iCANDOC is looking for doctoral researchers to work at the University of Helsinki in precision cancer medicine.
Suitable candidates have a background for example in:
- working in an iCAN flagship-associated research group and leveraging data already gathered
- translational, clinical or data science research
- use of digital tools, including AI, in health
Requirements:
- Research plan needs to be focused on iCAN flagship research areas.
- The plan includes a supervisor from the iCANDOC area. Note that the supervisors listed below have signed up as potential iCANDOC supervisors based on each supervisors own view of having a project fitting this area. Each proposal will be evaluated for thematic fit in iCANDOC following submission.
- The intersectoral mobility part of the research plan is to include a plan of collaboration with non-university partners. iCANDOC collaborates with non-university partners who are already firmly committed to offer co-supervision, training events, and secondment positions to candidates. The iCAN Flagship Project is a collaborative effort already. iCANDOC non-university partners are represented by all Finnish Cancer Center FICAN non-university participants including Helsinki University Hospital HUS in the UH call. Partners are also represented by the private sector through Pharma Industry Finland, HealthTech Finland, Finnish Bioindustries, and the Mallimaa project coordinated by Finnish Cancer Institute or directly with companies.By submitting the application the applicant agrees that the title and the summary of the research plan can be shared with companies/partners potentially interested in collaboration.
