This full-time post is available, on a fixed term basis, from 1st September 2022 to 30th August 2024, subject to the annual funding reactivation applied to awards funded by the JDRF.
The post
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Research Fellow to participate in the project “Clinical and Economic Optimisation Platform for Type 1 Diabetes Screening” which is funded by the JDRF, a global organisation funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. It is a collaborative project led by the University of Colorado, and which includes a team at the University of Exeter.
The project’s overall aim is to develop a comprehensive, user-friendly, and publicly available clinical and economic T1D screening platform to inform global public health adoption and therapeutic investment decisions. Identifying people at risk of developing type 1 diabetes can help avoid life-threatening complications. Without early identification the consequences are severe, including considerable cost and health consequences for patients and families.
The project brings together a group of global experts to combine multiple sources of evidence in one user-friendly web-based platform that identifies the most cost-effective screening strategies. In order to deliver on the transformative objectives of this project, this research post at Exeter will focus on building and adapting prediction models for genetic risk scores, along with their model calibration via multi-objective optimisation and software tool integration.
You will work closely with Professors Jonathan Fieldsend (Professor of Computational Intelligence and Turing Fellow) and Richard Oram (Associate Professor and Diabetes UK Harry Keen Fellow) and their groups. The role will include work on model development and calibration, along with developing the optimisation framework, and collaboration with team members in the United States. A good knowledge of R and the Shiny package, and the ability to write and develop scripts as well as modify and implement open source or published code is desirable.

Closing Date: 22nd August
We expect interviews to take place online or in person towards the end of August
