    1. You will integrate High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS)- based measurements of EDCs, biological effects, MASLD, and disease phenotypes (Obesity, Type-2-diabetes) collected in European population studies.
    2. You will apply multivariate statistical models and AI-assisted knowledge graphs to guide the interpretation of the HRMS data.

    Your position will be nested within two large-scale European projects: EDC-MASLD and ENDOMIX .

    As a PhD student, you will publish your work's findings as papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals. These papers will form the basis of your PhD thesis. In addition to the (international) partners within the EDC projects, you will collaborate closely with PhD students within the toxicology and epidemiology groups at IRAS.
