London, Greater London, United Kingdom Imperial College London Full time
Exciting Research Opportunity in Cancer Epidemiology

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on a Cancer Research UK-funded project to identify molecular mechanisms linking adiposity to pancreatic cancer risk.

You will apply genetic epidemiological approaches, including Mendelian randomization and colocalization, to understand key molecular intermediates linking excess adiposity to pancreatic cancer risk across diverse cohort studies.

You will be based at the School of Public Health at Imperial College London and work with a broader team of researchers based at the Universities of Bristol and Oxford and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). This post also provides the opportunity to conduct a research visit at IARC in Lyon, France.

You will be expected to manage research projects, work independently and collaboratively with an international research team, and have evidence of excellent writing skills, including authorship of peer-reviewed journals.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Plan and conduct analyses for the project under the supervision of your line manager and with regular contact with other collaborators.
  • Present findings to colleagues internally and submit findings to conferences and peer-reviewed journals.
  • Contribute to the supervision of postgraduate students and undergraduate research projects.

Requirements:

  • Hold a PhD in Epidemiology, Data Science, Medical Statistics, or a closely related discipline.
  • Have experience of statistical analysis of big data and/or health data and a record of prior publications in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Prior experience using genetic and/or molecular epidemiological methods and strong coding skills are highly desirable.

This is a full-time and fixed-term (3 years) role based at the White City Campus. Hybrid working may be considered for this role.

Informal enquiries regarding the post can be sent to Dr James Yarmolinsky.

Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as a Research Assistant within the salary range £41,694 - £44,888 per annum.
