This is an exciting opportunity for a talented early career researcher in epidemiology and applied biostatistics to gain in-depth knowledge and experience in using advanced epidemiological and statistical tools to analyse large multi-omics datasets from several large-scale prospective cohorts addressing important questions in cancer aetiology and prevention. In addition, you will be passionate about translation of the research findings into practice.
A position is currently available to work on a large-scale ongoing Horizon Europe-funded project “”. This project aims to identify novel risk factors and mechanisms in the development of colorectal, pancreatic, and renal cancers. The project also entails development and implementation of cutting-edge methods for multi-omic risk prediction, and the application of these methods using data collected as a part of the Discern project.
You will contribute to the development of the epidemiological and analytical plans, conduct the data analyses, interpret results, prepare scientific reports and publications, and applications to secure external research funding.
You will work with Dr David Muller and Professors Marc Chadeau-Hyam and Marc Gunter, colleagues at Imperial College, and more broadly with a large multi-disciplinary international team of project partners. You will be part of the Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention Research Unit, a partnership between Imperial College London and the Institute for Cancer Research, which works across several aspects of cancer epidemiology, for example coordinating the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, as well as several large national and international consortia.
We are looking to appoint a dedicated research assistant with a background in epidemiology, biostatistics or other related disciplines, with strong statistical skills, and experience in cancer and/or molecular epidemiology.
