Work with Dr. Lindsay Morton
Dr. Lindsay Morton
The Radiation Epidemiology Branch is seeking an applicant with training in epidemiology and/or molecular epidemiology to study radiation-related health risks and/or cancer survivorship. Available study populations include individuals exposed to radiation in a number of different scenarios, from patients treated with radiotherapy for cancer to workers with occupational exposures. Projects may include analysis of data from questionnaires, electronic health records, and registries, as well as the study of somatic and germline genomics of radiation-related tumors. The successful candidate will receive training as needed in interdisciplinary sciences (e.g., radiation epidemiology and dosimetry, biostatistics, medicine, molecular epidemiology) and will be mentored to achieve their goals, progressing to greater independence during the fellowship.
The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics is a research division of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), one of the focal points for cancer research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Division is the world’s largest cancer epidemiology research group. Its renowned epidemiologists, geneticists, and biostatisticians conduct population and multidisciplinary research to discover the genetic and environmental determinants of cancer and new approaches to cancer prevention.
