We have an exciting opportunity to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join our new, dynamic Pandemic PACT team within the Pandemic Sciences Institute, Nuffield Department of Medicine to contribute to our mission to strengthen capacity and capability for effective, coordinated, and equitable research responses to infectious disease outbreaks of epidemic and pandemic potential.

As part of this mission we are establishing living platforms for tracking existing evidence on high-priority infectious diseases, to identify gaps in the evidence base to inform research prioritization and coordination in inter-epidemic times and response to outbreaks.

You will be responsible for contributing to the dissemination of data via high-level stakeholder meetings, peer-reviewed publications, and policy briefings. Overall leadership and oversight of the platform and work will be provided by Dr. Louise Sigrid.

You will be tasked with adapting existing and developing new research methodologies and materials. You will be exploring the integration of automated methods for sustainability and effective analysis and dissemination of data for action. You will also be responsible for supporting the wider Pandemic PACT team by providing analysis data visualization and dissemination support and providing support for data analysis, visualisation, and dissemination for action via reports, dashboard, abstracts, manuscripts, and meetings for the RRNA team and the wider PACT team.

To be successful in this role, you will hold a PhD/DPhil (or close to completion) in a relevant subject, such as in medical statistics, epidemiology, data science, medicine, public health, infectious diseases, pharmacology, or microbiology. You will have experience in data analysis, data visualisation, and experience of qualitative and/or quantitative data analysis. You will have excellent communication skills, including the ability to present findings at conferences and meetings and to write for publication. You will also be able to adapt to different contexts, uncertainty and change will be an advantage as outbreaks and priorities may change during the project.
