Position We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in population and/or statistical genetics to develop polygenic risk scores that would a) address the problem of transferability of PRS across populations and b) be suitable for risk prediction for individuals with mixed ancestry. In addition, other aspects of context that modulate the predictive power of PRS,....

We are looking for a 2-year (can be extended to 4 years) postdoc in hydrological modelling to work on testing different land use in various catchment to identify the effectiveness of in-stream wetlands to reduce the agricultural nutrient loads. The research is part of the “Creating Water-Smart Landscapes” project funded by European Research Council. The results....

We are looking for a 2-year (can be extended) postdoc in geoinformatics to work on novel data cube implementations in Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS). The research is part of the “Creating Water-Smart Landscapes” project funded by European Research Council and Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Land Use.  You will be working in the Landscape Geoinformatics....

Position We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to integrate both polygenic risk models and clinically actionable rare variants to create more comprehensive disease risk assessments. We will use WGS data to assess the combined monogenic and polygenic risks for heritable diseases, focusing on different ethnic and ancestry groups to develop and adjust prediction models....
