PhD position at Division of Molecular Genetic Epidemiology, German Cancer Research Center
Applications are invited for a
PhD position
at Division of Molecular Genetic Epidemiology,
Funding source: Tumorzentrum Heidelberg/Mannheim
Duration: as soon as possible until 31.12.2010
Supervisor: PD Dr Rajiv Kumar
Research work will involve a specific area of cancer genetics leading to
doctoral thesis. The study will include an investigation of genetic variants
involved in the susceptibility of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
identified by genome wide analysis using SNP microarrays. The basis of
project is to identify predisposing genetic factors and role of such genetic
factors in the disease outcome. The project will involve the use of Hap-
Map data to identify haplotypes and tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms
to capture maximum information about the involvement of
haplotypes in risk modulation of the disease. The research work will
involve use of bioinformatics, biostatistics and extensive laboratory work.
The project is being carried out collaboration with Prof. Dr. C. R. Bartram,
guaranteed for three years.
The required qualifications are diploma in biology or related field; background
in molecular biology and genetics and knowledge of biostatistics
is desirable.
The interested candidates can contact:
