About PRiCAN

PRiCAN (Primary Care Research into Cancer) is a multidisciplinary research team aimed at enhancing early cancer detection, diagnosis, and outcomes in primary care settings. Beyond the immediate project, you will be part of a broader program of research in primary care and cancer, with opportunities to contribute to trials, observational studies, and multidisciplinary initiatives.

About the Project

This position is funded by a grant to advance lung cancer early detection, treatment and the provision of integrated services to cancer patients through five distinct projects or "pillars." The data coordinator will assist in delivering Pillar 1 and Pillar 4 of the grant.

Pillar 1 of the Irish Cancer Society-funded Lung Cancer Research Programme consists of a Lung Cancer Screening Pilot. The aim is to demonstrate feasibility of mobile CT for lung cancer early detection to:

  1. Reduce lung cancer mortality and improve one- and five-year survival rates in patients with lung cancer through a 'Lung Health Check' pilot program, delivered in a high-risk population of patients
  2. Improve Lung cancer Early Detection uptake in at risk population using community-based screening
  3. Reduce cancer incidence and tobacco dependency through smoking cessation and health promotion programs delivered as part of an early detection 'lung health check' in a high-risk catchment area.
  4. Identify breath and blood-based biomarkers of lung cancer in a high-risk population

Pillar 4 of the programme consists of a "lung cancer in primary care" workstream, comprising four broad work packages:

WP1: To evaluate the feasibility and demonstrate the validity of using routine primary care records for lung cancer research

WP2: To build a model which predicts lung cancer using primary care data

WP3: To describe the epidemiology of the patient cohorts at each step in the lung cancer continuum

WP4: To examine the acceptability of personalised lung cancer screening

Opportunities for Career Development

We are committed to supporting the long-term career progression of our team. Candidates will be encouraged and guided to apply for PhD opportunities to extend their research or the opportunity to progress their career with healthcare providers and industry partners.

  • Build your academic publication record through collaborative research targeting high-impact journals.
  • Contribute to PRiCAN's diverse research portfolio while developing skills in data governance, data analysis, and health research data management.
