Our mission is to discover the causes of musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions to deliver excellent and innovative care that improves people’s quality of life. Our highly skilled teams have expertise in a broad range of areas, including orthopaedic surgery, inflammation, immunology, rheumatology, medical statistics, epidemiology, and clinical trials. We currently have 460 staff, 100 students and have a grants portfolio worth over £148 million, and an annual turnover in excess of £38 million. The Botnar Research Centre enables and encourages research and education into the causes of musculoskeletal disease and their treatment. The Centre provides world-class facilities for scientists in the field of musculoskeletal research. It takes a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing orthopaedic, rehabilitation and rheumatology clinical scientists, bone oncologists, laboratory scientists, epidemiologists, engineers and statisticians. The Botnar also hosts the Oxford Clinical Trials Research Unit (OCTRU) and the Centre of Statistics in Medicine (CSM), providing excellent statistical support to all aspects of clinical research. The Botnar opened in 2002, with a large annex completed in 2013. The Botnar is now home to around 300 staff and postgraduate students enjoying the international and friendly atmosphere of this workplace and benefits from the vast knowledge of leading experts in the field of musculoskeletal research. To accommodate its rapid growth, the Centre will open another wing in 2021. This will provide research space for the new Professor of Biomaterials. The new space will include 1000m 2 of office and 1000m2 of laboratory space. The laboratory space includes a GMP clean room facility suitable for the manufacturing of biomaterials for human implantation. Sharing the site of the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, the largest specialist academic musculoskeletal hospital in the UK, puts the Botnar in a unique position to foster the collaboration between basic scientists and clinicians, which is essential to success in medical research. The Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology is world famous for its discovery of anti-TNF therapy for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, which has established the current standard of care and heralded the wider use of biologic drugs to treat chronic disease. The Institute carries out fundamental research in the areas of immunity and microbiome, inflammation biology and tissue remodelling and regeneration, with the long-term objective of ‘translating’ this research into clinical application. The major diseases of interest are rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and cancer. The Institute provides space to house close to 200 researchers and support staff.

The China Kadoorie Biobank Study The China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) Study (www.ckbiobank.org) is a uniquely rich and powerful global resource for investigating the environmental and genetic determinants of common chronic diseases. It is a long-term prospective cohort study of >512,000 men and women aged 30-79 years who were recruited during 2004-08 from ten geographically diverse urban and rural regions across China. The study aims to investigate the lifestyle, behavioural, environmental and genetic factors contributing to the aetiology of common chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, cancer and respiratory disease. An extensive range of data on environmental, physiological and lifestyle risk factors were collected at time of recruitment, with periodic resurveys of a subset of participants every 4-5 years. The health of participants is actively monitored through electronic linkages with the established morbidity and mortality registries, and with the national health insurance system for any episodes of hospitalisation. To date, >60,000 deaths and >1.2 million ICD-10-coded hospitalised disease events have been recorded in the study, including >65,000 strokes, >55,000 heart disease, >30,000 cancers and >35,000 new cases of diabetes. These exposure and health outcome data are complemented by assays of the stored samples in a subset of participants, including clinical biochemistry, NMR metabolomics, proteomics, red cell fatty acids, and chronic infection markers. Moreover, >100,000 CKB participants have been genotyped, using a custom designed Affy 800K SNP panel optimised for Chinese, and whole genome sequencing of the first 10,000 participants has recently been completed. It is planned that much larger scale, or cohort-wide, assays of the stored samples will take place over the next several years, using high throughput omics technologies. This uniquely rich, complex and multi-dimensional resource will allow scientists to undertake a wide range of research about disease aetiology, risk prediction, prognosis, and development of new treatments over the next few decades. The study is conducted jointly by the NDPH in Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking University in Beijing. It was established with initial funding from the Kadoorie Charitable Foundation in Hong Kong, with further long-term core support from the Wellcome Trust, the Medical Research Council, the British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK, as well as various funding bodies in China.

The REF Officer will provide specialist administrative support for the REF submission across a group of departments, across the Medical Sciences Division and one department in the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division. You will work closely with each department’s academic and administrative REF leads and the academic Unit of Assessment Leads. Initially you will provide support across all units. However, closer to submission, it is likely that you will be responsible primarily for one or two Unit(s) of Assessment but may be asked to cover others during periods of leave (and vice versa) to contribute to continuity of support. You will be expected to organise your work in collaboration with each department and Lead, with appreciation of the other workload that they have and to play a full part in supporting all aspects of the REF2029 to a high standard. The role includes managing administrative processes across each UOA as well as planning, undertaking and reporting key REF activity in line with the Central University timetable. You will therefore need to be able to propose and implement flexible solutions that meet local requirements while meeting a tight timetable for the University’s preparations and respecting the constraints of other teams. You will work across the various elements of REF from collation of staff data and outputs to supporting the work needed to draft the narrative elements of the submission (for example the People, Culture and Environment statement).

You will be required to build specialist knowledge of REF related tasks and recommend the most appropriate and efficient way to execute tasks, in consultation with each Department, the UOA Leads and the Research Evaluation Manager. This will involve you acquiring an excellent understanding of the REF processes and procedures and the confidence to advise senior academic colleagues on the rules. You will also provide advice and guidance on administrative best practice and share learning and process improvement across each of the departments that you are supporting, across the Division and with colleagues in similar roles across the University. Preparation for REF involves handling some personal data so you will be required to learn and adhere to the relevant processes for information security.

Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS&HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports 5 one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School. The University of Oxford is a member of the Athena Swan Charter to promote women in Science, Engineering, Technology and Medicine and holds an Athena Swan Silver award at institutional level. The Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences holds a departmental Gold Athena Swan award (awarded in March 2023 and the first Gold in the University of Oxford) to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. The Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences currently holds a Gold National Union of Students (NUS) Green Impact award. Green Impact is an environmental accreditation scheme championed by the National Union of Students and is designed to support environmentally and socially sustainable practice.

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS&HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School. The University of Oxford is a member of the Athena Swan Charter to promote women in Science, Engineering, Technology and Medicine and holds an Athena Swan Silver award at institutional level.

Hours Full time Contract type Fixed-term (3 years) Reporting to Associate Professor Dr M Isabel Leite (PI) Vacancy reference 172636 Additional information Externally-funded (only available for academic-related) Research topic The evolution of the antibody-mediated immune response in anti- acetylcholine receptor antibody myasthenia gravis Principal Investigator / supervisor Dr M Isabel Leite Project team Dr Nicholas Sanderson, Dr John McConville, Dr Patrick Waters Project web site www.ox.ac.uk/ Funding partner The funds supporting this research project are provided by Muscular Dystrophy UK. The role The goal of the project is to gain insight into the origins of autoantibody-driven autoimmune diseases, using the neuromuscular disease myasthenia gravis (in which patients make pathogenic antibodies against their own acetylcholine receptors - AChR) as a model. The central question is what happens at the initial event that triggers the expansion and affinity maturation of autoreactive B cells. We will address this in a clinical context, using samples from human patients, combined with state-of-the-art methods for isolating autoreactive antibodies and assessing their binding properties. The work will mostly take place in Oxford, but it is anticipated that some parts of the antibody isolation process will take place in Basel, Switzerland. Recent technical advances in human antibody cloning have revealed the unexpected finding that the germline versions of patient-derived (usually somatically hypermutated) anti-AChR antibodies do not recognise the AChR. This raises the question of what they do recognise, since they must have recognised something in order to be selected. The project will exploit this finding to examine the affinity of mutated and germline antibodies for various plausible initiating antibodies (foetal AChR, thymic AChR, etc), and thereby test competing hypotheses for the genesis of autoimmune diseases. The work will involve the management of patient blood and tissue samples, and laboratory techniques including cell culture, flow cytometry, RNA sequencing and bioinformatics, DNA cloning, radioimmunoassay and histology. The project is centrally planned and supervised by the PI, Consultant Neurologist Assoc Professor M I Leite, and will also involve other clinicians and scientists in Oxford, Belfast, and Basel. It is expected that the project will last 2-3 years, including antibody isolation, analysis, and preparation of manuscripts for publication. Responsibilities In addition to the technical and laboratory responsibilities directly related to the project as outlined above, the post holder is expected to: • • • • • • • • • • Get familiarised with the topic – basic clinical understanding of myasthenia gravis and main research questions Learn about basic ethical rules when using clinical data and biological samples from patients. Develop an adequate datasheet to record coded biological samples received to be used during the relevant stages of the laboratory studies Get familiarised with process of collection, processing, storing and transporting biological samples, including blood and its products (cells and plasma) and thymus tissue. Analyse data acquired during experiments and draft research reports Contribute to the regular reports to funding organisation and department Participate in weekly lab meeting and other regular meetings, for training and career development, organised by the department and university Consider supervising junior researchers occasionally, as required, or for short periods (weeks) (e.g. MSc students). Prepare presentations and participate in preparation of articles, and formally present their research at internal or international meetings. Undertake other duties in the department from time to time as determined commensurate with the grade and responsibilities of this post, and any other reasonable request Selection criteria = We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual who is excited about the prospect of using B-cell genetics in an archetypal autoimmune disease to explore fundamental questions about the origin of and evolution of the auto-antibody response. The candidate will be central to a new collaboration between the Neuroimmunology groups in Basel and Oxford. We anticipate that they will develop a range of highly transferrable skills including expertise in cloning B-cells to complex membrane-bound antigens, skills in cloning and expressing immunoglobulin genes, skills in characterising antibody binding and effector functions and relating these to disease mechanisms in myasthenia gravis. Essential selection criteria • • • • • PhD or equivalent: completed, or nearing completion within 6 months from the date of this application. Technical ability: knowledge and experience in at least the majority of the required techniques to conduct the research project. Communicating and relating to others (oral / written): this is a highly collaborative project, and the post holder will need to communicate effectively in discussions, by email and presentations. Decision-making, problem-solving, planning and organising: most of the techniques are well-established in Oxford or in Basel, but optimisation will probably be required for later stages of the project, particularly affinity measurements. A high level of independence will be required. Travel. some travel between Oxford and Basel is very likely to be necessary, including weeks or months in Basel.

Postdoctoral Research Scientist (2 Post).

RDM Investigative Medicine – Medical Sciences Division

 

Pay Scale: STANDARD GRADE 8

Salary (£): £45,585 - £54,395 per annum

Location: MRC Translational Discovery Immunology Unit (TIDU), Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Oxford.

Contract Type: Fixed-Term for 3 years

Hours: Full-Time

 

About the Role

 

An exciting opportunity to join a multidisciplinary research team at the Oxford centre of Neuroinflammation.

 

You are invited to apply to join Professor Lars Fugger and his team of research scientists, computational biologists, and clinicians, having access to state-of-the-art technologies and collaborating with leading researchers both locally and globally.

Physical and mental disability caused by neuroinflammation is a common clinical occurrence in many diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia. However, the cause(s) of this inflammation and the devastating consequences that ensue are poorly defined, as reflected by a lack of effective treatments. Moreover, their relatedness to inflammatory diseases outside of the central nervous system (CNS), such as inflammatory bowel disease or rheumatoid arthritis, is also unknown. We have shown how studying individual cells directly from patient blood or mapping biological events across the diseased brain in post-mortem tissue, can expose an intricate network of neuroinflammatory processes, which can change dramatically both through time and within the tissue. Importantly, we have developed fantastic collaborations with our local and international clinical colleagues, enabling us to study these diseases directly from patient samples, which are complemented by a wealth of clinical data. Our in-house capabilities include the generation of single cell epigenetic and transcriptomic data, complemented with protein level data (CITE-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and functional validation studies, including CRISPR-editing of primary cells.

 

About You

The successful applicant(s) is invited to expand and build upon this exciting research platform and to dissect the underlying biology that either unites or sets complex inflammatory diseases apart. You must therefore be highly motivated and have the ability to develop new ideas and research objectives.

You should have specialist knowledge in the discipline to develop research projects and methodologies. You should be able to independently manage a research project and research budget, with the ability to raise research funds through making grant applications.

You should hold a relevant PhD / D.phil with post- qualification research experience.

 

If you would like to discuss your application informally before applying, please email Professor Fugger (lars.fugger@imm.ox.ac.uk).

The researcher will join a collaborative effort between DPAG and WRH, funded by an award from the Research Innovation Fund of Pancreatic Cancer UK.

 

To expand, pancreatic cancer cells must first adapt to the acidic conditions in tumours by implementing adaptations involving ‘survival genes’, which also represent vulnerabilities for new therapies to target. We propose to derail cancer progression using DNA-binding molecules, called triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs), that inactivate these survival genes in the most metabolically active and acid-resistant cells responsible for driving aggressive disease.

 

The successful applicant will lead on pioneering research efforts to bring the latest therapeutic cargo delivery and TFO technology to eliminate pancreatic cancer cells. Work at this innovation stage is entirely in vitro. The project, funded by PCUK’s Research Innovation Fund, is a first step towards delivering precision medicine to target a metabolic vulnerability in cancer.

 

The successful applicant will have experience in working with nucleic acids, in delivering constructs to cells, and in performing assays; demonstrable skills in cell culture are essential; experience in developing therapy is desirable, although training will be provided, if necessary. Applicants must hold, or be close to completion of, a PhD/DPhil in a relevant field, such as biochemistry, molecular biology, oncology, or chemistry

The aim of IDDO is to facilitate ethical and equitable data sharing and IDDO follows the FREE FAIRER principles of ensuring that research data are Findable, Rapidly available, Ethical, Equitable, Forever, Accessible, Interoperable, Reliable, Economically viable, and Reusable. Launched in 2016, IDDO is building upon the pioneering work of the Worldwide Antimalarial Resistance Network (WWARN), which is now incorporated as a part of the IDDO portfolio. WWARN pioneered a unique inclusive approach to data sharing and analysis for malaria, at a time when data sharing was not widely practiced and well before it became mandated. This has resulted in the development of a successful model that has been refined over a period of 10 years. WWARN’s innovative approach has enabled the malaria community to ask practical, life-saving research questions using individual patient data meta-analyses and cross-disciplinary analyses to identify and understand common trends. Results have been used to inform treatment guidelines and the development of generic antimalarial medicines. The IDDO data platform has multiple active research themes, including: malaria (WWARN), nonmalarial febrile illness (NMFI), Ebola, Visceral Leshmaniasis, Schistosomiasis, COVID-19 and medicine quality. Additional themes are in development or being scoped for feasibility including Chagas disease, melioidosis, scrub typhus and viral haemorrhagic fevers and beyond. By 2023, IDDO aims to add further research themes to the platform portfolio. The IDDO model is built upon the fact that we can achieve significant economies of scale by adapting existing infrastructure for new diseases. IDDO’s secretariat is based in the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health at Oxford University, but works in strong collaboration with research communities on the ground and in real time to identify and prioritise research questions and provide tools and resources that improve the design and quality of clinical studies. We standardise and pool individual-patient data and facilitate complex meta-analyses to generate evidence on the efficacy of existing medicines, inform the development of new ones and advance understanding of disease. We disseminate the resulting evidence widely to inform policy and future research. This forms a virtuous cycle that enables the continual advancement of knowledge, builds capacity for evidence-based practice, and fosters equity. Using its three strategic themes of Build, Curate, Innovate, IDDO is:       Establishing an accessible and trusted infectious diseases observatory which acts as the central repository for data that contributes to the evidence base for understanding treatment of selected neglected poverty-related diseases and emerging infections; Ensuring the long-term security and accessibility of data; Gathering and sharing best methodological clinical research practices to improve data capture, management and integration of clinical, epidemiological, pharmacological/pharmacometric and laboratory-based studies; Developing tools to facilitate the use of these standards in prospective clinical trials in infectious diseases; Engaging the scientific community to implement and evolve these tools as the gold standard across poverty-related diseases and emerging infections fields; Developing governance policies to establish fair conditions of use and mechanisms to ensure that the contributions of those generating the data are properly recognised so that data are made available for effective and responsible data sharing. 1 The main focus of this post will be the management and transformation of the diverse data sets that are submitted to IDDO. Submitted data arrives in a wide variety of formats (flat files and relational databases) and software packages including SPSS, Stata, Excel, SAS, Epinfo and Access. A standard data structure and dictionary of variables has been established for the data and data transformation and mapping tools are used to transform, clean and analyse the data. You will be based at the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health in Oxford and work with a team of Data Managers and report to the Data Engineer (who reports to the Head of Data Engineering). You will work closely with the core IDDO team, including Statisticians, Programme Managers and Software Engineers and also communicate directly with data contributors around the world. You will work across the IDDO disease portfolio, including for example: malaria (WWARN), Ebola, visceral leshmaniasis, schistosomiasis, COVID-19 and medicine quality. Responsibilities You will:                  Manage, transform and curate clinical, epidemiological, molecular and pharmacology data. Ensure the completeness and accuracy of the data in the repository, as above. Ensure the accurate and complete submission of study datasets and associated documentation involving direct communication with data contributors from around the globe.

Manipulate contributed data using Trifacta or other tools such that the data is compatible with IDDO, WWARN and other platform tools. Maintain audit trails of data manipulation. Conduct internal verification of submitted data using standard tools. Contribute to the continued development of the data standard as new diseases and study types are shared with IDDO. Contribute to ensuring the completeness and accuracy of the IDDO data standard implementation guide. Maintain a tracking system to enable IDDO to monitor the progress of submitted data through the transformation and curation processes. Keep data contributors informed of the status of their data submission and a working knowledge of French would be very useful for this purpose. Provide advice and support training other staff on IDDO data management and transformation processes. Help study group coordinators to manage the study groups. Collaborate with IDDO statisticians and clinicians to ensure the data is in the format required for statistical analyses.

Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS&HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. 5 Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care and an MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we opened a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

The researcher will be involved in developing a treatment and an appropriate delivery strategy to target a metabolic vulnerability in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The aggressiveness and treatment-resistance in PDAC necessitates powerful interventions, but these carry the risk of damaging normal cells. The high metabolic rate required by PDAC for growth could be inhibited by drugs, but cancer cells may survive periods of quiescence, recover when treatment stops, or acquire resistance. Another approach is to inactivate genes that are essential for survival, but the right choice of target depends on knowing the adversities that cancer cell must overcome. The clue is in appreciating the tissue from which PDAC develops. Pancreatic ducts secrete large quantities of bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acids. Expunging bicarbonate (an alkali) from the fluid surrounding pancreatic cells makes their environment acidic, which is not something most cells experience. PDAC cells can out-compete their neighbours by becoming acid-resistant. Since cancer metabolism produces acid, this trait is beneficial when PDAC develops into a solid tumour and metastasises. These adaptations present druggable vulnerabilities. In a recent article in Nature Reviews Cancer, we explain how acidity should be exploited in treatments. Acidresistance is somewhat analogous to drug resistance, the difference being that cells produce acid themselves. This sets up a vicious cycle, wherein acid-resistant cells produce more acid to amplify their survival advantage. Eliminating this feature would derail cancer progression, but only few attempts have been made. Therapies that neutralize tumour acidity have been trialled, but rather than inactivating the acid-adaptive process, they delay it. New ideas are needed, which is why we are applying to the PCUK research innovation fund. 2 Our proposed strategy is (1) to target acid-resistant cells and (2) inactivate a critical survival mechanism. This strategy is supported by mathematical modelling predictions and builds on our discoveries. We found that cells can only survive acidity if they can respire with oxygen. To do this, they need a gene called NDUFS1. Cancer cells also need a pathway called fermentation which produces lactic acid, but this is normally blocked in acidic conditions. Acid-adapted cells overcome this by degrading an acid-entry pathway into cells called SLC4A2. We also found that acid-adapted cells can be distinguished by a protein at their surface called CEACAM5. This provides a way of delivering therapies. But how will we inactivate NDUFS1 selectively in acid-resistant PDAC cells? We propose an innovative approach that uses a decades-old method called triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs). These molecules can be engineered to inactivate NDUFS1 only in cells that are acidic inside. We will make cells acidic by blocking the pathway for removing lactic acid using drugs called monocarboxylate transport inhibitors (MCTi). To combine this, we will package MCTi and TFOs into particle called cubosomes which will be covered with antibodies that bind to CEACAM5. Our approach combines potency because TFOs kill cells by inactivating a “survival” gene, with high selectivity, in that acid-resistant PDAC cells meet the criteria for targeting. Compared to treatments, such as gemcitabine, 5-FU or other FOLFIRINOX components, our approach has a clear strategy to target the most aggressive cells. As a result, it may be possible to increase toxicity towards PDAC cells, without causing intolerable side-effects. Our team includes expertise in cubosome technology and is supported by a network of PDAC collaborators through two EU+UK-wide consortia. The project benefits from the wealth of information we have on PDAC lines, spanning a range of properties with respect to acidity. This proof-of-concept project will: 1. Refine ways of targeting MCTi and TFO-loaded cubosomes to CEACAM5-expressing PDAC cells using a panel of cell lines we have extensively characterised; 2. Generate TFOs that repress genes, including NDUFS1, in the acidic range only and benchmark performance against other gene inactivation methods that are not activated by cellular acidity; 3. Test the product for selective killing of the most acid-resistant cells under “petri dish” conditions.

You are invited to apply to join Professor Lars Fugger and his team of research scientists, computational biologists, and clinicians, having access to state-of-the-art technologies and collaborating with leading researchers both locally and globally. Physical and mental disability caused by neuroinflammation is a common clinical occurrence in many diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia. However, the cause(s) of this inflammation and the devastating consequences that ensue are poorly defined, as reflected by a lack of effective treatments. Moreover, their relatedness to inflammatory diseases outside of the central nervous system (CNS), such as inflammatory bowel disease or rheumatoid arthritis, is also unknown. We have shown how studying individual cells directly from patient blood or mapping biological events across the diseased brain in post-mortem tissue, can expose an intricate network of neuroinflammatory processes, which can change dramatically both through time and within the tissue. Importantly, we have developed fantastic collaborations with our local and international clinical colleagues, enabling us to study these diseases directly from patient samples, which are complemented by a wealth of clinical data. Our in-house capabilities include the generation of single cell epigenetic and transcriptomic data, complemented with protein level data (CITE-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and functional validation studies, including CRISPR-editing of primary cells. **About You** The successful applicant(s) is invited to expand and build upon this exciting research platform and to dissect the underlying biology that either unites or sets complex inflammatory diseases apart.

This will include NN language models to analyse text from electronic health records with the objective of predicting and applying the optimal treatment to each particular patient. You will be joining a friendly and dynamic interdisciplinary team of clinicians, bioinformaticians and AI/NN experts. You will be encouraged to interact widely with this group, and with other scientists across the Department of Psychiatry, the Big Data Institute, the Computer Science department, and the wider University. The project focuses on digital triage, where AI/ML technology is applied to improve processes for patients accessing specialist secondary mental health care; usually, a patient with symptoms of a mental illness is referred into secondary care from their GP or another healthcare provider such as attending an Emergency Department at an acute hospital. Community mental health teams are responsible for triaging all of these referrals and deciding on the most appropriate team to meet the patients’ needs. On average, across the NHS in England, there are around 400,000 referrals a month. Each referral requires resource-intensive review by clinicians and often, collation and review of the patient’s history with services captured in their electronic health records (EHR). Triage processes are, however, opaque, and often result in appropriate and timely access to care. The project will develop a clinical decision support tool (CDST) to deliver accurate, explainable, and justified triage recommendations to assist clinicians and expedite access to secondary mental health care. The proposed CDST will be trained on narrative free-text data combining referral documentation and historical EHR records for patients in the UK-CRIS database. This high-volume data set will enable training of end-to-end neural network natural language processing (NLP) to extract ‘signatures’ of patients who were (historically) triaged to different treatment teams. The resulting algorithm will be externally validated using data from different NHS trusts.

To expand, pancreatic cancer cells must first adapt to the acidic conditions in tumours by implementing adaptations involving ‘survival genes’, which also represent vulnerabilities for new therapies to target. We propose to derail cancer progression using DNA-binding molecules, called triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs), that inactivate these survival genes in the most metabolically active and acid-resistant cells responsible for driving aggressive disease. The successful applicant will lead on pioneering research efforts to bring the latest therapeutic cargo delivery and TFO technology to eliminate pancreatic cancer cells. Work at this innovation stage is entirely in vitro.

About us • • • What we offer University of Oxford - www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation Nuffield Department of Medicine (NDM) - https://www.ndm.ox.ac.uk Unit - Home — Centre for Medicines Discovery (CMD) (ox.ac.uk) https://hr.admin.ox.ac.uk/staff-benefits • An excellent contributory pension scheme • 38 days annual leave • A comprehensive range of childcare services • Family leave schemes • Cycle loan scheme • Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans • Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs • A welcoming and diverse community The role The Centre for Medicines Discovery (CMD) was established in 2020 with the ambition to help pioneer new treatments for disease. To realise this ambition, the CMD is forming extensive collaborations with academics across the University of Oxford and beyond to help translate basic science into new drug discovery projects, as well as partnerships with industry to develop drug leads into new medicines. We are seeking a Senior Programme Manager and Scientific Coordinator to help to manage and expand this portfolio, particularly in the fields of neuroscience and rare diseases. You will be a highly motivated individual with excellent organisational and communication skills and a strong scientific background in a relevant area of biology or chemistry, whether from past academic, industrial or clinical training. This leadership role presents an exciting opportunity to engage with a large number of world-leading academics and clinicians, as well as funders and industry representatives on a diverse portfolio of projects. You will help to establish strategic alliances for the department, help to write funding applications for new projects and contribute to their successful project management. You will be expected to supervise an associated project manager and will have the support of other Senior Programme Managers and Principal Investigators in the department. Successful projects will have a clear research and financial path to the clinic. The Centre for Medicines Discovery has a wide range of early drug discovery capabilities, including protein production, structural biology and drug design, high-throughput screening, high-throughput functional genomics, mass spectrometry, synthetic and medicinal chemistry, functional cell biology, and research informatics. While largely disease agnostic, it has significant interests in neuroscience, rare diseases, oncology, and anti-infectives. This includes participation in several major initiatives such as the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR Oxford BRC), the Alzheimer’s Research UK Oxford Drug Discovery Institute (ARUK-ODDI), the public-private EUbOPEN consortium and several consortia for pandemic preparedness. Founded in 2007 as a partnership between the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals, the NIHR Oxford BRC aims to translate scientific breakthroughs into potential new treatments. It is therefore a major strategic partner for this post and the CMD. The ARUK-ODDI focuses on novel therapeutic targets for dementia and brings together researchers from Biology, Chemistry, Psychiatry, and Neuroscience. The institute is one of three drug discovery institutes, sponsored by Alzheimer’s Research UK. The EU-funded IMI2 project, “EUbOPEN”, which involves 22 partners from academia and industry, aims to generate small molecule ligands for druggable protein families, including ubiquitin ligases (E3s) which can be exploited by small molecule PROTACs for targeted protein degradation. Finally, the CMD was a key driver of the COVID Moonshot project. Working with more than 200 scientists worldwide, the CMD helped to deliver a novel inhibitor of the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 which was published in Science in November 2023. The lead candidate shows excellent antiviral activity and is now in pre-clinical evaluation in collaboration with the Drugs for Neglected Disease initiative (DNDi). The team at CMD are currently involved in expanding this initiative to other viruses. For this position, you will hold a PhD in life-sciences.

Your critical thinking should be exemplified through a publication record, successful funding applications, or referenced initiatives. You must be a consummate communicator, who is able to convey clear messages verbally or in written documents, and is able to build relationships rapidly. An ability to multi-task is essential, as you will be running a number of projects simultaneously. The CMD is a partner in several £multi-million research initiatives with contributions from multiple PI’s and, in these cases, the programme managers have a significant leadership role that includes being the point of contact with external collaborators and requiring a grasp of the project deliverables and budget. In this regard a head for figures is a definite advantage. You will also be responsible for collating and editing the primary project reports and also for managing the CMD team’s representation on Joint Steering Committees/boards. As befits the importance of the role, you will sit on the CMD Team Leader Committee and enjoy the opportunity to propose and execute new initiatives. Business development is an important aspect of the role and includes the development of pitches to industry, venture capital or philanthropists. Experience of writing successful grant applications is therefore, important. Having co-ordinated, conceived and written large programme grant with scientific colleagues, encompassing multiple sites and disciplines would be a great advantage. In exchange, the CMD offers an exciting and uniquely collaborative academic department in which to 1 work; the freedom and flexibility, offered by an academic research environment, in which to train and develop your own initiatives and capabilities. We have a proud record of past-team members going on to win senior posts in industry or academia.

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. BZ24023_Medical Statistician_JD.docx 4 Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS&HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

The Big Data Institute The Oxford University Big Data Institute (BDI) is an interdisciplinary research centre aiming to develop, evaluate and deploy efficient methods for acquiring and analysing biomedical data at scale and for exploiting the opportunities arising from such studies. For more information please visit: http://www.bdi.ox.ac.uk/ The role The postholder will be part of a team working on biomedical imaging, multiple aspects of machine learning and analysis methods. The primary focus of this role is to develop novel biomedical image analysis and machine learning methods to analyse computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scans to identify therapy-resistant disease of lung cancer. Current clinical imaging methods that measure changes in tumour size (e.g. CT scan), or alterations in tumour glycolytic metabolism (e.g. [18F]FDG PET/CT), require multiple treatment cycles to confidently detect therapy resistance. Here, in collaboration with King’s College London, University of Newcastle, and University of Cambridge, we will be developing a combination of innovative whole-body imaging techniques and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) methods to automate quantification of the tumour volume readouts and predict therapy resistance of individual lesions. AI/ML–aided methods in medical imaging can improve the accuracy and efficiency of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Traditionally, obtaining reliable and consistent readouts from multimodal imaging (e.g. PET/CT) is time-consuming and dependent on intra- and inter-reader observer biases. Moreover, preclinical imaging of the lung additionally suffers from inherent motion and breathing artefacts which may confound results. Automated, accurate, and unbiased quantification of tumours is therefore essential for the translation of [18F]FSPG PET into existing clinical pathways and for the identification of therapy-resistance disease. This post provides an exciting opportunity to work with unique imaging data to address one of the biggest challenges facing cancer patient management, and join a multi-disciplinary team employing quantitative approaches to novel biomedical problems. The is an excellent opportunity for someone with a quantitative background, who would like to gain experience working with a research team on challenging data science projects. The candidate will report directly to the Oxford study PI, Associate Professor Bartek Papiez.

The role This is an exciting role for a motivated and ambitious scientist to contribute to a leukaemia research project focused on the characterisation of immune responses in children with juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML), a rare form of blood cancer occurring exclusively in children. JMML is a disease that is driven by mutations causing RAS-pathway activation. There are no treatments available for JMML other than Bone Marrow transplantation, which is only curative in 60% of patients. Prior work, led by Professor Adam Mead and Dr Eleni Louka has led to the identification and characterisation of disease propagating stem cell in JMML. Through state-of-the-art single cell technologies, combined with functional in vitro and in vivo stem cell assays, this project will be focused on understanding immune responses in children with JMML. A key question is whether heterogebneity in immune responses against the leukaemic clone both before and after transplant might underlie differences in clinical outcomes, with potential to translate finding through to new immune therapies. The postholder will work closely with Dr Louka and focus in screening and mechanistically validating key disease targets through in vitro and in vivo disease models. The postholder will have the opportunity to work with cutting edge single cell technologies including 10x mutli-omics, single cell genotyping, spatial transcriptomics, multiparameter flow cytometry and CRISPR screens, while have the opportunity to learn how to use bespoke single cell computational pipelines developed in the Mead lab.

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. 4 Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS&HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS&HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. 5 Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

Having more than two conditions is called ‘multiple long-term conditions’ (MLTC) also known as multimorbidity. The more conditions someone has, the more disabling the effects. The CoMPuTE project (https://www.phc.ox.ac.uk/research/groups-and-centres/medicalstatistics/COMPUTE) is looking at whether we can predict those more likely to develop MLTC – to get help sooner to those who need it and prevent people from developing MLTC in the first place. The CoMPuTE programme is organised into three different themes and these are :  To harness the power of longitudinal Electronic Health Records to develop AI-enhanced models and tools and improve the management (prevention and treatment) of mid-life and early old age MLTC and Complex-MLTC (C-MLTC). (Theme 1)  To characterise the epidemiology, inequalities and costs of C-MLTC by clusters of disease trajectories identified in mid-life and early old age. (Theme 2)  To ensure decision-making tools and other outputs are fit-for-purpose and account for actual lived care needs and, therefore, serve the needs and expectations of target audiences. (Theme 3) We are looking for a talented statistical epidemiologist to contribute to components of Theme 2 “Epidemiology, inequalities and health economics”. This will include using large scale data from electronic health records (CPRD) and UK Biobank to explore patterns and identify risk factors and the causal relevance of these risk factors for C-MLTC. We also assess relationships between risk factors and AI-derived clusters of C-MLTC; identify potential interventions and investigate the relationship between these AI-derived clusters and a range of health outcomes, health inequalities, and resource use.

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. 4 Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS HERG), which undertakes qualitative research into the patient experience including the Healthtalk research programme published on www.healthtalkonline.org. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.
