* Undergraduate degree in biomedical or biological sciences, population sciences, or a related field
* Interest in cancer epidemiology or population health research
* Some experience working with research or health‑related data and familiarity with statistical or programming tools (e.g. R, Python) is also desirable.
What we offer
* A dynamic and supportive research environment
* Access to state‑of‑the‑art facilities and professional development opportunities
* Collaboration with leading researchers in the field
* Competitive salary and pension
