About the role
The Centre of Excellence in Water Based Early Warning Systems for Health Protection is working to transform public and environmental health management, establishing the first Urban Living Lab facility; a state-of-the-art digital water sensing platform, training base and ideas hub. The centre combines sensing, mathematical modelling, data analytics and informatics with epidemiology and public engagement tools to provide low-cost and real-time community-wide testing of population health and the environment.
Applications are invited for a Research Associate position to develop and apply novel statistical modelling and machine learning tools to integrate data arising from water-based epidemiology into an agile and reliable monitoring and alert systems. Specific responsibilities including:
- Assessing the quality and compatibility of historic data from heterogenous sources including mass spectrometry, PCR, water sensing, public health databases.
- Using synthetic and historic data to design a workflow to fit and validate machine learning and statistical models.
- Supporting the modelling challenges arising from the research of scientists and engineers across the Centre.

- excellent communication skills
- potential to publish in high quality journals
- demonstrated awareness of latest developments in this field of research
The successful candidate will work closely with other Research Associates, academic leads, technical specialists (water, mass spectrometry and data engineer) and PhD students in the Centre to deliver a unique water-based early warning system for (infectious) disease diagnostics.
