About this position
The University of Oxford is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science within the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. The researcher will contribute to two funded projects focused on research integrity, open science, and clinical trials transparency.
The first project, funded by UKRI, involves developing, testing, and publicising a tool designed to help researchers improve the quality of shared code. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to the tool’s research and development while coordinating outreach, publicity, and feedback with potential users.
The second project, funded by Coefficient Giving, expands the TrialsTracker project, which has monitored compliance with clinical trial reporting requirements in the United States and European Union since 2018. The researcher will develop expertise in clinical trial registration, reporting, and regulation, and support the future development of TrialsTracker and related research.
Working with Dr. Nicholas J. DeVito and the Bennett Institute research team, the postholder will deliver research outputs across academic and operational questions in research and medicine. The role also offers opportunities to contribute to open-science community building, the team’s codebase, policy work, original research ideas, and future funding activity.
The normal workplace is the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences at the Radcliffe Primary Care Building in Oxford, with the possibility of agreeing regular remote working with the line manager.
