The Cambridge-GSK Translational Immunology Collaboration is a new, interdisciplinary partnership between the University of Cambridge and GSK, bringing together expertise in immunology, AI and clinical development from both partners. The collaboration will focus on two disease areas: chronic kidney disease, estimated to affect 850 million people, roughly 10% of the world's population and chronic respiratory disease, affecting around 545 million people..
The University of Cambridge is seeking a highly motivated, hard-working and professional computational biology data scientist to join a team of clinical, immunological and computational researchers within CG-TIC.
Who you'll be working with
The role is based in the Department of Medicine, working with clinical and scientific researchers from CG-TIC who are based primarily in the Cambridge Institute of Therapeutic Immunology & Infectious Disease (CITIID) and the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart & Lung Research Institute (HLRI). CG-TIC also incorporates clinician researchers from the nearby Addenbrooke's and Royal Papworth Hospitals, and our partners at GSK. You will work as part of a team of CG-TIC research data analysts, supporting colleagues across CG-TIC in processing and analysing complex and varied datasets. The team is led by the Senior Computational Biologist, and under the direction of the CG-TIC Data Management Committee. You will be embedded within a research team within CG-TIC to fully understand their research questions and to be able to provide the analytical support they will require.
What you will do
The collaboration will generate and have access to clinical and immunological data as well as many large data sets, including spectral immune phenotyping, proteomics and single-cell sequencing data (both spatial and droplet) and Electronic Healthcare Record data. As well as ingestion, processing and analysis, you will be able to present your results to others in the collaboration and at conferences. You will be working with a wide range of stakeholders, and attention to detail, good organisational skills and an ability to quickly tap into the research questions and data and analytical needs of the research teams are key to the role.
