Job DescriptionYou will conduct quantitative research on risk factors and trends in lung cancer across the EU. Your findings will be published in scientific journals and contribute to an online tool that helps EU member states assess their expected lung cancer burden and the potential impact of implementing screening programs. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Europe, causing over 200,000 deaths annually. Mortality can be reduced by promoting smoking cessation and, increasingly, by early detection through screening programs.
Many European countries do not yet have such programs, and both their potential benefits and required resources remain unclear. As smoking rates decline, it becomes essential to quantify the role of non-tobacco risk factors such as radon exposure, occupational hazards, and outdoor air pollution. As Part Of An EU-funded Project, You WillAnalyse EU-wide health survey data and perform large-scale microsimulation modelling. Forecast high-risk populations in each member state. Collaborate with partners across Europe to develop evidence-based tools for policy decision-making. Present research at international conferences and publish results in peer-reviewed journals.
Contribute to other EU initiatives, including lung cancer screening implementation support and the EUCanScreen project.
