Sheffield, United Kingdom University of Sheffield Full time

We have an exciting opportunity in the School of Medicine and Population Health for a health data scientist looking to bring their skills to this development award with the opportunity to contribute to a major innovation hub bid at the end of the award.

You will be joining a highly interdisciplinary research team on the project Re-Engineering Services for Health - Maximising Person Centred Care (RESHAPE-CARE). This is a development project to conduct preliminary work to support a proposal for an Innovation Hub bringing Systems Engineering into healthcare delivery. This project is a joint development between the faculties of engineering and health and jointly funded by NIHR and EPSRC.

With a PhD in a relevant quantitative discipline and experience of analysing anonymised electronic health data, you will be responsible for delivering the data science work package. Critically, you will be working with clinicians, health researchers and systems engineers and you will play a pivotal role in translating concepts and methods between these different groups.

The work will be to develop a set of processes to deconstruct care for Type 2 Diabetes and COPD into multiple items of care (e.g. a test, or a change in prescription) and use this to develop Bayesian networks examining how items of care interact to affect disease outcomes contained within this database. You will be working with the Connected Bradford database and while based in Sheffield, you will be expected to meet and work with the Connected Bradford team.

**For this role, you will**:

- Have strong experience of working with databases of routinely collected health data
- Show evidence of thinking creatively about data structures and analysis
- Be skilled in interdisciplinary collaboration and communication..
