Bristol, United Kingdom University of Bristol Full time

**The role**:
We have an exciting opportunity for a talented researcher with a background in molecular and genetic epidemiology to join the Integrative Cancer Epidemiology Programme (ICEP) at the University of Bristol to investigate the value added by human genetics to interrogate the causal role played by the human gut microbiome in cancer aetiology. Building on the current work of Kaitlin and her growing team, this Research Associate (Grade I) position is funded by Cancer Research UK (CRUK) as part of a Population Research Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded to Dr Kaitlin Wade. The post holder will be covering a vacant position for the remaining time of funding (until 31/12/2024 initially).

**What will you be doing?**:
Through this role, the post holder will have access to several large datasets comprising a mixture of individual-level genetic, microbiome and/or epidemiological data (e.g., the Flemish Gut Flora Project, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children and UK Biobank) and large-scale GWAS consortia of the gut microbiome (e.g., the MiBioGen consortium) and cancer risk (e.g., the Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium for colorectal cancer) to undertake the research objectives. The post holder will work closely with a large range of researchers within ICEP and international collaborators including those at the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the institution of which the post holder will have the opportunity to spend time on extended visits during the post.

You have a strong background in molecular and genetic epidemiology, medical statistics and epidemiology, with experience using statistical programming languages (such as Stata and R) and working with large-scale genetic and other ‘omic datasets. Ideally, a successful applicant will also have experience of applied statistical analyses, genome-wide association study methodology and Mendelian randomization analyses.
