Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
The Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at the University of Cambridge is seeking a Research Associate in Data Science to develop, maintain and analyse databases related to pregnancy studies.
About Obstetrics & Gynaecology:
The department carries out research and education at the highest international standards of excellence. A substantial proportion of the work in the department aims to develop novel methods to identify women at high risk of pregnancy complications. This programme of work has driven two prospective cohort studies: POPS (4,512 women) and POPS2 (aims to recruit 5,500 women, currently at ~85% of target). Both studies include large scale collection of data and biological samples, the latter >500,000 aliquots across the two cohorts.
Key responsibilities:
The successful role holder will develop and maintain the databases related to the Pregnancy Outcome Prediction (POP) Studies, and provide support for teams using the data and biological samples. The role will involve good data management practice, especially in terms of data robustness and security (https://www.data.cam.ac.uk/). For interested candidates, there will also be the opportunity to participate in primary research.
