Department : Comprehensive Cancer Centre

The post holder will assist the development of the data platform of the recently awarded MRC Stratified Medicine Re-IMAGINE Consortium. The post holder will help coordinate the data management, analysis and linkage work-package under supervision of Dr Van Hemelrijck. The work will ensure that the diverse data are captured, protected, integrated, classified and analysed using the latest techniques and statistical methods. The Re-IMAGINE infrastructure will comprise a translational data warehouse with analytical capabilities that will be accessible through an online portal designed by Philips electronics. The platform will permit acquisition and storage of a variety of high-content data types including rich meta-data and clinical phenotypes, in addition to extraction, harmonisation, annotation and analysis, as well as the necessary integration, aggregation and visualisation of the data. The platform will be firewall secured and contain a range of specific access privileges.

The post holder will thus be involved in generating epidemiological data of considerable complexity and dimensionality. Hence, a variety of analytical methods will need to be used to analyse the essential elements: radiomics, genomics, and risk prediction.

This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 12 months.

King's College London is one of the top 20 universities in the world and among the oldest in England. King's has more than 27,600 students (of whom nearly 10,500 are graduate students) from some 150 countries worldwide, and some 6,800 staff.

King's has an outstanding reputation for world-class teaching and cutting-edge research. In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) King’s was ranked 6th nationally in the ‘power’ ranking, which takes into account both the quality and quantity of research activity, and 7th for quality according to Times Higher Education rankings. Eighty-four per cent of research at King’s was deemed ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ (3* and 4*). The university is in the top seven UK universities for research earnings and has an overall annual income of more than £684 million.

King's has a particularly distinguished reputation in the humanities, law, the sciences (including a wide range of health areas such as psychiatry, medicine, nursing and dentistry) and social sciences including international affairs. It has played a major role in many of the advances that have shaped modern life, such as the discovery of the structure of DNA and research that led to the development of radio, television, mobile phones and radar.
