Phd-student - Risk of Subsequent Cancer After Childhood Cancer
19 uur geleden
Here you can find more information about the Kremer group.
**The research project**
Nowadays, an average of 80% of childhood cancer patients can be successfully treated. Unfortunately, survivors of childhood cancer are at increased risk for health problems later in their life that need specific care. One of the most serious health problems that childhood cancer survivors can face are the development of subsequent cancers. Many gaps in knowledge on risks of and risk factors for specific type of subsequent cancers cannot be addressed with sufficient precision by individual cohorts as numbers are too low for proper statistical analyses. To fill these knowledge gaps, pooling data from well-established cohorts worldwide is crucial. This Kika-funded study aims to investigate risk factors for subsequent lung cancer, thyroid cancer, and melanoma using internationally pooled data from nearly 56,000 survivors.
**Tasks**
As a PhD-student on the project you coordinate the data collection and harmonization for an individual patient data (IPD) analysis to the risk of subsequent lung cancer, thyroid cancer, and melanoma in childhood cancer survivors with data from various international research groups. The project team includes a multidisciplinary group of scientists and medical professionals with relevant expertise.
As a PhD-student on the project, you are responsible for the set up and coordination up of this study. You will write a detailed research protocol and you will coordinate the data collection and harmonization of the data of the participating international research groups. You will manage the data files for this project, perform statistical analyses, write scientific articles about the findings, and present your findings for various target audiences. Furthermore, you will organize project group meetings with all people involved.
**Profile**
- Master’s degree with a (bio)medical scientific background
- Experience with database management and epidemiologic/analytical research
- Excellent communication skills (written and orally)
- Strong team player with a willingness to collaborate with both national and international scientists and clinicians
**Our job offer**
We offer you a stimulating PhD position in an international, multidisciplinary research setting that bridges clinical oncology, pathology, and imaging. We offer a full-time position (based on 36 hours a week). Initially, you will be offered a one-year temporary position, which will be extended to a total of four years upon satisfactory performance. Your gross monthly salary will start in FWG 45-6 with a salary of €3.523;
- gross a month for a fulltime working week (36 hours). You also receive 8,33% holiday allowance and 8,33% end-of-year bonus. The Princess Máxima Center operates according to the collective labor agreement ‘cao ziekenhuizen’.
