The Opportunity

We are seeking a motivated researcher to support the integration and analysis of large-scale genomic and clinical datasets across nationally significant research programmes, including GenOMICC and ISARIC4C. The post holder will develop and optimise analytical pipelines and data workflows, working closely with researchers, clinicians, and data specialists to enable high-impact research into severe disease and critical illness.

People have always been at the heart of our work. As part of the University, you are a part of our community. We are looking for people with drive, determination, and a passion for what they do. We are a place where everyone is welcome and offer a range of policies and benefits designed to support you in building the right meaningful/personalised flexibility for you.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
