**Background**: A high-performing healthcare system aims to provide high-quality cancer care across the entire patient pathway, including prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment. Population-based cancer registries (PBCR) play a crucial role in monitoring the incident cases within specific populations and can detect unusual increases in cancer rates, leading to the development of hypotheses regarding potential causes within the community. Furthermore, PBCRs evaluate the effectiveness of cancer prevention and control efforts and contribute to the formulation of policies and screening programs.
**Objectives**: The upcoming 1.5-year research initiative of the study “RELIANCE: REaL-life cANCEr epidemiology research,” aims to analyze high-resolution cancer registry data and to explore linkage with other additional data sources. The primary goal is to pinpoint relevant factors to cancer prevention and care while also discerning key priorities and strategies. RELIANCE study represents an interdisciplinary and translational research project with high relevance for national policy (the National Cancer Plan (PNC2)) and international research on the use of health data to improve patient outcomes.
**Key Accountabilities**
- conduct a pilot study analysing a national cancer cohort on breast cancer and explore indicators related to clinical and health services,
- conduct statistical analyses, publish first
**Key Skills, Experience and Qualifications**
- Strong analytical and writing skills are required as evidenced by publications in international peer-reviewed journals.
- Strong quantitative skills including data analysis and management.
- Ability to work independently and to take initiative.
- Excellent time management skills and ability to prioritize tasks.
- A good understanding of cancer control policy and care pathways.
- Excellent English proficiency. French proficiency or willingness to learn French would be an asset.
- Ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
