\"TU<\/a>DTU Compute (formerly DTU Informatics) would like to invite applications for a 3-year PhD position starting 1 May 2013. The project is financed by the EU project (FP7-312147) Integrated Approaches to Food Allergen and Allergy Risk Management (IFAAM) and DTU Compute.<\/p>\n

\n
Project Description
\nThe PhD is defined within the work package\u00a0Modelling allergenic risk, where the overall goal is to develop a validated tiered risk assessment and evidence-based risk management approach for food allergens in the food chain. Specifically the candidate will be involved in performing statistical analysis and modeling of cross national food consumption data including work with harmonization of available data across different countries. Also the candidate is planned to investigate and develop probabilistic risk assessment methods. The work will take place in a close collaboration with the Danish (DTU Food) and international partners in the project: TNO (WP-leader), FARRP, Unilever, ANSES and Hylobates. Short and longer visits with the international partners are expected.<\/p>\n

Requirements
\nCandidates must have a master degree in applied mathematics or engineering, or equivalent academic qualifications. Preference will be given to candidates who can document qualifications within statistics, data analysis and\/or probabilistic modelling. Furthermore, good command of the English language is essential.<\/p>\n

Approval and Enrolment
\nThe scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in the ITMAN Graduate School Programme of DTU Compute. Information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies is included in the general rules at DTU, which may be obtained\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
