The Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics is among the largest departments of epidemiology in Europe with special focus on increasing our knowledge of the aetiology for different diseases. Our department consists of researchers, doctoral students, biostatisticians, data collectors and database administrators as well as administrative personnel, in total approximately some 250 staff. The department is situated in campus Solna. Further information can be found at www.ki.se/meb

The breast cancer research group currently comprises 3 senior and 3 junior researchers as well as 6 PhD students. Several large case-control and cohort cancer populations are available with collected biological samples (blood, tumor) and complete information about clinical characteristics and disease progression. The research is performed in an interdisciplinary setting with strong collaboration with clinical departments and other national and international research groups.

Our research aims at acquiring a comprehensive picture of breast cancer prognosis. There are both host (patient) and tumor characteristics that define breast cancer prognosis, as well as treatment response and complications. Therefore our aim is to study both patient and tumor determinants of breast cancer prognosis. There are a vast number of auxiliary projects ongoing. To mention some; understanding of interval breast cancers, the mammographic texture associated with breast cancer subtype, identification of circulating tumor DNA, identifying genetic variation associated with prognosis of breast cancer, studies on long-term health outcomes in breast cancer patients.

A person is eligible for a postdoc position if he or she has obtained a PhD no more than seven years before the last date of employment as postdoc.

Applicants should have a PhD degree in epidemiology or biostatistics, preferentially in genetic and/or molecular epidemiology. The applicant should be skilled in advanced multivariate statistical analysis and have ample experience with publishing English research articles. Interest in breast cancer research is a prerequisite and basic knowledge of this research field is an advantage. Previous experience in genome wide association studies and bioinformatics analysis of genetic data is an advantage.

Appointment will be for 2 years, with a possible extension after evaluation.
