Excellent writing and communication skills in English. French is an asset.
