About this position

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity in Health Data Science at the University of Liverpool, United Kingdom.

The role sits within Professor Sofat’s NIHR-funded Research Professorship in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, based in the Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology. The project focuses on developing causal inference approaches for observational health data, including electronic health records and linked genetic data, to improve the safe and equitable use of medicines.

Research methods and themes include target trial emulation, Mendelian randomisation, epidemiology, statistics, pharmacology, genomics, multi-omics, and advanced analytics such as machine learning. The team works across clinical, data, and discovery science, and collaborates with data scientists, statisticians, clinicians, pharmacists, nurses, patients, policy makers, and guideline groups.

This is a full-time, fixed-term post for 3 years with hybrid working available. The post is aimed at experienced and motivated postdoctoral researchers. A PhD is expected; if the doctorate is still pending, the appointment starts at Grade 6 and moves to Grade 7 once the PhD is formally awarded. Domain expertise in health or therapeutics is desirable but not essential.

Deadline: 15 September 2026.
