Postdoctoral Researcher in the topological data analysis of lung and kidney cancer

Oxford Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Old Road Campus Research Building, Roosevelt Drive, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7DQ We have an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the topological data analysis of lung and kidney cancer. Based at the Oxford Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, you will be supervised by Professor Helen Byrne, together with Professor Heather Harrington (Mathematical Institute) and Dr Erik Sahai (Crick Institute, London). You will be responsible for managing your own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. You will adapt existing and develop new research methodologies and materials, and prepare working theories and analyse qualitative and/or quantitative data from a variety of sources, reviewing and refining theories as appropriate. Other duties will include presenting papers at conferences or public meetings and representing the research group at external meetings and seminars. It is essential that you hold a PhD/DPhil (or close to completion) in mathematics, data science, statistics, computer science or a related discipline. You will possess sufficient knowledge of data analysis and/or topological data analysis to work within established research programmes of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, the Mathematical Institute’s Wolfson Centre for Mathematical Biology and its Centre for Topological Data Analysis, and the Crick Institute. It is essential you have experience of computing and working with data, and an enthusiasm for learning about the growth and treatment of cancer.
