EPIDEMIOLOGIST, INFECTIONS AND CANCER
Job Code: 0000051302 POSTED: Mar 13

Salary: Open Location: Bethesda, Maryland
Employer: National Cancer Institute Position Type: Faculty/Research
Specialty: Hematology-Oncology

Description
Tenure-Track/Tenured Investigator Position. Positions at NIH, The National Institutes of Health; www.nih.gov. The new Infections and Immunoepidemiology Branch (http://www.dceg.cancer.gov/iib) in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is recruiting for a tenure-track/tenured epidemiologist with experience and interest in the study of infectious agents and cancer risk.

Research at the IIB focuses on understanding the causes and mechanisms involved in the development of tumors linked to infectious agents and in understanding the mechanisms underlying successful immune responses as they relate to cancer risk and to successful responses to vaccination. Both infectious and host immunological factors are considered in the context of human epidemiological studies. Studies undertaken by the group are often large, international and include rich biological specimen components to permit in-depth evaluation of biological processes, including immunological and inflammatory mechanisms, involved in tumor development using state-of-the-art techniques.

The Branch houses the 7,500-woman community-based vaccine trial in Costa Rica designed to evaluate the efficacy and impact of a new HPV-16/18 virus-like particle vaccine and has an active set of studies aimed at evaluating the role of numerous infectious agents (including EBV, HIV, HPV, HTLV-1, and KHSV) and tumor sites (including cervical cancer, gastric cancer, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and oral/oropharyngeal cancers). Recent efforts have also begun to explore how the microbiome might affect immunity and long-term cancer risk.

The successful candidate will receive research support from the intramural research program of NIH for conducting innovative studies aimed at elucidating the role of infectious agents in tumor development. Applicants must have an MD and/or PhD in epidemiology or a related field, and considerable post-doctoral experience in cancer epidemiology, viral epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, microbial genomics and/or tumor immunology. A record of peer-reviewed publications in one of these fields is required. A demonstrated ability to lead complex epidemiologic investigations is highly desirable. The successful candidate should have strong analytical/quantitative skills, a good understanding of biological processes, and a demonstrated ability to collaborate across disciplines. Strong oral and written communication skills are an important requirement. Applications will be evaluated on their ability to develop a creative, independent program of epidemiological research applicable to understanding infectious determinants of cancer risk; and to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary setting.

Interested individuals should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a brief summary of research experience, accomplishments, and research interests and goals, copies of three publications or preprints, and three letters of reference to: Ms. Judy Schwadron, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, 6120 Executive Boulevard EPS/8073, Bethesda, MD 20892. Candidates should submit applications by May 30, 2008; however, the search will continue until a qualified candidate is found.

Additional information about staff and ongoing research in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics and in the Infections and Immunoepidemiology Branch is available at: http://www.dceg.cancer.gov. Prospective applicants should send e-mail inquiries to: Allan Hildesheim, PhD, Branch Chief (hildesha@exchange.nih.gov). This position is subject to a background investigation.

Location: Manhattan
JVN #: 816-08-121541
Salary Range: $58,859 - $73,871 (Full-time)
Number of Positions: 1

Job Summary:
NYC has the largest and most diverse HIV epidemic in the United States. The HIV Epidemiology and Field Services Program of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene processes >6,000 provider and 750,000 laboratory reports annually, generating more than 12,000 field investigations resulting in 4000 new diagnoses of HIV and an equal number of new diagnoses of AIDS each year. Standard case surveillance is enhanced by two important supplemental surveillance activities. In the first, a new laboratory method (STARHS'the 'Serologic Testing Algorithm for Recent HIV Seroconversion') is used to discriminate incident infection from incident diagnosis, allowing enumeration and description newly infected persons and permitting prevention planners to direct resources to hyperendemic areas. The second supplemental system is based on a NYS regulation requiring reporting of all HIV genotypic analyses. Genotype reporting began in June 2005 and in December 2006 New York City received CDC funding to participate in a national supplemental surveillance system, Variant and Resistant HIV Strains (VARHS). NYC DOHMH will match routinely reported genotypes to case records in the HIV/AIDS Reporting System (HARS) and transmit data from newly diagnosed persons receiving genotypic analysis within one year of diagnosis will be matched to HARS and securely transmitted to CDC. These data will permit NYC and CDC to track the prevalence of single-agent, multi-drug, class, and multi-class resistance in newly diagnosed individuals in various demographic, geographic and risk exposure categories.

The program seeks a City Research Scientist I to serve as the VARHS data manager. The position requires not only a strong background in standard data management and analysis but also sufficient education and experience to understand antiretroviral drug resistance, including the genetic structure of HIV, the science of reverse transcription and reproduction of HIV, and the laboratory methods used to detect genetically mediated resistance. The individual should have sufficient background in basic biology and viral genetics to grasp these concepts, to use them to align and process genetic sequences derived from various test kits, and to match and merge them with the appropriate records in HARS, STARHS, and PRF. With this background, the individual will work directly with the VARHS epidemiologist and the VARHS principal investigator to perform the following duties: background is critical for the performance of the data management, project design, protocol development, collaboration with medical providers and other bureaus within the NYC DOHMH, project administration, grant-writing, quality assurance, and preparation of datasets for epidemiological analysis. Therefore this position demands an individual with a wide range of appropriate work experience and ability to coordinate all of the complex surveillance activities. Serve as liaison with the New York State Department of Health on issues regarding the regular transmission and format of encrypted genotype data through the NYS Health Information Network (HIN). Design, implement, evaluate and monitor new data VARHS management system. Write data management manual for VARHS, ensuring that QA/QC/QI and data flow protocols are well documented and transparent. Manage clean and verify incoming data files, match to HARS records. Create integrated VARHS dataset incorporating HARS, STARHS, the Provider Report Form, and other databases and registries. Ensure ongoing data quality, including monitoring adherence to QA/QC/QI and data flow protocol, ensure incorporation of any needed corrections into all related databases. Prepare datasets for analysis and secure transmission to CDC monthly.

Responsibilities will also include:
Work closely with HARS and STARHS epidemiologists and data managers to ensure coordinated matches and coordinated data cleaning and corrections operations. Participate in coordinating VARHS component into the new HIV/AIDS registry. Assist in uploading VARHS data to eHARS when VARHS module is introduced. Supervise and train staff that will carry out data quality investigations and monitor adherence to data management protocols. Review the utility and function of the data management system on an ongoing basis, documenting problems and developing plans for enhancements or changes. Ensure that confidentiality and data security safeguards are integrated into data management protocols. Work with diverse groups of staff (e.g., data analysis, field surveillance, quality assurance, and data support staff) to identify data QA/QC issues and develop approaches for issue resolution Act as liaison with NYS and CDC on data management and data quality. Participate in all required CDC conference calls, trainings, and principal investigator meetings. Assist in preparation of data for grant reports and articles and presentations for peer-reviewed journals and conferences. Other duties as assigned to facilitate program, bureau and agency objectives.

Job Category Healthcare; Healthcare
Location Seattle, WA
Position Type Full-Time, Employee
Experience Unspecified
Date Posted November 22, 2007 (Reposted Feb 29, 2008)

Disease research is Fred Hutchinson's focus, but like many medium-sized and large employers, the center depends on a range of occupations - scientific and nonscientific - to keep the center running and the research moving forward.

With more than 2,500 employees, Fred Hutchinson offers many opportunities for professional development, increased responsibility and career advancement. The following sections provide more information about employment at Fred Hutchinson.


About the Department

The Epidemiology Program of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's Division of Public Health Sciences is currently recruiting one or more faculty at the Assistant or Associate member level (depending on qualifications), corresponding to Assistant or Associate Professor at the University of Washington, with expertise in cancer epidemiology. Depending upon the applicant's qualifications and interest, a corresponding faculty appointment at the University of Washington's Department of Epidemiology is possible; this may include teaching responsibilities in addition to mentoring graduate students and collaborative research activities.

The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is a world-renowned NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center with large and active research programs in Public Health Sciences, including Epidemiology, Prevention, Biostatistics and Biomodeling, Molecular Diagnostics and Cancer Biology. Leading programs in three additional scientific divisions (Basic Sciences, Human Biology, and Clinical Research) and a new cross-division initiative (Vaccine and Infectious Disease Institute) complement the Public Health Sciences division activities. The Epidemiology Program conducts research in a variety of areas, including studies examining lifestyle, environmental, and genetic influences on cancer risk, cancer prevention strategies, determinants of cancer prognosis, and methodologic research. The Cancer Surveillance System, a SEER-funded population-based cancer registry serving the Puget Sound area, is a valuable resource for case ascertainment for studies of etiology and prognosis. Collaborations with laboratory and clinical scientists throughout the Center, the University of Washington, and other local research institutions provide a basis for conducting interdisciplinary studies of genetic susceptibility and cancer biomarkers. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service.
