Other PhD opportunities at AAU

At Aalborg University (AAU), you can apply to become a PhD student without being employed at the University. Before applying, you must make sure that your application meets the requirements specified on the websites of the AAU Doctoral Schools.

The following other opportunities for PhD studies are available at AAU:

Self-financed PhD studies

You can apply for enrolment as a self-financed PhD student, which means that you will pay all costs connected to your studies. These costs will depend on the individual Doctoral School and PhD programme.

Industrial PhD studies

You can apply for enrolment as an industrial PhD student in cooperation with the company where you are employed and the relevant doctoral school. Your company will be responsible for applying to the Ministry of Higher Education and Science for financial support for the project. It is a requirement that you are employed in a Danish company or a Danish department of an international company.

Co-financed PhD studies

If your employer or another party is willing to finance all or part of your PhD studies, it is possible to collaborate with AAU on a PhD project, provided that the project is strategically and academically relevant for the doctoral school.

PhD assessment without programme enrolment

You can also submit material for assessment in order to obtain a PhD degree without having been enrolled in a PhD programme. This particular approach requires that your material was prepared under supervision of a qualified supervisor, and that you meet the current requirements for PhD students and additional requirements. Further information on this particular option can be required by contacting AAU PhD

PhD as a career

If you are considering research and teaching as a career path after your master's degree, it might be right for you to apply for a PhD. But what are the different options and what should you be aware of?

The Initiative’s objective is to make the full range of PhD career pathways visible, valued, and viable for all students.

For more information contact Emily Miller, Deputy Vice President for Institutional Policy

The PhD Education Initiative aims to change the culture surrounding doctoral education at AAU member institutions so that graduate education is more student-centered, placing greater emphasis and focus on students as individuals with diverse educational and professional interests, needs, and challenges.

The long-term goals of the Initiative are:

Institutional Change. Influence the culture and behavior in departments to foster increased inclusion of current and prospective doctoral students from diverse backgrounds and to provide PhD students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to succeed in careers within and beyond academia.
Data Transparency. Adopt institutional policies and practices to make PhD program data—including data about the career pathways and employment trends of their PhD alumni—widely available.
Strategies. Highlight and encourage effective university, disciplinary society, and federal agency strategies and programs.

Information about the PhD plan & The Pre-Defense

The 2 month phd plan.

The PhD plan is a crucial step in any PhD study and its importance must not be overlooked. It is a requirement that the PhD plan follows the provided template since it contains information regarding the scope and the content required in the PhD plan - link to the template at the bottom of this page. The Phd plan must be submitted through PhD manager no later than 2 months after the enrollment date.

UPDATED PHD PLAN

The updated PhD plan must ensure a feasible and realistic research approach in line with fulfilment of general rules such as course portfolio and external collaboration. The updated PhD plan requires a great deal of attention from the PhD student and supervisor and unfortunately experience shows that the updated PhD plan is often delayed. This makes it significantly harder to adjust the research strategy for the remainder of the PhD project. The pre-defense seeks to adress this issues by involving external opponents.

PRE-DEFENSE

Before the deadline for the updated PhD plan (11 months after enrolment), it should be presented (pre-defence) at a suitable meeting in the various research groups (e.g. internal research meetings). The form is a 20 min presentation followed by 20 min discussion. If it is not possible to present the PhD plan at a suitable scientific forum due to logistics, the supervisor must organize a meeting where the presentation and discussion can take place.

The supervisor appoints an internal opponent (eligible as PhD supervisor, but not directly involved in the project) with expertise within the field. The intention is not to invite externals.Based on the presentation and the written Phd plan, the opponent should challenge the PhD plan with focus on scientific content, feasibility, novelty, flow of studies, etc. Questions and comments from the participants of the meeting are also encouraged. If required, the updated PhD plan is revised accordingly.

A short written evaluation (5-10 lines) is prepared by the opponent and must accompany the updated PhD plan when it is submitted for approval to the head of the doctoral programme. A positive recommendation is a prerequisite for further processing. In case revisions are requested the PhD student also submits a cover letter describing the revisions done based on the suggestions from the opponent.

PhD student submits the PhD plan no later than after 2 months of enrollment - must be approved by supervisor and head of program via PhD manager - deadline cannot be extempted from. Updated plan is uploaded along with comments from the predefense after 11 months of enrollment - must be approved by supervisor and head of program via PhD manager.- extemption from the deadline can only be granted by the PhD Study Director.

External research stay - Information and funding

Research stay abroad.

The Doctoral School recommends that you go abroad for your external research stay/collaboration. Going abroad and putting your research into a whole different context allows you to strengthen your international network and gain new perspectives on your research.

The main purpose of the stay should be to develope and further your research, develope new ideas in a new setting and of course to expand your network. It is a requirement that you during your PhD Study have a form of external research collaboration.

WHERE TO GO AND FOR HOW LONG?

The external research stay can compose of one long stay or a combination of several short stays (minimum duration of one month if you want financial support from the Doctoral School).

Stays shorter than one month are also viable but you cannot receive financial support from the Doctoral School.

If you have questions in relation to the duration, contact your supervisors or AAU PhD. The location needs to have an active research environment - it can be both universities, organizations or other institutions.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE DOCTORAL SCHOOL

Application for financial support must be sent to the Doctoral School no later than one month prior to the travel. The applied template must be filled out and signed by all required parties.

The support covers:

Own transport (one roundtrip, cheapest way)
Tuition fees
Own expenses for food and small necessities According to the rules in the Tax Assessment Act (Ligningsloven) Section 9 A.

5.000 kr pr month with a travel length over 3 months and up to 6 months (the travel can be longer but we can only cover up to 6 months) 3.000 kr pr month with a travel length between 1-3 months When accompanied by spouse/cohabitor AND child(ren) the monthly amount for the PhD student can be increased by 1,000 DKK and 500 DKK per child.

The monthly grant is paid in advance and calculated relatively according to the whole duration of the study abroad.

The amount is paid as an advance. Therefore a final settlement with the university must take place immediately upon return (no later than 10 work days after return according to AAU’s guidelines). It is extremely important that this deadline is met in order for AAU to comply with SKAT’s guidelines for correct filing.

In some cases it is possible to obtain a tax deduction (Differencefradrag). However it is not possible to calculate this before the end of the stay abroad and final settlement with the university. If you wish to take a tax deduction (and are eligible to a deduction) the Doctoral School must be contacted.

The application for a tax deduction takes place by contacting SKAT directly bringing along the final settlement from AAU (Please do not contact SKAT before talking to the Doctoral School).

The application for financial support must follow the template and be sent to the Doctoral School ( [email protected] ) 1 month prior to the travel.

Stays with a minimum duration of 1 month can receive financial support from the Doctoral School.

Stays shorter than 1 month are approved in relation to the requirements in the ministerial order - but cannot receive financial support.

General PhD Skills (2024)

Scholarly communication in an open science perspective fall b (cph) (2024).

Through participation in this course, the PhD student acquires knowledge and understanding of the use of a number of professional online tools designed to support a career in research. The course emphasizes acquisition of both theoretical and practical knowledge about research registration, profiling and evaluation, as well as the growing focus on Open Science.

The course leans on the idea behind Scholarly Communication , which is defined by the Association of College & Research Libraries as "the system through which research and scientific publications are registered, subjected to quality assessment, disseminated to the scientific community, and preserved for future use." ( ACRL Scholarly Communications Committee2003 )

The purpose of the course is to enable PhD students to create their own sustainable strategies for publishing and disseminating research and research results, and to provide them with tools for evaluation. The course will address both traditional academic tools and introduce more recent methods.

The course specifically addresses the following topics:

Open Science/ Open Knowledge - including Open Access publishing

Scholarly Communication: What does it mean to you as a researcher?
Research registration - introduction to research registration and researcher profiles in VBN (Aalborg University's research portal) and associated systems
Researcher profiling – to strengthen the exposure of own research and research profile
Research evaluation – introduction to traditional and new methods including citations, h-index and alternative metrics
Copyright and plagiarism for PhD students with a primary focus on the thesis
The course is aimed at all PhD students, and the teachers will facilitate an interdisciplinary discussion among the participants.

Course frame

The course is an independent part of the course series offered to PhD students at Aalborg University Library. The course is announced at Plan2Learn and Moodle , where more information and course material are available. The course is available to PhD students from all Danish universities.

The course varies between presentations, exercises and plenary discussions. The exercises take place in groups where the students either discuss or do course-related hands-on assignments. In addition, there is a final test, which is assessed as "passed/failed". In order to obtain course ECTS points, your presence is required on the course day along with a “passed” final test.

The course is primarily aimed at PURE users. If you do not have access to AAU's PURE installation, you will still be able to use what you have learned when you get back to your own institution. However, there will be local differences in the options offered by the system.

The course is in English.

There is a reading list attached to the course.

Planning and teaching: The VBN Team

Course learning targets:

The course provides the PhD student with a toolbox for strategic focus on researcher profiling, including:
How to get an overview of registration and dissemination requirements for PhD research results in a scientific context. This includes the actual PhD thesis, as well as preparation of different types of publications and profiles.
How to acquire new knowledge regarding opportunities and strategies for publishing research, including Open Access.
Providing the PhD student with skills to develop communication strategies. This may include an understanding of how to work with Open Science e.g. through qualitative and quantitative metrics.

Data Management 2024 Fall

Welcome to the course – Data Management and the FAIR principles

FOR ALL FACULTIES !! TECH, ENG, SUND, AND SSH

In this course you will get a thorough introduction to the importance of a data management plan (DMP) and how to create one. Moreover, the course will introduce the FAIR principles and how to implement them in your research.

The course objective is thus to promote good research practices by helping the participant make informed choices in relation to planning and executing research processes such as data collecting, data analysis, data storing and sharing. 

  The course will be split into two workshops aimed at supporting the individual PhD student in planning the data handling that is inherent to the PhD project. 

Be aware that the course includes homework. Before the first day of teaching, 4 hours of homework is expected to get an introduction to the topics and materials, and then 15 hours of homework drafting a DMP and working on a dataset is to be expected between 1 st  and 2 nd  day of teaching. At sign-up, participants will be enrolled in both workshops, and attendance at both are required. 

Teaching day #1

PBL and Facilitations skills (2024)

Welcome to PBL and Facilitations skills (2024)

PBL (problem based, project organized learning) is the DNA for AAU and is based on a long history of experiential and experimental developments combined with a theoretical underpinning. Today, PBL is practiced all over the world, however not to the same degree as at AAU and many international PhD students have never experienced this educational model before and do not understand the learning philosophy embedded and the daily practices.

The aim of this PhD course is that the PhD students understand and reflect on the systemic PBL approach with strong institutional culture in the research work as well as in education. As part of this environment, PhD students, especially newcomers, should gain a better understanding of what PBL is, the learning principles and practices behind Aalborg PBL model, the collaborative project work, how to facilitate students’ projects and learn how to handle various problems and projects.

Interdisciplinary Research Design (2024)

For inquiries regarding registration, cancellation or waiting list, please contact the PhD administration on: [email protected]

Description: Many PhD projects at Aalborg University are ‘born interdisciplinary’. Equally, there is an increasing value attached to the interdisciplinary theme in the research funding community and public debate. Regardless hereof the tools and skills for thinking about interdisciplinary research designs has not been addressed and developed sufficiently amongst PhD students. The course is therefore motivated by this gap. It targets all PhD students with projects that are interdisciplinary either as a key feature of their initial design (‘born interdisciplinary’ ), or the ones that incrementally moves towards this as a function of an emerging awareness to the importance of an expanded research design during the process ( ‘becoming interdisciplinary’) . Next to this existing gap in interdisciplinary research skills the course is motivated by an observation made over several years, namely that different scientific disciplines only is one level of needed cross-fertilization. Another is the ability to move more effortless across different methods, either in order to triangulate, or simply because of the nature of the research question. The so-called ‘problem-based-learning’ (PBL) research model need to take an interdisciplinary approach that includes actual scientific disciplines and their theoretical and conceptual apparatuses , as well as the multitude of methods of relevance to complex and real-life research questions. Finally, the course is motivated by an interest in bringing such an increased interdisciplinary awareness and skill-development in sync with the requirements for contemporary research dissemination and communication.

Learning objectives: The main learning objective is that the PhD student becomes able to identify the relevant dimensions of interdisciplinary research design in her or his own project (either as what is there from the outset (‘born’) or what might be implemented during the research process (‘becoming’). Next, participants must be able to develop a motivated and well-argued plan for any interdisciplinary research design proposal amendments.

Key Literature: Some of the key literature within Interdisciplinary research is set as the curriculum (see below). However, given the critical and explorative nature of the course we shall also look into readings that may look less obvious, but which have the critical creative potential for stimulating new ideas and thoughts.

Biostatistics II (2024)

Welcome to Biostatistics II (2024) Description: This course on biostatistics will focus on the complexity of data collected in biomedical research. Therefore, the course will focus on topics like sample size estimation, meta-analysis and multi-factorial methods. This course will consist of two parts: (i) a review of some well-known and widely used parametric and non-parametric methods and discussions of basic designs of experimental studies, and (ii) a practical part where the focus is on applying the methods to relevant and realistic data sets collected from medical and biomedical research. The aim of the Biostatistics 2 is that you after the course will have written a full statistical report including at least parts of your data and written a preliminary result section and made a do-file in Stata (or another statistical software) for documentation of any statistical procedures that you have used. If you do not have any data to analyze, you should contact course leader, Carsten Dahl Mørch asap and describe the type of data you expect to have in your Ph.D and we will find a dataset for you to analyze. The learning goals for Biostatistics II are:

Write a statistical statistical preferably based your data
The ability to understand the assumptions and perform the following statistical tests: Multifactorial ANOVA Repeated measures ANOVA Multiple and non-linear regression Survival Analysis
Understand power and sample-size calculation (sample-size considerations), and perform then in the context of your own studies
Understand and perform meta-analyses in systematic reviews.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year.

Design and Analysis of Experiments (2024)

Welcome to Design and Analysis of Experiments (2024) Description: After a short survey of basic statistical concepts such as estimation, significance tests and confidence intervals, an introduction will be given to the analysis of designed experiments, including analysis of variance and factorial designs. The course will also cover multiple and polynomial regression. The course will be accompanied by an introduction to a dedicated statistical software package (R, see more at http://www.r-project.org ).

Prerequisites: The course assumes basic knowledge about mathematics and probability theory as obtained through the engineering courses at Aalborg University. Some knowledge about basic statistics, such as one sample estimation and test of hypotheses, will be desirable.

Textbook: John Lawson: Design and Analysis of Experiments with R, CRC Press, 2015 .

According to Deborah Worth from CRC Press there is a special price at Factum books Aalborg for the participants at this PhD course. Here is a sales LINK to the book on Factum's homepage.

The course will use exclusively R. However, there exists other software/libraries for design and analysis of experiment such as: JMP, the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox in Matlab, the python library pyDOE2.
Most of the examples in the course come from the food industry but the methods introduced may of course be used in other fields.
Active attendance in at least 9 out of 12 lectures . Lecture 0 below is not mandatory and does not count for participation in the minimum required attendance of 9 lectures . I.e. you are not required to follow lecture 0, but if you are new to R it is a good idea to attend lecture 0.
Hand in a statistical analysis done in the last two lectures (needs to be passed)

Bayesian Statistics, Simulation and Software (2024)

Welcome to Bayesian Statistics, Simulation and Software (2024) Description: During the last decades, Bayesian statistics has gained enormous popularity as an elegant and powerful computational tool to perform statistical analysis in complex stochastic models as applied in engineering, science and medicine. Bayesian statistics offers an alternative approach to traditional data analysis by including prior knowledge about the model parameters in form of a prior distribution. Using Bayes formula the prior distribution is updated from the posterior distribution by incorporating the observed data by means of the likelihood. Subsequently statistical inference about the unknown model parameters is derived from the posterior distribution. However, the posterior distribution is often intractable due to high-dimensional complex integrals implying that approximate stochastic simulation techniques such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods become crucial. This course reviews the basics ideas behind Bayesian statistics and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. Background on Markov chains will be provided and subjects such as Metropolis and Metropolis-Hastings algorithms, Gibbs sampling and output analysis will be discussed. Furthermore, graphical models will be introduced as a convenient tool to model complex dependency structures within a stochastic model. The theory will be demonstrated through different examples of applications and exercises, partly based on the software package R.

Prerequisites: Note that this will not be a "a black box approach" to the subject as there will be some mathematical abstraction which is needed in order to construct meaningful Bayesian models and simulation procedures. In principle the course is accessible to those new to these subjects, however, some mathematical training will be an advantage and a basic knowledge of statistics and probability theory as obtained through engineering studies at Aalborg University is definitely expected.

Additional information and assessment: All course material and additional information is available at the course website https://asta.math.aau.dk/course/bayes/2024/ . In particular note the assessment of the course through active participation and a hand-in exercise.

Learn How Creative Thinking can Transform your Research (2024)

The topic is creative thinking in research. It offers a deep understanding of creative thinking together with a toolbox and guidelines the student can use to make room for creative thinking and methodology in own research. The systematic use of creative thinking can be particularly helpful in the generation of new ideas, hypotheses, experimental designs and in data interpretation as well as in the communication of research.

- To get a firsthand experience with creative thinking and realize the impact it can have on your normal thinking process. - To understand that the way we think determines what we can be aware of and how we interpret our results - To understand why and how creative thinking influence knowledge production in research - To be able to think more flexibly and original, while doing research - To understand how you can integrate creative thinking in your existing research method – both in theory and in practice

The course is organized as a 2-day workshop consisting of a mix of small lectures and exercises that train creative thinking in research. The workshop will focus on getting a firsthand experience with creative thinking in relation to own scientific work.

There will also be time for reflecting upon how creative thinking can be implemented in own research process as well as collaboration with other researchers.

After the workshop, participants will have access to literature, extra materials and training exercises to continue training and development of a creative research practice, both individually and in peer groups.

Preparation for the workshop

Bring your research questions and an open mind to think and do different than you are used to. There is no redings before the workshop.

Assignment where the participant experiment with- and reflect on the use of creative thinking in own research process

AI for the people (2024)

Welcome to AI for the People

Description: The notion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) dates back approx. 70 years as a research field and even longer if one considers fiction writers. A number of different definitions of AI has been suggested over the years, but none seem to capture what AI is. This might be due to the fact that AI is about computer algorithms that behave intelligently. And since the capabilities of computer algorithms improve over time, no static definition is possible.

One aspect of AI is the ability to learn or adapt dynamically. This concept has inspired numerous Sci-fi books and movies with the underlying theme of man vs AI (often manifested in a robot). From this follows naturally ethical and regulatory considerations. But until recently, such considerations (see for example the three Robotic laws defined by the sci-fi writer I. Asimov) have been speculative since current AI algorithms (and their manifestation in mechanical devices) have performed poorly and hence never left university labs around the world. Recently, however, fast hardware and massive amount of data have allowed revisiting one particular AI algorithm invented in the 80s, namely Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and increasing the size of the networks used in these models. This was exemplified via image processing for recognizing hand-written digits and resulted in amazing results. Inspired by this success ANN (now known as Deep Learning (DL)) was quickly picked up by other research fields where similar successes have been witnessed.

DL algorithms can now outperform humans on a number of tasks. Moreover, they can, to a certain degree, learn new tasks. An important point in this regard is that the algorithm is so complex that it is next to impossible to understand its inner workings. So, we seem to be facing a reality where AI, in a not too distant future, will be used to make decisions (simply because it is of better than humans). This raises a number of ethical and regulative questions such as, for instance, 1) how we ensure that AI systems are not discriminating against certain groups in the population, 2) how do we ensure transparency about the decisions made by AI systems, and relatedly 3) could and should individuals be given a substantial right to an explanation of decisions made by such systems and a substantial right not to be subjected to automated decision-making (GDPR). Since many of the currently developed AI systems operate on the basis of large amounts of data, the development and use of such systems also reinvigorate the ethical issues related to ‘Big data’. Finally, there are problems related to the efficacy and safety of AI systems. This raises questions not only of how appropriate monitoring of the development of these systems can be secured, but also and more importantly about the appropriate domains for use.

These questions and related questions are the core focus of the PhD course on ‘AI for the people’. The aim is to raise an awareness in the participants. To this end the course will be a combination of lectures, debates and an assignment, and includes the following topics:

Introduction to AI
Ethical issues in the development and use of AI
Industry perspective on AI

Intellectual Property Rights (2024)

Welcome to Intellectual Property Rights (2023) Description: The aim of this course is to give the students an understanding of the importance of the use of patents when working within the area of science. In both public and private research and development, the strategic use of patents is becoming important knowledge. The course will have a practical approach and therefore the lecturers will primarily be professional patent agents and other professionals, who work with patents on a professional basis.a

The course will guide the students through the process of using patents as a strategic tool when the protecting of IPR is needed.

Welcome to From Research to Business (2024)

There are still available seats in the course. If you wish to enroll, please write to: [email protected]

Description : Topic, background and motivation for the course:

Today, the job market for PhD candidates is not only in public science. Most PhD candidates find employment outside the university, but too few convert their technical skills and brilliant ideas to prosperous businesses. The purpose of this course is to give PhD students an impression of what it takes to become an independent technological entrepreneur with a successful business.

The course takes a practical and kaleidoscopic approach and does not aim to cover its topics in depth but rather introduce important concepts that are present in most entrepreneurial endeavors in technology.

A range of follow-up activities is available from AAU Innovation and Open Entrepreneurship. These will be briefly presented and recommended individually during the course.

Knowing the general terminology of entrepreneurship.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.

Writing Your (Reflective and Reflexive) Methodology (2024)

Welcome to Writing Toyu (Reflective and Reflexive) Methodology 2024 Please be aware, the course is reserved mainly for participants from AAU, and external applicants will only be admitted if there are available seats in the course.

This PhD course focuses on writing your methodology chapter in a manner that is thorough, transparent, reflective, and reflexive and is intended for students using qualitative, applied, field-based, and/or action-oriented approaches. Moreover, this course takes a problem-based approach and aims to meet students’ needs in addition to covering essential elements of writing a methodology chapter (or sections in your synthesis).

Although there are courses oriented toward learning about qualitative methods and planning/crafting one’s (intended) research design, this course starts where these leave off: what to do about ‘writing up’ and explaining the considerations, choices, modes of analysis, and how you position yourself within your research.

Prerequisites:

Students should be enrolled in PhD program and at a point where they are writing their methodology (or at least a portion of it) and reflecting on what transpired in the field/during data collection. The course targets students whose PhD has not quite gone according to plan and must address a level of ‘messiness’ increasingly associated with social research and qualitative, mixed methods, field research.

Students doing qualitative or mixed method research are especially welcome in this course

1. Reflect on own methodology from conceptualization to actualization 2. Understand what makes for a ‘good’ methodology chapter for your discipline/epistemological approach 3. Recognize differences in methodological ‘standards’ for quantitative versus qualitative research (including mixed methods variations) 4. Improve writing on methods and methodology in terms of transparency, positionality, and other considerations relevant to your approach

This course will run in a workshop style and orient toward the problems/challenges facing enrolled students in writing up their methodology chapters/sections. There will be some introductory lectures and discussions based on course readings, but we will focus on ‘writing up’ and thus students will be expected to provide drafts for peer review and critique from the instructor and course participants.

Course plan/design:

1st encounter (3-4 October 2024): 2 days of lectures/discussion/exercises and getting to know one another and the methodological challenges to be addressed.

1 month interim (October 2024): time for writing your draft, exchanging drafts, and preparing for the workshop

2nd encounter (6-7 November 2024): 2 days of methodology workshop

Post course (±1 month deadline): complete peer review

Active participation in the course including brief presentation of ‘methodology challenge you wish to tackle’; high-quality, peer review completed; submitted draft of methodology chapter/section after workshop, submitted by TBA to [email protected]

The development of eScience and Data Science across research fields means many researchers have to spend a significant amount of time at their computers. As a consequence, we need to ensure that our skill set and toolbox is up to date and that we can accurately, effectively and in a research-wise justifiable manner conduct our research with a computer.

Who is this course for?

If you in your daily work do any of these:

· Process data on a computer

· Adapt code and scripts from colleagues or peers

· Write code/scripts used by you, your colleagues or peers

then this course is for you. However, this is not a programming course.

Are you looking for a course on a specific programming language?

Check out the following courses:

· Scientific Computing using Python - 1. Python + Scientific Computing

· Scientific Computing using Python - High Performance Computing In Python

· Data Science Using R

In this course you will learn the practical skills and craftsmanship to increase your day-to-day research productivity and be able to use and/or produce scientific software with a high degree of compliance to modern research standards. After the completion of the course you should

· have knowledge and understanding of collaboration practices in writing program code and managing data to ensure high quality scientific research and development

· be able to with confidence assess and utilise IT work environments for scientific research and development projects

· be able to apply current software development principles in development of program code and computational scripts for the use in scientific research

In more common terms you will learn to e.g.:

· apply the widely used commandline interface/shell bash in your daily work.

· apply the widely used version control system Git in your daily work.

· understand concepts related to computational reproducibility and data management.

Hands-on interactive three-day event with participatory live-coding, demos and presentations. The participants are encouraged to follow and run the same examples as shown during the course. The workshop will contain several smaller practical 5-10 minutes exercises and breaks.

Course structure

1. Day:

§ Introduction: why are we here?

§ Work in practice: what IT resources are available to me?

§ Get efficient with the command line interface (shells: MacOS(zsh), Linux(bash) - Windows users will use a Linux environment)

§ Basic version control: Git and what you need for your everyday work

2. Day:

§ Code smart: software development principles to live by

§ Be smart: using automatic testing (with examples in Matlab, R and Python)

§ Work smart: instead of (re)writing code use scripts to combine existing rutines to produce the output you need

3. Day:

§ Advanced version control: Git as a platform for collaboration

§ Show off your examples with Jupyter notebook

§ Get more out of your code: Computational Reproducibility

§ Get more out of your data: FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability).

We will not teach a specific programming language and will try to keep the presented material as language-independent as possible.

This is not a programming course.

Prerequisites

· You will need to bring a laptop with Windows / OS X / Linux.

· You know the basics of a least one programming language.

· You can navigate your computer, locate files etc.

· Read Wilson et. al. “Good enough practices in scientific computing” and start thinking about the presented ideas and to what extent it can be adapted in your work.

We expect that:

· You actively participate and work on the examples and exercises.

· You talk to your neighbors and help each other.

· Ask for help if both you and your neighbors are stuck.

Course project

The course project will contain several elements from the course. Participants are presented with a default project, or can take on a project based on their existing work if they find this option suitable. The project will require additional work following the three course days.

ECTS: 2: Participants attending at least 80% of the course and submitting an acceptable course project receive credits.

Biostatistics I (2024)

Welcome to Biostatistics I (2024)

Description: This is a basic course in statistics, and it focuses on the application of statistics to describe and analyze data (i.e., descriptive, and inferential statistics). The course will use different examples from e.g., medicine, biology, and biomedical engineering and focus on the application of statistics to describe data and test hypotheses, and less so on the underlying mathematical calculations.

The examples during the course will be based on different research designs that are commonly used across different research field. To ensure that we make it as specific as possible for your specific Ph.D.-project, you will work with your own statistical analysis plan (SAP) throughout the course. First you will work in smaller groups on your SAP together with colleagues working with similar research projects, next you will get feedback on your SAP, and then you will present your SAP and receive feedback from a larger group.

This course will consist of four parts: (i) relevant description and presentation of data pending your data type (ii) a review of some well-known and widely used parametric and non-parametric methods and discussions of basic designs of experimental studies, (iii) application of the statistical methods for hypothesis testing, and (iiii) developing a statistical analysis plan (SAP) for your research project. The learning goals for Biostatistics I are:

Write a draft of a SAP for your own research project.
The ability to understand the assumptions and perform the following statistical tests: - Descriptive statistic - Probability distributions - Estimation - Hypothesis testing - parametric tests - Non-parametric tests - One-way ANOVA - Cross-tabulations - Regression and correlation
