About this position
Tampere University invites applications for a doctoral researcher position in occupational cancer epidemiology within the NordExCan project, “The Nordic Occupational Exposome and Cancer: Decades of Change, Mixtures, and Inequalities.” The research is based in the Health Sciences Unit and connected with Tampere University's multidisciplinary population health and doctoral research environment.
Led by Principal Investigator Dr. Subas Neupane, the project examines how occupational exposures change across working life and how individual and combined exposures relate to cancer incidence, mortality, and health inequalities in the Nordic countries. It draws on the Nordic Occupational Cancer cohort, Nordic job-exposure matrices, occupational histories, and population and cancer registry data from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland.
The doctoral researcher will mainly contribute to Work Package 1, focusing on occupational exposure histories and their associations with cancer incidence. The work includes harmonising occupational and registry data, estimating cumulative and time-varying exposures, and analysing exposure mixtures and changes in exposure over the life course. Epidemiological and statistical methods will be used to investigate cancer risks, including differences by sex and socioeconomic position.
Depending on project needs, the researcher may also contribute to studies of rare cancers, cancer survival, and causal pathways. The position offers the opportunity to develop a doctoral dissertation, publish in scientific journals, present findings at conferences, and collaborate with a Nordic research team. Research will use registry data in secure environments and emphasise reproducible statistical methods.
The researcher will work within Tampere University's Health Sciences Unit and may engage with doctoral programmes in Health Sciences, Epidemiology and Public Health, or Medicine. The position is based primarily in Tampere, supporting interdisciplinary research across population health, epidemiology, biostatistics, and related health sciences.

Fixed-term employment for three years starting in January 2027, with a six-month trial period. Salary follows the University Salary System at doctoral researcher levels 2–4, with an additional qualification- and experience-based portion; the typical starting salary is approximately €2,800 per month. Staff benefits include occupational health care, flexible working hours, and campus sports facilities.
What's required
A Master's degree in epidemiology, public health, biostatistics, health sciences, data science, or a related field is required. The selected candidate must meet Tampere University's admission requirements for a relevant doctoral programme. Proof of English proficiency, such as IELTS or TOEFL scores, may be required according to university admission rules. Applicants should have an interest in occupational and cancer epidemiology, good quantitative research and statistical analysis skills, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Good written and spoken English is required. Experience with statistical programming, particularly R, and large-scale registry or longitudinal data is advantageous. Experience in exposure assessment, survival analysis, or other epidemiological methods is valuable; familiarity with job-exposure matrices, time-varying exposures, multilevel models, or causal inference is beneficial but not required. Nordic registry data experience is not required.
How to apply
Submit an application through the Tampere University online recruitment system by 15 November 2026 at 23:59 EET/UTC+2. Attach a brief CV of up to three pages including publications, a one-page motivation letter, degree certificates and transcripts, and a brief description of previous research experience such as a master's thesis.
