Oxford Population Health (the Nuffield Department of Population Health) provides an excellent environment for multi-disciplinary research and teaching and for professional and support staff. We work together to answer some of the most important questions about the causes, prevention and treatment of disease.
We are seeking an experienced Big Data Institute (BDI) Head of Strategic Scientific Research to provide senior-level scientific coordination and strategic research support to advance the Institute's research mission. Reporting to the BDI Director, the post holder will act as a trusted partner, supporting the implementation of strategic scientific priorities and working closely with departmental professional services teams across the University.
The role combines strategic implementation with operational leadership. Responsibilities include coordinating major research programmes and partnerships, supporting training initiatives such as the Oxford EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Health Data Science, leading communications and events activity, and contributing to operational and financial planning.
Working with departmental finance and research support teams, the post holder will also support reporting, performance monitoring and long-term planning for shared resources such as the Biomedical Computing Facility.
This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the strategic development of a leading interdisciplinary biomedical data sciences research institute.
