The Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics conducts research in epidemiology and biostatistics across a broad range of areas within biomedical science. The department is among the largest of its type in Europe and has especially strong research profiles in psychiatric, cancer, reproductive, pediatric, pharmaco, genetic, and geriatric epidemiology, eating disorders, precision medicine, and biostatistics.
Part of the success of our department is due to our collaborative spirit where one factor is that researchers at the Department share and co-finance common resources (e.g., IT and an applied biostatistics group). The department is situated at campus Solna. Further information can be found at http://ki.se/en/meb
The position is part of the strategic effort in e-science (Swedish e-Science Research Center; http://www.e-science.se/), specifically the project eCPC (e-science for Cancer Prevention and Control; http://e-science.se/community/eCPC) at MEB, KI. Collaboration with the Linné Centre for Prevention of Breast and Prostate Cancer, CRisP (http://crispcenter.org/) at KI and with the SciLifeLab is vital. The main focus of the project is SNP identification, tumour DNA sequencing, clinical sequencing of several different cancers and data integration and development of clinical diagnostics.
