Position Description
The Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch (OEEB) is seeking a postdoctoral fellow with an interest in occupational exposure assessment approaches in cancer epidemiology studies. This fellowship is under the mentorship of Melissa C. Friesen, PhD (bio).
The studies of occupation-related risk carried out by OEEB include retrospective assessment of historical exposures, through industry and questionnaire-based evaluations in case-control and cohort studies, and on-site evaluation of exposures through air, dermal and biological monitoring.
OEEB studies are international in scope and cover a wide range of occupational exposures, such as pesticides, bioaerosols (e.g., endotoxin, glucan), solvents (e.g., benzene, trichloroethylene), diesel exhaust, and metals.
