A statistician or epidemiologist is required for a novel project to identify
people at high genetic risk of cancer. This project is based at the
Thames Cancer Registry, which collects information and data on all cases of
cancer occurring in South East England.
This project will identify all individuals registered in the Thames
Cancer Registry with more than one primary cancer. Epidemiological analysis
will identify pairs of cancer sites with a more frequent clustering than
expected, which suggests a genetic etiology.
A copy of the advertisement, which appeared in the New Scientist last week
(18.9.98) is below. Please reply to the advertisement as suggested, and
not to me, as I will not be in the office again until after the closing
date.
