We are seeking five outstanding and experienced individuals to establish themselves as Principal Investigator of a research team at recently established Oxford GSK Institute of Molecular and Computational Medicine (IMCM). 

The IMCM is a strategic enterprise bringing together the best scientific, clinical, technological and computational expertise from the University of Oxford and GSK which aims to improve tools in, and knowledge from, genetics, genomics, molecular and single cell biology, spatial imaging, machine learning and novel methods of data handling to study the pattern of diseases in new ways, focusing on neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. This unique and highly-integrated industry/academic partnership is based in the Nuffield Department of Medicine (NDM) but has associations throughout the University and is built around fellows and project teams. The fellow package includes funding for a small research team and will be held initially for 5 years, with the potential to extend for a further 5 years subject to satisfactory review. We encourage individuals from a wet lab and/or biomedical data science background to apply. 

You will be responsible for establishing, developing and leading an independent, competitive programme of research within the theme of neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory disease, and generating research income, write funding applications for specific avenues of independent research and manage and monitor research resources and budgets. You will develop and conduct collaborative projects with colleagues within NDM, GSK and other departments, universities, research institutes and healthcare providers both nationally and internationally, and regularly prepare the results of the team’s work for publication in learned journals, presentation at national and international conferences, and lead seminars to disseminate research findings. You will effectively manage a research team by motivating, supervising and communicating with all members of your team, including compliance with relevant academic, clinical and informatics governance standards. 

It is essential that you hold a PhD/DPhil, MD in a relevant area of research with significant post-qualification research experience, and hold recognised authority in genetics, molecular/cellular biology and/or data science in biomedical research, together with experience in ‘Omics analyses for multifactorial diseases. You will have expertise and proven track record of leading research programmes and developing new avenues of research, and an established record of international publications and/or registered patents. You will have an approach to research which will directly contribute to, and benefit from, the forward thinking and collaborative ethos of IMCM, together with excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to work with people at all levels of seniority in the University, and the proven or potential ability to lead, motivate and manage a group of scientists. 

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required to upload a CV, supporting statement and 1-2 page Research Plan (template document attached below) as part of your online application. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience. 

This position is offered full time on a fixed term contract for 5 years in the first instance, and is funded by the IMCM.

Only applications received before 12 midday on Wednesday 26th April 2023 will be considered.

Interviews are to be held on Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th May 2023.
