    Beschrijving

    The Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, the Netherlands, is offering a 5-month MSc internship position in the population genetics of human communication group ). The host research group, led by Dr Beate St Pourcain, is embedded within the Language & Genetics Department at the MPI. Research within the group focuses on (i) studying the genetic basis of social communication, language and interaction in population-based and clinical cohorts and (ii) developing statistical modelling approaches.

    Job description

    In this biostatistics research internship, students will work with the Genomic-Relationship-Matrix Structural Equation Modelling (GRM-SEM) framework1,2, an R software developed by the host research group ). GRM-SEM can be used to model genomic and residual covariance structures, as captured by genome-wide data, with SEM strategies analogous to multivariate twin models. For example, our group applied GRM-SEM to study genetic relationships among language and literacy traits during different stages of development3,4 or to investigate symptom differences among autistic individuals5. However, within a study population, groups of individuals may often differ from each other and genomic structures may, thus, vary, such as, for example, between males and females. Therefore, a uniform model across all individuals may only be partially informative.

    This internship aims to develop the GRM-SEM framework further, allowing (i) the joint modelling of multiple groups within a study sample (multi-group model) and (ii) optimising current genomic and residual modelling strategies using simulations and benchmark tests.
