Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.   

The role

This is an exciting new opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated postdoctoral fellow in health data-sciences and biomedical informatics to join the Veterinary Health Innovation Engine (vHive) and the University of Surrey’s Health and Biomedical Informatics Group. 

The overall objective for the postholder is to work within these multidisciplinary teams to apply and repurpose techniques in informatics, data sciences, machine learning and AI, to develop new insights and approaches to improve animal health and welfare. This will include assuming responsibilities for informatics- and computational-led data analysis to identify new opportunities via market analysis, drug repurposing/discovery, formal knowledge representation, and precision medicine-led biomarker discovery to complement new therapeutic veterinary medicine approaches.  

This work is contextualised into a programme award from our sponsors Zoetis (the largest animal health corporation globally) that seeks to support their interests in key disease issues. The post will thus involve collaborative working with industry partners, charities, as well as other universities and research institutes across the UK and internationally. The job holder will develop, repurpose and use new research techniques and methods, in consultation with the research supervisor and with input from Zoetis employees. These studies will include assessing interview and stakeholder data for unmet need definition, in-silico drug repurposing and trial research, critical evaluation and interpretation of biomarker discovery datasets (and in particular proteomics and transcriptomics), plus extensive library research. 

The overall programme of research will be jointly developed by Prof. Nophar Geifman and the person appointed. There are opportunities to broaden out into other areas such as new algorithm development, and advanced computational methodologies for integrated analyses. 

About you

You will have a key role in planning, designing and executing a range of analyses on varied novel projects aimed at high-impact and theoretically valuable research questions. Strong quantitative research skills with hands-on real-world experience are essential. You must have experience in the application of informatics pipelines to health and biomedical data (outside educational settings). You will need good communication skills, and able to work with and disseminate information to both academic and non-academic audiences. You will have a PhD in health, medical or bio-informatics, epidemiology, data sciences, or a related subject, ideally with a focus on utilising large-scale health/biomedical data and the application of advanced data analysis methods such as machine-learning. Equivalent research or industry experience will also be considered. Excellent statistical and analytical skills are necessary, as are programming skills, ideally with the ability to work in R and experience with bioinformatic tools/software. Coding in other languages such as python, is an advantage.

Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.  

The role

The University of Surrey has recently been awarded a three-year project by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The title of the project is Spectrally Efficient Low Cost Energy Efficient Communication for Transport using 3D Angular Modes (SELECT-3DAM). We are seeking a Research Fellow to join us for the remainder of the project (expected until March 2029) on a full-time basis.

This work builds on recent seminal work carried out by the project investigators on Linear Angular Momentum Multiplexing (LAMM). The project is an exciting opportunity to undertake work on antenna synthesis and physical layer radio to underpin the science to enable practical implementation of an evolution of this concept, 3D Angular Momentum Multiplexing (3DAMM), for advanced infrastructure to train communications.

We are looking to attract the brightest and best to form an effective team to develop and investigate the concept further. Together with another researcher appointed to the role focused on RF and antennas, this will include designing and constructing a concept demonstrator.

The postholder will undertake a range of research activities within a specified research area in infrastructure to train communications by means of 3D Angular Momentum Multiplexing, assuming responsibility for specific areas of projects and making use of new research techniques and methods, in consultation with the research award holder or supervisor. This will include computer-based simulations, library research, critical evaluation and interpretation as well as assisting other researchers with practical measurements.

About you

The post holder must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) or close to completing a PhD degree in Electronic Engineering, Mathematics or other areas related to synthesis of antenna arrays and/or modulation and coding. Postdoctoral research or industrial experience would be an advantage.
