Exciting Opportunity at MSK: The Epidemiology and Biostatistics Services is looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Genetic Epidemiology to join the team.
We are seeking highly talented and motivated candidates interested in quantitative epidemiology and radiogenomics research in breast cancer and glioma.

The fellow will play a leading role on research projects, have the chance to present research findings at national scientific meetings, develop grant writing skills and to learn from a cadre of other postdoctoral fellows and mentors.
