About the Center for Molecular Prediction of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, PREDICT  
The purpose of PREDICT is to study the causes and prognosis of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD), which are chronic and disabling diseases affecting millions of young people worldwide. PREDICT is a diverse, interdisciplinary center with a central campus in Copenhagen and six national partner institutions. Principal investigators include clinicians, basic scientists, data scientists, and epidemiologists. In addition to national partnerships, PREDICT has strong collaborations with leading international institutions in the field. 

The PhD project will focus on the paediatric part of the North Denmark IBD(NorDIBD) cohort and is expected to lead to international publications and international collaboration. Based on the unique population-based cohort and combining this with Danish register data, the PhD stipend will examine the phenotypes of paediatric IBD.

As a PhD fellow you will be working closely with the Center’s interdisciplinary group of scientists to perform forefront, international research. You will be responsible for literature search, research protocol development, statistical analysis, writing of scientific papers, and presentation of your work at national and international meetings. You will work with basic and data scientists, and researchers who will support you in the development of these skills.

We are looking for a self-motivated candidate with a keen interest in paediatric inflammatory bowel diseases. The candidate will ideally have previous experience in working with the NorDIBD cohort.
