Postdoctoral Epidemiologist

**_This is a re-advertisement. Previous Applicants need not apply_**





Oxford Population Health (Nuffield Department of Population Health) contains
world-renowned population health research groups and provides an excellent
environment for multi-disciplinary research and teaching.





We are seeking a postdoctoral epidemiologist with experience of
epidemiological data analyses to join our team in the Cancer Epidemiology
Unit. You will be joining our collaborative research team of epidemiologists
and statisticians, conducting innovative epidemiological research on risk
factors for non-communicable diseases based on large prospective cohort
studies and consortia.





The main focus of the project are to assess how dietary proteins and
associated indicators, including circulating proteins found in the blood, may
influence the development of common age-related diseases such as different
subtypes of stroke, hip fractures and vascular dementia, with the aim to
identify future prevention and treatment strategies.





To be considered you will hold (or be close to completion of) a PhD in
epidemiology, nutritional epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, medical
statistics or other relevant subject. You will also have an excellent
understanding of statistical analysis of biomarker data and a range of
epidemiological and statistical concepts and techniques (e.g. prospective and
cross-sectional study designs, and linear, logistic and Cox regression
models). Experience of analysing dietary exposures or biomarkers, particularly
omics data, in relation to risk of non-communicable diseases would be
desirable.





The post is full-time (although part-time is considered) and fixed term for 3
years. The closing date for applications is noon on Wednesday, 5 June 2024. We
would like the successful candidate to start as soon as possible (within 6
months).





**You will be required to upload a CV and a cover letter as part of your
online application. The cover letter should clearly describe how you meet each
of the selection criteria listed in the job description.**
