We are seeking
a Senior Researcher to join the Ideker Laboratory at the Big Data Institute (BDI) and the Nuffield Department of Population Health at the University of Oxford. The successful candidate will contribute to an interdisciplinary research programme at the interface of artificial intelligence, biology, and human health. The research will focus on developing computational frameworks that bridge genotype and phenotype, enabling disease risk stratification and precision medicine applications across a range of human diseases, including neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. The work will leverage major international data resources, including UK Biobank, Bridge2AI, and programmes supported by the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), within a highly collaborative global research environment. The successful candidate will work closely with computational scientists, geneticists, clinicians, and experimental biologists, contributing intellectual leadership to the research programme and helping shape its strategic direction. The role will also involve leading collaborative research projects, contributing to major funding applications, publishing high-impact research, and mentoring junior researchers. Applicants should hold a PhD/DPhil in cell biology, cancer biology, computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, with significant postdoctoral research experience. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in computational biology, machine learning, and quantitative analysis, experience working with large-scale multi-omics data, and a proven track record of peer-reviewed publications. Excellent communication skills, experience contributing to grant development, and the ability to work effectively within interdisciplinary teams are essential. This is a full time, fixed term post (part time considered) for 3 years.
