**Postdoc Position in the Research Group of Lucas Leemann**

The future post holder's responsibility is to work on various challenges in statistical modeling that arise in two specific sub-projects within work package 3 (social-media based public health surveillance tool & early warning system to manage allergic rhinitis symptoms). The main challenge is to work with various data sources that exhibit (severe) self-selection and are not well structured. The future post holder will work mostly on the development of the core prediction model and collaborate frequently with researchers from other institutions that work within the same work package: Slava Jankin (Data Science), Bernardo Sousa-Pinto (Public Health), and Joan Bousquet (Medicine).

- A strong interest in academic research, ideally proven through internationally visible publications, third-party funding, or related research activities.
- Dedication, ability to work in a team, and ability to work independently.
- Strong command of English.

**Essential skills**:

- Strong methodological skills and willingness to keep learning how to use new tools.
- Experience with machine learning and/or data engineering.

**Desired skills**:

- Experience with small-area estimation or non-representative data (e.g., using MRP models).
- Experience with geo-spatial data.
- Experience in dealing with missing data and strategies to overcome this problem.

**What we offer**:

- Integration in a leading department of political science with highly motivated and engaged members.
- Possibility to co-author within the project and beyond.
- Possibility to independently develop a research agenda.
- Financial and academic support from the research group and department.
