About this position
Postdoctoral Researcher in Pharmacoepidemiology at the Danish Cancer Institute, part of the Danish Cancer Society, in Copenhagen. The role sits within the Treatment and Cancer research group, an interdisciplinary environment combining epidemiological methods, clinical knowledge, and population-based registry data to study how medication use relates to cancer and other health outcomes.
The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to two major Nordic research programmes. REVEAL investigates menopausal hormone therapy and major health outcomes, including cancer, across four Nordic countries. WISE-Use focuses on the health effects of hormonal contraception, examining both short- and long-term outcomes, as well as the potential benefits and risks associated with different formulations and patterns of use.
The project makes use of nationwide health and prescription registries and large population-based datasets, offering the opportunity to work with uniquely rich Danish data and harmonised Nordic cohorts. The work spans the full epidemiological workflow, from study design and exposure assessment to statistical analysis, interpretation, and publication.
In this position, you will help build datasets linking medication use with health records, classify drug exposure in detail, collaborate with Nordic partners on harmonisation scripts, analyse associations between medication use and cancer risk and other outcomes, and contribute to scientific papers and presentations. The group works closely with epidemiologists, statisticians, clinicians, and international collaborators, providing a strong platform for independent and collaborative research.
The Danish Cancer Institute describes an ambitious and collaborative research setting with access to seminars, meetings, and relevant courses, and with opportunities to develop independent research questions and publications.
