A Postdoctoral Opportunity is available at the International Agency for Research on Cancer, World Health Organization within the SECTION OF GENETICS / GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY GROUP.
Tasks / responsibilities: The Genetic Epidemiology Group (GEP) investigates lifestyle and genetic factors involved in cancer in diverse populations, with the aim of contributing to primary prevention of cancer.
These objectives are achieved through collaborative international epidemiological and genomic studies, which integrate large scale epidemiology studies and high throughput genomic methods in a multidisciplinary approach (e.g., genome-wide association studies, whole genome sequencing, and serological biomarkers).
