Bull Math Biol 86(11): 128. JA Bull et al (2024). Biological Imaging 4, e2. The role We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to work within the multidisciplinary GOPRECISE colorectal precancer team. This is a fixed term position until 31 December 2027, funded by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The work will be jointly supervised by Professor Simon Leedham (NDM), Professor Helen Byrne (Mathematical Institute, MI), Dr Joshua Bull (MI) and Dr Eoghan Mulholland (NDM). GlaxoSmithKline and Oxford University (GO) launched the PRECISE Alliance (Pre-Cancer Biology and Immunoprevention) in 2024, with the aim of conducting deep exploration of cancer precursors (precancers) to identify their molecular vulnerabilities and developing methods to intercept them. The alliance is directed by Professor Sarah Blagden. Within Oxford, the alliance spans multiple departments and brings together expertise in basic science (including spatial biology), immunology (including machine learning, bioinformatics, preclinical validation) and clinical development (including trial design, delivery and regulatory approval) as well as community engagement. This truly multi-disciplinary initiative aims to transform cancer by actively preventing its development, initially in people at highest risk of the disease and later in the wider population. This post is within the colorectal precancer theme which is jointly led by Simon Leedham and David Church. You will work as part of the Applied Spatial Biology Oxford group, a large multidisciplinary team of mathematicians, computational biologists, experimentalists and clinicians, and in collaboration with the research groups of Leedham and Byrne and the GO-PRECISE team. You will be responsible for developing and using cutting-edge mathematical methods to describe the spatial characteristics and cellular interactions that characterise colorectal precancer, identifying novel spatial biomarkers from spatial transcriptomics data, and exploring neoantigens or therapeutic targets that could be used for novel interception strategies. The generation of spatial data in biology has been transformed by multiplex imaging and spatial-omics technologies, such as single cell spatial transcriptomics. These approaches permit detailed mapping of phenotypic information about individual cells and their spatial locations within tissue sections. To aid in mathematical analysis of spatial data, you will use MuSpAn, a Python toolbox for multiscale analysis of spatial data which includes techniques drawn from spatial statistics, topological data analysis and networks (www.muspan.co.uk), to develop pipelines for high-throughput data analysis of spatial transcriptomics imaging. Your research will involve the theoretical development and practical application of new mathematical methods which expand this toolbox, using a new precancer dataset. 1 Responsibilities You will: • • • • • • • • • • Manage your own academic research and administrative activities. Adapt existing mathematical and statistical methods for analysis of high-dimensional imaging data, and develop new ones. Analyse quantitative imaging data from a variety of sources, including Spatial Transcriptomics and multiplex Spatial Proteomics platforms. Develop skills in computational biology and mathematical spatial analysis via independent study and training courses. Collaborate with colleagues from the Mathematical Institute, Centre for Human Genetics, and the PRECISE Alliance. Collaborate on the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles, present papers and posters at conferences/workshops. Follow and promote best practices for research software engineering and reproducible research within the University of Oxford and the wider UK and international research community. Contribute to community activities such as seminars and networking events. Participate in and support the public engagement and widening access activities of the Department and the University. This is anticipated to be not more than 2 days per year. Undertake mandatory training as required by the University, Division and Department. The specific list of training courses may change from time-to-time, in response to both legal and internal University requirements. Selection criteria Essential • • • • • • • • Hold a PhD/DPhil (or close to completion) in mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, data science or a related discipline. Demonstrated ability to analyse and interpret complex multidimensional data. Experience of programming in Python, or demonstrated ability to rapidly acquire fluent knowledge of new programming languages, libraries, and platforms. Have a strong interest in interdisciplinary research in the biological and medical sciences. Excellent communication skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with biomedical researchers, write for publication and present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings. Demonstrated enthusiasm for working across disciplinary boundaries. The ability to work independently and to pursue research as part of an interdisciplinary team. A good publication record, for your career stage. Desirable • • • • Experience of applying software engineering best practices (e.g. issue tracking, code review, testing, documentation and continuous integration) Experience of close collaboration with researchers in the biological or medical sciences. Experience of working with biomedical datasets, particularly cancer data and/or spatial data.
