Job Details

We are seeking an experienced and talented epidemiologist or genetic epidemiologist with a keen interest in cancer biology and systematic reviews and a thorough approach to their work to fill this World Cancer Research Fund funded post to investigate how dietary factors and body size can impact on prostate cancer risk.

The successful applicant will join an exciting new programme of research and will work alongside researchers funded by the Cancer Research UK (CRUK Integrative Cancer Epidemiology Programme http://www.bristol.ac.uk/social-community-medicine/projects/icep/). The researcher will design and conduct systematic reviews of epidemiological and other studies that are potentially informative about mechanistic pathways between body fatness and prostate cancer, and between vitamin D and body size. In addition suitable applicants (ie with genetic epidemiology experience) will use natural variation in genes which are involved in the synthesis, metabolism, transport and cellular uptake of dietary factors to determine whether particular nutrients are causal risk factors for prostate cancer (Mendelian randomization). 

 

For informal enquiries please contact Sarah Lewis, s.j.lewis@bristol.ac.uk
