<div> <p></p><div>We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Germline Genomics laboratory led by Dr Anjali Hinch at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford. The laboratory uses a combination of statistical, computational, and experimental approaches to understand how processes in our cells lead to changes in their DNA. These changes include errors (mutations) or shuffling up of chromosomes (recombination) in human eggs and sperm, which lead to genetic alterations that may be inherited by future generations.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>We investigate the mechanisms underlying these changes and their impacts on our health and the evolution of species. Furthermore, we leverage them to understand how mutations arise in cancers. For example, in our work published recently in <em>Science</em>, we show that many mutations, a much higher number than previously thought, are the result of deliberate self-induced damage in our cells. This leads to mutations in 1 in 4 sperm and 1 in 12 eggs and increases the risk of many diseases, including developmental disorders and cancer.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>In this role, you will work on the development of statistical models and machine learning algorithms and their application to large-scale datasets of human genetic variation, chromatin and epigenetic maps, protein binding data, and disease traits.  You will lead your research and have opportunities for international collaborations and for presenting your work at international conferences and workshops.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>The successful candidate should hold, or be close to completion of, a PhD/DPhil in a quantitative discipline, for example statistics, applied mathematics, physics, or computer science. You should have experience in developing and applying statistical methods and in programming. Experience in analysing high-dimensional datasets is highly desirable. You should have a strong interest in biological problems, genetics and/or genomics, but previous experience is not required.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>For further information about the position or the project, please see our website <a rel="nofollow" href="https://germlinegenomics.web.ox.ac.uk/">https://germlinegenomics.web.ox.ac.uk/</a>.  Informal enquiries can be sent to Dr Anjali Hinch at <a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:anjali.hinch@path.ox.ac.uk">anjali.hinch@path.ox.ac.uk</a>.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>The post is available as a fixed-term contract for 2 years, with possibility of extension.

<div> <p></p><div>We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Senior Research Associate in Multiphysics Modelling of Brain Health, to work within the recently established Podium Institute for Sports Medicine at the University of Oxford. The Podium Institute sits within the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBME) in the University’s Department of Engineering Science and is supported by a £25m 10-year donation to the University. This full-time post is initially fixed term for 1 year and potentially extendable for a further 2 years, subject to funding. The postholder will work under the supervision of Professor Johannes Weickenmeier.  </div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>You will be part of an interdisciplinary team of pioneering researchers, with the primary aim to understand the impact of age, trauma, and neurodegenerative diseases on the brain’s unique form and function. We pose that brain shape changes result from continuously evolving microstructure that may be affected by neurodevelopment, age, degeneration, and injury. We seek to uncover fundamental mechanisms of healthy and accelerated brain aging by coupling neurobiology and mechanics to create multiphysics-informed predictive models of the brain. Specifically, our approach combines finite element modelling, mechanical characterization of brain tissues, and medical image analysis. The group’s long-term vision is to impact clinical practice by identifying characteristic manifestations of age, trauma, and disease on the brain’s form and function.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>You will be expected to your time to the field of Brain Health Across the Lifecycle. Examples of areas of research are: i) identify physiological manifestations and physics-based biomarkers that allow to differentiate between healthy and accelerated brain aging; ii) characterize evolving brain shape changes during childhood and adolescence; iii) study the potential relationship between exposure to head impacts and the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and related dementias later in life ; iv) model the degeneration of cortical tissues during aging; v) utilize longitudinal medical image data to infer brain aging mechanisms.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>You will hold a relevant PhD/DPhil with post-qualification experience in the field of mechanical or biomedical engineering, applied mathematics, or another field relevant to the proposed area of research. You will also have proven experience in data-driven multiphysics modelling and fluency in Python, MATLAB and/or C/C++.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>You will help creating a healthy and vibrant research environment within The Podium Institute for Sports Medicine at the University of Oxford. This will involve leading, devising, coordinating, and supervising research projects in this area, including the work involved in the collaborations with project partners, guidance to researchers and students, continuously writing papers, and applying for further funding to underpin the research.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>Informal enquiries may be addressed to katherine.baysan@eng.ox.ac.uk.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>For more information about working at the Department, see  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk/about/work-with-us/">www.eng.ox.ac.uk/about/work-with-us/</a></div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>Only online applications received before midday on <strong>2 August 2024</strong> can be considered.

You will undertake research on in situ studies of the interactions between cyclic load and temperature (up to 1000°C) in nuclear graphite, which will support non-linear finite element modelling of the performance of reactor core components in high temperature reactors.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>With a background in high temperature testing of materials, you will be self-motivated, able to plan and deliver a research project. You will have a PhD (or be near completion) in related topics and experience in synchrotron X-ray diffraction and digital image correlation.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>This position is available immediately and is fixed-term until 13 January 2025.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>The eMEANSS project aims to develop a multi-disciplinary framework for uncertainty quantification that enables its identification and impact in three key areas of nuclear engineering: reactor physics, structural integrity and fuel performance. Working in collaboration with our partners, we are focussed on fatigue failure of graphite components, especially at high service temperatures, which is of concern for next generation reactors. A design tool is needed that can efficiently incorporate variances in the mechanical and thermal loading history, and material properties to quantify a probable component life. These interact in graphite as mechanical damage introduces micro-cracking that impacts elastic properties and the subsequent development of damage from applied strains. In addition to the simple uncertainties in boundary conditions, i.e. external load, internal stress and thermal conditions, complications arise from both the load sequence and the temperatures at which loading occurs, coupled with the impacts arising from neutron irradiation, temperature and coolant interactions on the relationship between deformation and graphite properties. We aim to generate new knowledge on the high temperature cyclic response of advanced nuclear graphite and will utilise it in the development of a new probabilistic modelling framework. In particular, the sensitivity of lifetime predictions to input data will be quantified, and practical guidelines will be proposed for inspection strategies that may be adopted in future high temperature reactors.</div><br> <div> </div><br> <div>All applications must be made online using the Oxford University E-Recruitment system, no later than 12 noon on 6 August 2024.
