Job Title: Biostatisticians Company: National Institutes of Health/National Cancer Inst Location: Rockville, MD Description: The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has openings for several positions within the Surveillance Research Program (SRP), which provides statistical expertise and sets the direction for mathematical and statistical research used in carrying out surveillance of the U.S. cancer burden. SRP manages the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, a comprehensive population-based cancer reporting system and extends the utility of this database through linkages with other key data sets. SRP also provides leadership in developing statistical methodologies appropriate for analyzing trends and for evaluating the impact of cancer control interventions as well as geographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, genetic, and health care delivery factors on the cancer burden. Statistical and mathematical modeling increases the utility of data for assessing progress in cancer control. The existing program is expanding its scope, and exciting opportunities are available. Areas of interest for the program include: 1. Using state-of- the-art methods to ensure cancer data are accurate and to detect outliers and understand their source. Methods include data mining, data visualization, and small area estimation. 2. Analysis of large and complex data sets. Population data in cancer surveillance have a complex structure that includes time and space correlations, multilevel structure, and missing data. Methods may involve spatio-temporal analysis of data, imputation techniques, and hierarchical and multi-level regression models. 3. Developing and evaluating new cancer progress measures and methods for the analysis and presentation of national cancer statistics. Examples are survival cure models, change-point models, back-calculation methods, and competing risk modeling. (See http://srab.cancer.gov/software/ ) 4. Analysis and simulation modeling to better understand and project trends in cancer data. (See http://cisnet.cancer.gov/) 5. Developing risk and prognostic prediction models for patients.
