Researcher at the Department of Affective Disorders – Aarhus University Hospital, Psychiatry

The Department of Affective Disorders – Aarhus University Hospital, Psychiatry invites applications for a position as researcher in the field of affective disorders as per May 1st, 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is permanent and full-time. The place of work will be Aarhus University Hospital - Psychiatry, Palle Juul-Jensens Boulevard 175, DK-8200 Aarhus N, Denmark.

About the position
The researcher will predominantly be working on his or her own projects. In these projects, there should be emphasis on two things: 1. To increase our knowledge with regard to the mental disorders that we treat at the department, namely depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, OCD, PTSD and personality disorder. 2. To develop knowledge that has the potential to improve clinical practice within the foreseeable future. The methods used to meet these aims are of less importance, but may involve register-based studies, surveys, machine learning, clinical cohorts, and clinical intervention studies.

The position is primarily research-based but may also involve minor teaching assignments within your area of expertise. You will contribute to the development of the department through research of high international quality. In your daily work, you will work closely with your colleagues at the department and collaborators elsewhere.

Your main tasks will consist of:

• Independent clinically oriented research of high international quality, including publication.
• Supervision of students – ideally also PhD-students
• Interaction with the clinical staff
• Fundraising
• Teaching (minor obligations)

You will report to Professor Søren D. Østergaard and Head consultant, Farahna Harees at the Department of Affective Disorders.

Your competences
You have academic qualifications at the PhD level, preferably within a field related to medicine, public health, statistics, data science or epidemiology. Applicants having significant experience at the postdoc level will be preferred. So will researchers, who already have a strong track record in psychiatric research (publications, teaching, supervision, research grants, national/international collaboration). We expect applicants to be fluent in oral and written English.

Academic affiliation
We work closely with the Department of Clinical Medicine, HEALTH, Aarhus University. If the researcher who will fill this position is qualified, we will seek to affiliate him or her as an Associate Professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine, HEALTH, Aarhus University. The qualification criteria are available here: https://health.au.dk/en/about-health/vacant-positions/recruitment-procedures-at-health/
   
Employment

Your application must include the following:

• A brief cover letter stating your motivation for applying for the position.
• Curriculum Vitae
