The Child and Adolescent Health Research Group, headed by Prof. Dr. med. Claudia Kuehni, conducts population-based and clinical studies in child health, with a focus on childhood cancer and respiratory disorders.

Most children diagnosed with cancer can be cured nowadays, but the intensive treatments cause health problems in many childhood cancer survivors. The Swiss Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (SCCSS) is a broad research program on long-term somatic and psychosocial outcomes of childhood cancer, with national studies and several international collaborations. We look for an experienced research fellow or epidemiologist, who will be responsible for the project management of the SCCSS and oversee the data collection in childhood cancer survivors.

- Oversee the study databases, prepare datasets for collaborative national and international studies
- Communicate with stakeholders including clinicians, patient organizations, participants, etc.
- Analyze data, write publications for peer-reviewed journals and present results at conferences
- Support nested clinical projects in the childhood cancer research group

**Requirements**:

- PhD, MD or MSc in public health, epidemiology, paediatrics, or a related field.

- Experience in working with study databases and data management for research purposes
