About us

The Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology – BIPS develops effective strategies for the prevention of chronic, non-communicable diseases. Supporting a healthy life-course early on is our primary goal. The focus of our research is therefore on factors beyond individual diseases, such as lifestyle and environment, biological and social factors, as well as early detection of diseases and drug safety. Our research spectrum covers methodological development, the identification of the causes of diseases, and intervention and implementation research.

The Department of Statistical Methods in Epidemiology and the Data Science unit at BIPS contribute to a wide range of epidemiological research projects. Our work includes the analysis of cohort and other primary data, such as nutrition, physical activity, genetic and molecular data, as well as their combination with secondary data, including spatial exposure data.

Our research spans statistical methods for epidemiology, causal inference, interpretable machine learning and federated data analysis. We also support the quality assurance and monitoring of the upcoming field survey in the IDEFICS/I.Family cohort study.

Your tasks

As a student research assistant, you will support our teams in their research activities. Depending on the project, your tasks may include:

• Supporting the preparation, quality assessment and monitoring of study data
• Assisting with the organization and analysis of epidemiological data
