The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer
(EORTC) is an international non profit organization whose aims are to
promote and co-ordinate clinical cancer research in Europe. The ultimate
goal of the EORTC is to improve the standard of cancer treatment by
facilitating the translation of scientific discoveries into
state-of-the-art treatment. These aims are achieved through the
multinational multidisciplinary efforts of scientists, clinicians and
social scientists across Europe.

The position involves the chance to use innovative approaches
for the analysis of heath related quality of life data from oncology
