The role

We are advertising for a Research  Associate/Senior Research Associate post, to work on the Wellcome-funded AUGMENT study investigating the size and shape of bones and joints on approximately 100,000 images obtained from UK Biobank participants. You will join a multi-disciplinary team of epidemiologists, statisticians and clinicians based at the highly successful Musculoskeletal Research Unit at Southmead Hospital, which has close links with the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit.

What will you be doing?

In collaboration with our project partners you will help to generate measures from DXA scan images using code and software developed at collaborating institutions. You will also carry out data quality checks, descriptive analyses, and analyse relationships between these parameters and potential risk factors and disease outcomes related to osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Depending on previous experience, you will also carry out genome-wide association studies of these bone and joint measures, and conduct causal pathway analyses using genetic instruments identified in this way. Findings are expected to result in high impact publications to which you are expected to make a major contribution.

You should apply if

You should consider this role if you have a good basic knowledge and expertise of epidemiology and/or genetic epidemiology, and have some experience in carrying out research in this area as evidenced by relevant qualifications (Masters or preferably PhD) and ideally previous peer reviewed publications.
