German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), Germany

We study determinants and biomarkers of normal and pathological mental and physical health function over the adult life course, with a special emphasis on neurodegenerative diseases and aging. The research is primarily based on the Rhineland Study, a prospective cohort study that emphasizes deep phenotyping.

You will investigate drug utilization (e.g. drug patterns, drug-drug interactions, and drug-gene interactions) and the effects of drug use on health outcomes with a specific focus on neurodegeneration. Responsibilities include: participation in and supervision of data acquisition and processing; data analysis and preparation of manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals; active participation in national and international conferences.
