Job Details

The goal of this project is to evaluate malignant neoplasms in the 18 cities belonging to the Barretos RHD, São Paulo. This will be an ecological time trend population-based umbrella study that was designed in six tasks.

Task 1: In order to improve the completeness of the information in the RCBP-Barretos database, the intention is to request the probabilistic and deterministic linkage process with the database of deaths of the State of São Paulo belonging to the SEADE Foundation. This process will also allow for the possibility of identifying deaths that occurred in the State of São Paulo, from patients who used to reside in the 18 target cities of this study but could not have been identified in other reporting sources.

Task 2: An evaluation of the quality of cancer occurrence information retrieved according to IARC criteria will be performed.

Task 3: Gross, age-specific and standardized rates of incidence and mortality per 100,000 men and women will be calculated by tumor location.

Task 4: The annual percentage change in incidence and mortality rates by tumor location will be determined.

Task 5: Survival analyzes by tumor location will be performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Task 6: Maps will be created and spatial patterns will be evaluated by calculating the Global Moran’s Index by location of the tumor. We are looking for a candidate with proven previous research experience in the area of cancer registration and / or epidemiology and / or public health and who has previous publications in the area.

This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationalities. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP’s Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of BRL 7,174.80 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 15% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent in items directly related to the research activity.
