diseases.





We are looking for a Postdoctoral Epidemiologist to work on a Wellcome funded

diverse populations. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a
programme of research that assess the associations of alcohol drinking on a
wide range of mental and physical health outcomes, investigate causal
relevance, and explore the underlying biological mechanisms, which takes
advantage of the breadth of multi-omic and phenotypic data available in large
prospective cohorts including China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) and UK Biobank
(UKB).
