Postdoc position in method development in human statistical genetics, with a focus on classification...

Research area and project description Applications are invited for a postdoc position at the Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics, Aarhus University, starting from 1st October 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position will be for two years. The postdoc will be supervised by Professor Doug Speed, and based at the Department of Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) at Aarhus University. Dr Speed's research involves developing statistical methods for better analysing data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), with a particular focus on improving our understanding of human complex traits. Dr Speed has developed the software package LDAK (www.ldak.org). The position will be mainly funded by an ERC consolidator grant, aimed at finding novels ways to classify complex diseases based on genetic data: “Many common diseases are highly heterogeneous, meaning that two individuals can be diagnosed with the same disease but have very different progressions or respond very differently to the same medication. These heterogeneous diseases affect a sizeable proportion of the population. For example, approximately one in four people will develop a heterogeneous brain disorder (e.g., a neurological condition such as epilepsy or Parkinson’s Disease, or a psychiatric condition such as depression or schizophrenia) To effectively treat a patient with a heterogeneous disease, it is necessary to quickly and accurately identify their subtype. At present, patient subtypes are decided using only clinical observations, and the process is highly suboptimal. For example, the available subtypes are often incomplete or poorly-defined, meaning that many patients are wrongly classified or can not be classified at all. Previous research indicates that for many heterogeneous diseases, the classification of patients can be improved by incorporating genetic information. However, for this to become a reality, requires statistical tools that do not yet exist. This project will develop novel statistical tools for classifying heterogeneous diseases based on genetic information.” As such, the primary aim of the postdoc is to develop a new tool for finding subtypes of heterogeneous diseases, that are more informative than existing clinically-derived subtypes (e.g., that better guide prognosis or drug treatment). These subtypes might be based on genetic information (e.g., SNPs and metabolites) or heritable phenotypes (e.g., biomarkers and traits related to the target disease). There is also scope within the postdoc for developing “more standard” GWAS tools (e.g., tools for association analysis, constructing polygenic scores and understanding genetic architecture).
