Epidemiologist Vacancies – Our Future Health
At Our Future Health, we’re building the UK’s largest ever health research programme. We’re bringing together up to 5 million volunteers to create an unparalleled resource that will transform how we detect, prevent, and treat diseases such as cancer, dementia, diabetes, and heart disease.
We’re now looking for two Epidemiologists to join our growing Epidemiology team. While both roles share a common foundation in epidemiological methods and collaborative data science, each will have a distinct area of focus:
Role-Specific Focus Areas
-
Health Questionnaires: Lead the development of new participant questionnaires, ensuring they are scientifically robust, valid, and fit for purpose. Requires a strong background in questionnaire design and validation.
-
Questionnaire Data: Apply epidemiological expertise to various datasets (e.g., air pollution data, biomarkers, or clinical measurement data).
As an Epidemiologist, you’ll provide critical expertise across multidisciplinary teams developing data products and research services. Your responsibilities will include:
- Collaborative contribution: Working with data scientists, engineers, product managers, and designers to transform complex health data into high-quality, scientifically robust resources.
- Study design & data interpretation: Guiding analytical approaches to meet research priorities and ethical standards.
- Reproducibility & governance: Ensuring outputs are aligned with participant trust, trust and governance requirements.
- Cross-functional project involvement: Performing descriptive, exploratory, and population health analyses to support research.
- Method communication: Explaining analytical methods, assumptions, limitations, and findings to both scientific and non-technical audiences.
- Organisational contribution: Enhancing analytical standards, reusable code, and documentation across the organisation.
