This post will focus on two epidemiological research programmes within the field of maternal, paediatric and young adult health. The primary focus relates to the
internationally recognised Yorkshire Specialist Register of Cancer in Children and Young People (YSRCCYP). The other relates to maternal nutrient and hormone trajectories and childhood development. The successful candidate will carry out research and management in the applied health research fields of cancer and perinatal epidemiology, working closely with senior academic colleagues and clinical academics across the School of Medicine and Leeds Institute for Data Analytics.
Specifically, the research will focus on:
1. Long-term cancer outcomes such as mental health, cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity, and variation by socio-demographic characteristics. Effects of cancer treatment on cancer outcomes will also be investigated. Educational and social outcomes will be investigated using data linkage methods to identify how young cancer survivors compare to their peers using information available from the National Pupil Database and Department for Work and Pensions.
2. Maternal dietary exposures, thyroid hormones, and subsequent outcomes relating to the mother's wellbeing and the child's development. The work will
make use of a large established birth cohort (Born in Bradford) and a new longitudinal birth cohort (Hiba), investigating maternal and child trajectories
over the course of pregnancy and in the first few months of life. Public Health England are interested in research that will inform national guidelines in these
areas.
You will produce high quality research outputs and submit competitive grant funding applications in relation to paediatric and adolescent cancer epidemiology, maternal outcomes and childhood development. You will also deliver a small amount of research-led teaching to undergraduates and postgraduates with opportunities to supervise postgraduate research students undertaking work in childhood/adolescent cancer.
