Overview
The Genetic Epidemiology Group (GEP) investigates environmental factors involved in cancer in human populations and their interaction with genetic factors, with the aim of contributing to primary prevention of cancer. These objectives are achieved through collaborative international epidemiological studies, which integrate epidemiology and genetic methods in a multidisciplinary approach. Several postdoctoral positions are immediately available to join the Group to work on several large multi-centre studies concerning the genetic epidemiology of various cancers with an emphasis on lifestyle factors and their interaction with genetic susceptibility. These include (i) several large whole genome scan studies on lung, oral and kidney cancer, (ii) family based studies ofnasopharyngeal cancer is South East Asia, and (iii) a prospective cohort study of over 100,000 adults in Russia.
This position is initially for one year with possibility of extension for one further year and is suitable for candidates who have a Ph.D. or equivalent training and a solid background in epidemiology, bioinformatics or biostatistics. The travel expenses to Lyon will also be covered. The primary working language at IARC is English.
Applicants should send a CV, including list of publications and a description of previous research experience, as well as the names and addresses of two academic referees, to :
Dr. Paul Brennan
