Post Doctoral Research Fellow in Genetic Epidemiology
Applications are sought for the post of Post Doctoral Research Fellow
in the Melanoma Group of the Genetic Epidemiology Division of the
CR-UK Clinical Centre at Leeds, to develop risk algorithms for
melanoma. This post is funded by a Network of Excellence (NoE)
grant, from the European Commission. The grant was obtained by the
Melanoma Genetics Consortium, GenoMEL (see www.genomel.org) to
provide administrative support for the consortium and fund a series of
research projects. The NoE will be funded from Dec 1st and this post
will be available from this date for three years.
The project on which you will work is suitable for someone with a
strong quantitative background such as a PhD in statistics or
epidemiology. The aim of the project is to use in-house and published
data to estimate the risk of melanoma associated with genetic,
phenotypic and environmental risk factors and to design a risk
algorithm for melanoma which can be translated into a web-based tool
for risk prediction for the use of clinicians and the general public.
