The University of Bristol have an exciting new opportunity for a talented researcher to join the CRUK Integrative Cancer Epidemiology Programme (ICEP) on a project entitled “Towards improved causal evidence and enhanced prediction of cancer risk and survival” at the University of Bristol to work on smoking cessation in relation to cancer risk and progression.
The postholder will be responsible for designing, planning, executing and disseminating Mendelian Randomization analyses to:
i) evaluate the effects of nicotine and non-nicotine constituents of smoking on cancer incidence and cancer progression, and
ii) evaluate the effect of stopping smoking on cancer progression.
They will also conduct work integrating DNA methylation to investigate the potential health effects of e-cigarette use and for predicting future risk of cancer.
