The Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics has openings for up

epidemiologic theory, modern biology and biostatistics, and to pursue
cutting edge research. The positions are for 1-4 years.

Twin Register, several large prospective studies, ongoing nation wide
case-control studies, large nation wide databases including the cancer
register and in-patient discharge register, record linkage capabilities and
access to clinical data as well as biologic material - are effectively
explored at the Department. Further information can be found at
