Research Assistant at Imperial College London

We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Associate/Assistant to work on a joint initiative at Imperial College between the Data Science Institute (DSI) https://www.imperial.ac.uk/data-science, the Imperial NIHR Brain Sciences Theme – Division of Brain Sciences and the Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics (ITMAT) Data Science Group https://www.imperial.ac.uk/itmat-data-science-group to develop a "Big Data" translational platform for curation, quality control, hosting and processing of complex imaging and relational data in the context of Healthcare research.

The translational platform is envisioned as a tool developed particularly to enable non-data science specialists to visualize and interrogate such large, complex datasets. The translational platform will lay the foundation for the development of transformative tools for high-quality, reproducible data-analytics-driven clinical research for discovery of modifiable risk factors, evidence for personalized approaches to treatment and monitoring medicine and new early markers of disease. The initial focus will be on diseases of the brain, particularly including late-life dementias.

The post is supported by the NIHR Imperial Biomedical Research Centre Brain Sciences Theme (http://imperialbrc.nihr.ac.uk/research/brain-sciences ) and the NIHR Imperial BRC Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics (ITMAT) (http://imperialbrc.nihr.ac.uk/facilities/institute-of-translational-medicine-therapeutics), both of which are committed to accelerate the translation of pre-clinical research into knowledge to guide more healthy living and improved diagnostics and treatments for disease.
