We are seeking a talented and enthusiastic postdoctoral scientist with experience and a track record in molecular epidemiology. The successful applicant will join our world‑leading and highly collaborative multi‑disciplinary team of cancer population research scientists at the University of Bristol, based within our Cancer Research UK‑funded Obesity‑related Cancer Epidemiology Programme (OCEP). Hybrid working is available: an expectation to be on campus for in‑person meetings as required.
What will you be doing? This role will be based within Work package 1: ’Biological Mechanisms’ and will investigate key mechanisms linking body‑fat distribution to cancer and examine the impact of adiposity across population subgroups (e.g. diverse ethnicities) and cancer subtypes, applying causal inference methods within large‑scale population studies. The postholder will be encouraged to develop their own research ideas within the programme; given the opportunity to contribute to teaching and postgraduate training; and will be supported in their career progression. A range of training courses are available, and we actively encourage continuing professional development within the post. Please see this link for further information on some of the courses available: Short courses | Bristol Medical School | University of Bristol.
