Position

We are seeking a Research Fellow – Statistical Data Scientist to join the Big Data in Health Group at the University of Southampton. The Fellow will work on a UKRI‑funded project investigating how temperature extremes, such as heatwaves and cold spells, affect the health of people living with multiple long‑term conditions (MLTC). The work will focus on analysing CPRD and HES data to understand the effects of extreme temperature on health outcomes (e.g., hospitalisation and mortality) on multimorbidity populations.


Location

The work will be based within the Big Data in Health Group (BDiH) at the University of Southampton, led by Dr Hajira Dambha‑Miller.


About the Role

  • Conduct CPRD and HES analyses to quantify temperature‑related health risks in multimorbidity populations.
  • Prepare findings for publications, presentations, and interactive visualisations.
  • Contribute to monthly consortium meetings, training activities, and cross‑disciplinary collaboration.
  • Work independently with strong organisational skills and proficiency in statistical analysis.

This position is initially funded for 15 months with potential for extension.


About You

  • Experience in analysing CPRD is essential.
  • Statistical/epidemiological expertise.
  • Strong writing and presentation skills.
  • Ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and contribute effectively to a collaborative, multidisciplinary team.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to cutting‑edge health data science with direct policy and public health relevance.


Contact

For an informal discussion about the post please contact Associate Professor Hajira Dambha‑Miller at: .


Application Details

Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.

Machine Learning Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Machine Learning Department

Machine learning is now central to many advanced data-driven products and services across the UK.
