Postdoctoral Epidemiologist

This role provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to a programme of research that will comprehensively investigate associations of plant-based diets with a wide range of long-term health outcomes, and assess the potential underlying mechanisms linking plant-based diets to health, leveraging different types of data (e.g. phenotypic and -omics) from the EPIC-Oxford study, the UK Biobank, and the Million Women Study.

To be considered you will hold, or be close to completion of, a PhD/DPhil in epidemiology, nutritional epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, medical statistics or another relevant subject. You will also have demonstrated understanding and experience of 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.
