Location: London
Salary: £38,165 to £49,785 per annum
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 19th August 2024
Closes: 15th September 2024

About the Role

We have an opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the Centre for Multi-omics. We are one of 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 have a keen interest in training the next generation of scientists that can translate (genomic) data into clinically actionable insights.

We have unique multi-omic biosample repositories containing over 500,000 human tissue samples for research from consented patients, and available for longitudinal follow-up, from our culturally-diverse local East London population.

About You

We seek a postdoctoral candidate who 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 demands. 

About the Institute

PHURI will unite world-leading expertise from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), nationally and internationally to drive research excellence and expedite impact. Our multidisciplinary teams will address research across four interconnected centres:

  • Health data and analytics;
  • Multiomics and single cell analyses;
  • MedTech and Devices
  • Therapeutic Innovation

These centres will come together to create a complete journey from disease identification, through the development of a therapy or intervention, to translation for patients in the clinic. This integrated approach is a distinguishing feature of PHURI. 

PHURI builds on the close partnership between QMUL and Barts NHS Trust to ensure that our research is focused on where it’s needed most, using real-world clinical data to drive the development and targeted prescription of treatments based on patients’ needs. This will help to build a stronger health service for the people of East London, the UK and beyond.
