Research Fellow, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition

The Epidemiology Group is seeking to recruit a Research Fellow with a background in Mathematics or Biostatistics. The appointed candidate will work on the following projects. Firstly, the CAPE consortium of the Advanced Pain Discovery Platform which seeks to understand the role of adversity in childhood on the experience of chronic pain as an adult. It involves bringing together data from diverse cohort studies  across the world which can help to answer this question. You can read more about work on this project here: Consortium Against Pain InEquality (CAPE) | The Institute of Applied Health Sciences | The University of Aberdeen (abdn.ac.uk). Secondly the British Society for Rheumatology Registry in Psoriatic Arthritis (BSR-PsA) a UK-wide study collecting data on patients, some of whom are commencing disease modifying drugs. In this project we are particularly seeking someone with skills in dealing with missing data specifically in imputation methods: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/iahs/research/epidemiology/bsrpsa-1469.php

Research Fellow, Medicine, Medical Sciences & Nutrition

Obesity and related diseases are amongst the most important health issues of the 21st century. Obesity incidence is increasing fast in children and teens in particular who can develop disease early in life that persists into adulthood. One of the main causes of obesity, diabetes and related diseases is the overconsumption of highly palatable energy-rich foods. An understanding of the long-term impact on brain and behaviour, especially on the control of feeding and food choice is essential for a better understanding of the effect of the modern lifestyle on feeding behaviours and health.

Research Fellow, Engineering

This post-doc position is part of a large multi-institution NERC-funded research project titled: Gravel barrier resilience in a changing climate (#gravelbeach). The project will deliver new scientific advances on gravel barrier dynamics over different time- and spatial scales, based on intense field observations, targeted laboratory experiments, and numerical model development/simulation. The enhanced understanding will be implemented into numerical tools capable of modelling barrier morphodynamics over timescales relevant to coastal managers, ranging from storms, through seasons and decades, to centuries, thereby improving sustainable coastal management methods, and increasing coastal resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change.
