Do you have training in epidemiology or biostatistics? Consider this opportunity to work on an interdisciplinary team led by Dr. Hormuzd Katki. Dr. Katki is a senior investigator in the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) Biostatistics Branch.
Epidemiologic research you might do in this role includes:
- developing new individualized prediction models for cancer screening and understanding how they impact algorithmic fairness and screening guidelines.
- quantifying socioeconomic and racial/ethnic/gender disparities in cancer risk and screening.
- using diagnostic tests and artificial intelligence algorithms in cancer screening.
Biostatistical research you might do in this role includes researching:
- casual inferential approaches to cancer screening and health disparities.
- methods of using data from surveys and electronic health records to improve external validity of cohort and trial analyses.
- methods for cancer screening trials for multicancer early detection tests.
To apply, email a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names of three references to Dr. Katki.
