BACKGROUND

Cures Start Here. At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, home to three Nobel laureates, interdisciplinary teams of world-renowned scientists seek new and innovative ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Fred Hutch's pioneering work in bone marrow transplantation led to the development of immunotherapy, which harnesses the power of the immune system to treat cancer with minimal side effects. An independent, nonprofit research institute based in Seattle, Fred Hutch houses the nation's first and largest cancer prevention research program, as well as the clinical coordinating center of the Women's Health Initiative and the international headquarters of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network.

Assume responsibility for analyses of epidemiological, genetic, epigenetic and gene expression data from population-based case-control studies, a population-based cohort of prostate cancer patients, and a study of high-risk hereditary prostate cancer families
Assist in the analyses of genetic/genomic/epigenomic variation in relation to prostate cancer risk and patient outcomes, including analyses of genome-wide association and linkage data, next-generation sequencing data, and genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression data
Help with development of new grants and initiation of new research projects
Perform literature reviews
Generate and summarize research findings for scientific presentations
Prepare manuscripts for publication

REQUIREMENTS

Successful applicants will have the following:

PhD in Epidemiology or related discipline
Knowledge of SAS/STATA and R/Bioconductor
