Glasgow United Kingdom Dentistry Epidemiology

About the Project

The research would involve descriptive/analytical epidemiological analyses exploring aspects of the disease burden and trends or risk factors or care pathways/outcomes for head and neck cancer and its subsites. Epidemiological methods would be employed on secondary analysis of a range of potential routine administrative datasets and observational studies from Scotland, UK, or globally. The project will be adapted to focus on a specific aspect of inequalities in head and neck cancer across the cancer continuum.

Complementary a mixed methods approach to understanding these data via in-depth qualitative and healthcare systems research potentially could be undertaken.

Candidates will require a strong background in statistics/epidemiology, and public health - i.e. via a Masters in Public Health.
