Job Description:

Andrew Wiles Building, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG

We are currently inviting applications for two Postdoctoral Research Associates (PDRAs) to work with Professor Robin Thompson at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. These are two fixed-term positions for 24 months and 12 months, respectively, funded by a research grant from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). We anticipate the start date for these positions to be in January 2026, but earlier or later start dates can be negotiated.

The research undertaken in these roles will be carried out under the BBSRC grant “Modelling to inform interventions during Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza outbreaks in Great Britain” (BB/X016137/1).

The postdoctoral researchers will be expected to conduct research both independently and collaboratively with other members of the group at Oxford and elsewhere. They are also expected to provide informal mentorship to doctoral students in the group.

These positions are well-suited to researchers with strong modelling and computational skills and offer the opportunity for research with positive real-world impacts.

We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award, guiding our progress toward racial and gender equality. As part of our strategic aim to improve staff equality and diversity, we particularly welcome applications from women and BME candidates, who are currently underrepresented in positions of this type within the department.
