Opportunity to study the epidemiology of arsenic exposure in Nova Scotia
Graduate student opportunity to study the epidemiology of arsenic exposure in Nova Scotia - M.Sc. Epidemiology - Dept of Health Management, UPEI, Canada
Pending final approval, a new MSc position in epidemiology will be available for the study of arsenic levels in drinking water and body tissues in Nova Scotians, and the associated genetic damage of arsenic on the body tissues. The project is the result of collaboration among researchers from UPEI, Dalhousie U, Mt Allison U, Acadia U, Health Canada, and Equilibrium Environmental Inc.
The student will be based at the Department of Health Management at UPEI, but should expect some traveling to other areas within Atlantic Canada, with the data collection being in Nova Scotia, and collaborators coming from outside PEI. The student will be involved primarily in the epidemiological aspects of the project, so laboratory skills (eg. sample processing, QA/QC) are assets but are not essential. As part of the research, the student will be conducting face-to-face surveys with participants on their drinking water and food habits. Because of confidentiality issues with participant’s identities, the student will undergo a reliability security check.
The student is expected to develop and write a thesis, take graduate courses in epidemiology and biostatistics, and present their results at regional, national and international meetings and publish (results) in high quality journals.
Applicants are expected to have a D.V.M. or B.Sc. degree in biological sciences with courses in biostatistics and biochemistry. Enthusiasm and ability to work in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of researchers are also important. A valid driver’s license is required.
Interested students should submit: i) a letter profiling their research interests, ii) experience in community health, health geography, cellular biology, toxicology, biochemistry, biophysics, water quality assessment, epidemiology and biostatistics; ii) university transcript(s): and iii) an updated curriculum vitae. The CV should include the name and contact information for three references. The position could possibly start as early as May 2009 and is for 2 years.
Submit questions and applications to:

Milestone report on "Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention"
The World Cancer Reasearch Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research launched on the 26 February 2009 their new report on "Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention".
This landmark policy report highlights that 45% of colon cancer cases and 38% of breast cancer cases in the US are preventable through diet, physical activity and weight maintenance.
The overall message of the report, is that all sections of society need to make public health, and cancer prevention in particular, a higher priority.
As part of the evidence-based report, thought to be the most comprehensive ever published on the subject, two independent teams of scientists systematically examined the evidence for how policy changes can influence the behaviors that affect cancer risk.
Following this, a panel of 23 world-renowned experts made a total of 48 recommendations, divided between nine different but often overlapping sectors of society – called “actor groups” in the report. These actor groups are: multinational bodies; civil society organizations; government; industry; media; schools; workplaces and institutions; health and other professionals; and people.
Among the recommendations:
* Governments should require widespread walking and cycling routes to encourage physical activity.
* Industry should give a higher priority for goods and services that encourage people to be active, particularly young people.
* The food and drinks industry should make public health an explicit priority at all stages of production.
* Schools should actively encourage physical activity and provide healthy food for children.
* Schools, workplaces and institutions should not have unhealthy foods available in vending machines.
* Health professionals should take a lead in giving the public information about public health, including cancer prevention.
* People should use independent nutrition guides and food labels to make sure the food they buy for their family is healthy.

Together with the chair holder, these three persons form the nucleus of a new group on this exciting field.
The area of research and teaching for this position concerns the (neuro)biology of sensory and metabolic signals that are involved in the regulation of food choice and food intake. One of the current biggest scientific challenges for the field of sensory science and (neuro-)biology is the understanding of the representation in the brain of food perception and food reward. This understanding yields tools to develop “healthy” attractive foods. For example, within the context of a current research project we work on the identification of taste and aroma profiles that induce satiation.
