About the job

The Department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine has a vacancy for an experienced scientist with statistical competence in epidemiology and clinical studies. 

The project Childrens Lung Study in Dhulikhel, Nepal (C LUNG) seeks scientist for clinical study coordination and data analyses in a 20% position lasting until 31.12 2026 with possibility for extension. A 50% position for one year is possible for a very suitable candidate with extensive experience from duties in the position. The successful candidate is expected to start during fall of 2024

The position offers work with challenging and varied tasks in a versatile and pleasant environment that is characterized by active, committed, and skilled employees. The research group is interdisciplinary and has international collaborations in various countries.

About the project: Childrens Lung Study in Dhulikhel, Nepal (C LUNG). The project's ambition is to improve outcomes in early childhood lower respiratory infections (cLRTI) and to develop affordable prevention of childhood asthma and chronic lung disease in Nepal. To meet our ambition, we have designed a clinical prospective C-LUNG Study to establish state-of-the-art knowledge to reveal the role of LRTI in childhood as a determinant of long-term lung health/chronic lung disease in a low-middle income country (LMIC). We will assess etiology patterns in children with LRTI. By strengthening local molecular diagnostic and biobanking of samples for retrospective viral tests, the basis for future surveillance capacity has also been formed. In C-LUNG will follow up children after early-life LRTI, to assess the rate of recurrent LRTIs, wheezing episodes, lung function and compare them to a control group of children without LRI. We will extend traditional outcome assessments including family and child-related QoL effects. In a selection of the LRTI study participants with the highest risk of asthma development, we will evaluate the effects of corticosteroids in a RCT. In addition, we will do in-depth immune profiling of blood from children with different viral infections both at admission and one year later to identify and assess immune dysregulations associated with the development of chronic lung disease. The procject is funded from Research Council of Norway (GLOBVAC).

Your immediate leader is Kari Risnes.
