Lecturer/Clinical Lecturer in Multiomic Science

About the Role

We are looking for a Lecturer to develop a programme utilising our access to biological samples and linked health data for a large, diverse local population. The successful candidate will deliver projects to analyse proteomic or metabolomic measurements at population-scale and integrate them with health record and/or genomics data to identify rare, high-impact variants shaping human health.

You will also have the opportunity to integrate omics research with other thematic foci for PHURI in our multidisciplinary institute. We are an ambitious, curious and enthusiastic international team, that promotes scientific excellence and career development in the context of happy family and other demands.

There is also the opportunity for a clinical honorary appointment with the relevant speciality.

About You

We are looking for someone with a track-record of high-quality research in the field of omics science and/or single cell analysis at a national and ideally international level, experience of working with electronic health records, Multiomic data management and integration to work collaboratively, and engage others to work across disciplines with the aim of translation for patient benefit.

About the Institute

The Precision Healthcare University Research Institute (PHURI) unites world-leading expertise from Queen Mary’s, nationally and internationally to drive research excellence and expedite impact. PHURI’s multidisciplinary teams will address four interconnected research themes; Health data and analytics; Multiomics and single cell analyses; MedTech and Devices; and Therapeutic Innovation. These themes will come together to create a complete journey from disease identification, through the development of a therapy, intervention or device, to translation for patients in the clinic. This integrated approach is a distinguishing feature of PHURI.

Our Multiomics Centre is among the world leaders in the genetic discovery of molecular traits, such as metabolites and proteins, which we use to identify shared genetic regulation with common, complex diseases to discover new drug targets, indications and disease mechanisms. We are an ambitious, curious and enthusiastic international team with a keen interest in training the next generation of scientists that can translate (genomic) data into clinically actionable insights.
