POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN NUTRITION AND CANCER

The Division of Epidemiology & Community Health and the Nutrition Graduate Program of the
University of Minnesota is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral training fellowship in Nutrition

supports each trainee up to three years including stipend, health care and related costs. Candidates
must have either an MD or a PhD degree, and must be either a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
Qualified and interested minority candidates are particularly sought.

The emphasis of this training program is on cross-disciplinary training, i.e., requiring trainees to be

relevant to nutrition and cancer etiology and prevention research, including population-based
studies on cancer epidemiology and etiology, laboratory-based nutritional studies in animals, clinicbased
experimental studies in human nutrition, molecular epidemiology studies of genetic and
biochemical markers on cancer susceptibility, cancer prevention and survivorship studies.
Upon successful completion, graduated trainees will be highly qualified to accept entry level
research positions in academic departments of epidemiology, preventive medicine, human nutrition,
or community health; or in public or private agencies engaged in cancer epidemiology and
prevention research, especially tailored to dietary components. In short, we train fellows in
research to pursue research careers.

Those without formal epidemiologic, statistical or nutrition training are required to take
supplemental coursework, or get an MPH in epidemiology or MS in Nutrition. The primary aim of
this training program is to develop individuals with competence in research skills in nutrition and
cancer with an emphasis in cross-disciplinary training.
The Division has a faculty of 56, including scholars in cardiology, behavioral science, biostatistics,
epidemiology, nutrition, and health education. The Nutrition Graduate Program has 53 faculty
members.

McKinsey & Company is a global management consulting firm with 82 offices in 43 countries, advising the top management of leading companies and institutions on issues of strategy, organization, technology and operations. Our mission is twofold: to help our clients make positive, lasting and substantial improvements in their performance and to build a great Firm that is able to attract, develop, excite and retain exceptional people.
 

Position Description
Senior Biostatistician/ Epidemiologist/Health Economist
 

THE GLOBAL HEALTHCARE PRACTICE
The Firm serves multiple industries and is organized around industry-specific Practices. Since 2000, our Global Healthcare Practice, which consists of 70 partners, 200 clinicians and over 500 consulting staff, has undertaken over 4,200 healthcare studies. The practice consists of two segments: a Healthcare Payor and Provider segment, which also includes the Health Systems Group, and the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Products segment.
The Healthcare Payor and Provider practice (HPP) creates new solutions to challenges facing health care organizations. We advise clients on organization, marketing, and strategy; health care reform; analysis of market trends and epidemiological data. We also help companies find ways to grow and provide strategic guidance, research, and analytical support in launching new products and services. The practice serves three types of clients: healthcare payors (i.e. private insurance companies, HMOs, NHS, etc), providers (i.e. academic medical centers, hospital systems, physicians) and health system leaders (governments) on a broad range of strategic, organizational and operations effectiveness issues.
 

Since 2002, McKinsey’s Health Systems Group (HSG) has led work related to the third segment of the HPP practice. We serve governments worldwide to help them build and improve their health systems. We have participated in major health systems reform programs in regions and countries as diverse as the UK, Scandinavia, Cyprus, Canada, US, Egypt, Singapore, the Middle East and Tanzania. We have helped them to fundamentally improve health outcomes through policy and organisational reforms that have increased access to health services, improved quality of care, and helped governments and their citizens to more effectively utilise health resources.
 

The Health Systems Institute (HSI) works to fundamentally improve health outcomes around the world by helping our clients to increase access to health services, improve quality of care, most effectively utilize health resources and deliver better patient experiences. We will do this by becoming the leading provider of meaningful and credible health systems performance information, analysis and advice to health system leaders.

- Build, maintain, and leverage a network of relationships with external healthcare data modeling experts in order to provide teams with industry/functional-specific trend expertise
