Health Data Scientist

Oxford Population Health (the Nuffield Department of Population Health) provides an excellent environment for multi-disciplinary research and teaching and for professional and support staff. We work together to answer some of the most important questions about the causes, prevention and treatment of disease.

We are seeking a well-organised individual with a strong interest in programming, data analyses, and quality control to work on a Wellcome Trust funded project on alcohol-related dementia. We will investigate the degree to which alcohol-related dementia has a unique clinical profile, genetic susceptibility and molecular basis to other types of dementia. This is an exciting opportunity to work with health data, address an important public health and clinical research issue, and join a multi-disciplinary team employing quantitative approaches to novel health problems.

To be considered, you must hold a strong degree in a computational subject such as computer science, physics or engineering, have experience of using R or python for data manipulation and statistical analysis (if python then must also learn R) and can prioritise workload.

This is a full time, fixed term post (part time considered) for 1 year.

The closing date for applications is noon on 16 July 2025.

You will be required to upload a CV and a cover letter as part of your online application. The cover letter should clearly describe how you meet each of the selection criteria listed in the job description.
