Duties and Responsibilities
The primary purpose of this job is to develop large-scale detailed EHR in imaging pathology and genomic resources for glioma research.
The appointee will draw on the wealth of research excellence and translational experience brought together in UCL partner organisations. The post-holder will foster the development of a vibrant culture of translational science and will act as a role model for scientists at all stages in their careers. The successful candidate will be expected to leverage the multidisciplinary culture that characterises Health Data Research UK London, and for which UCL is also renowned. The post is available immediately for 2 years in the first instance.
Key Requirements
Educated at PhD level in a relevant quantitative discipline in bioinformatics, health data science, information systems engineering or computer science, the post-holder will ignite new biological- and data-intensive health research and collaborations, through cross-disciplinary technological advances, e.g. in data-driven innovation, imaging and phenotypic screening. We believe that there is a timely opportunity to derive value from patient-focused clinical data, e.g. determining the response or relapse of any residual tumour after surgery or after drug or radiation therapy. The post-holder will work closely with their counterpart in Edinburgh to map out numbers of brain tumour patients of different types by age and date across Scotland/London and, in addition, they will build longitudinal trajectories of consented Scottish/London-based sub-cohorts to examine co-morbidities, tumour recurrence, repeat surgery, deaths by cause etc.
It is expected that the appointee will have an ORCID ID and maintain their profile.
