Applications are invited for six Research Associate positions based in the new Medical Research Council Centre of Research Excellence (MRC CoRE) in Exposome Immunology, hosted jointly by the universities of Manchester and Oxford. The CoRE will leverage cutting edge computational approaches, novel experimental models, and experimental medicine studies to uncover how pollutants and infections interact with our genes to cause and exacerbate chronic inflammatory diseases.
The successful PDRAs will form the foundation of our centre, working on six complementary projects that form our initial research portfolio. As such, the research will be highly collaborative in nature, with the post-holders often working across research groups to follow new leads and generate preliminary data that can underpin subsequent grant applications and high impact publications. Depending on progress of their individual projects, researchers may be required to transfer their focus to other emerging priorities within the centre. Successful applicants will have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in computational biology or computer science, with knowledge of multimodal spatial omics data integration and machine learning algorithms.
