Descrierea postului vacant
Are you interested in epidemiological data-analyses? Do you want to work with a large dataset of 14 000 children? Then this internship would suit you.
Dairy is a basic food product, rich in essential nutrients. To ensure nutritional quality of the different dairy (based) products, FrieslandCampina has developed nutritional standards for the amounts of e.g. protein, calcium, sugar, and salt. What would be the nutritional gain if all products would meet the FrieslandCampina nutritional standards? Currently the impact of FrieslandCampina’s nutritional standards on population level is not clear. Aim of this internship is to calculate this impact of FrieslandCampina’s nutritional standard on population level for South East Asian markets, by analyzing the SEANUTS II data.
You will be responsible for:
- Making a research proposal and analyses plan
- Align the research proposal with internal stakeholders
- Preparing the dataset
- Conducting analyses
