As a part of a H2020 European  project “NanoInformaTIX” (http://www.nanoinformatix.eu/), we open a PhD position in Biostatistics/Data science in the Thomas More University of Applied Sciences - Radius group (http://radius.thomasmore.be) and the center of statistics (CenStat), Hasselt University (https://www.uhasselt.be/censtat). The 4 years research project will be focused on  nanoparticle toxicity modelling. The PhD candidate will be located in the Thomas More Radius group (3-4 days per week) and UHasselt (1-2 days per week). Strating date of the PhD project: 01/10/2019.

 

Specific research lines of the PhD project include:

·  Dose-response modelling of nanoparticle toxicity.

·  Extrapolation of the (in vitro based) dose-response models to an in vivo setting.

·  Integrated data analysis of several nanoparticle toxicity databases.

 
Your Profile:

·  Master in biostatistics/statistics/bioinformatics.

·  Knowledge of R and SAS (knowledge of Winbugs/JAGS would be an asset).

·  Good written and excellent communication skills.

·  Ability to work independently and as a part of multidisciplinary team.

·  Problem solving skills and team player

This PhD position offers a unique opportunity to conduct research as a part of multidisciplinary team in collaboration with several European institutes.
