Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Applications for this vacancy closed on 20 November 2024 at 12:00PM
An enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher looking to develop an independent
research career is required for a cutting-edge program of research working
with large complex datasets at the interface of data science, genetics,
epidemiology and fluid biomarkers. The position will primarily involve
integrated analysis of complex datasets including wearables, clinical and
fluid biomarker data in order to identify factors that are predictive of the
development of the neurodegenerative diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with the intention of identifying
factors that could be used for long term monitoring and prediction of the
onset of symptoms.
The project will involve analysing data UK Biobank and from a cohort of
individuals at elevated risk of developing ALS FTD due to carrying disease-
causing genetic variants, specifically relating to blood biomarkers, cognitive
function and wrist-worn accelerometry data. The post holder will be
responsible for acquiring data, data preparation, carrying out analysis,
presenting findings and preparing publications. In addition, the post involves
oversight of data acquisition and data quality. The project is a collaboration
between the Oxford MND Centre, University of Oxford Big Data Institute and
University College London funded by the MND Translational Accelerator.
The post would be ideally suited to someone proactive and ambitious who has
obtained their PhD and is planning an academic career in data science, medical
statistics, or epidemiology. The post holder will provide guidance to junior
members of the research group including research assistants and PhD students
and will contribute to other projects within the Oxford MND Centre.
Please see the below 'Job Description' for further details on the
responsibilities and selection criteria, as well as further information about
the university and how to apply.
**The post is full time, although part time at a minimum of 0.8 FTE may be
considered, for a fixed term until 31st October 2026 in the first instance.**
**Only applications received before 12.00 midday on Wednesday 20th November
will be considered.**
**Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter. **
