**CERJ Post**:Assistant Professor of Biomedical Semantics**

The post-holder joins CERJ and the Institute of Cancer and Genomics Sciences by providing expertise and leadership in the research area of **semantic technologies applied to toxicology and human health **. The University of Birmingham has made significant investments in data science - and specifically health data science - on campus, currently exceeding £25 million in new purpose-designed life sciences computing infrastructure, ambitious recruitment and funding commitments to our national role in Health Data Research UK and the Alan Turing Institute. Moreover, Birmingham Health Partners - the strategic alliance between the University, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and Birmingham Women & Children’s NHS Foundation Trust - already underpins our role within health data science as well as several programmes, including the West Midlands Genomic Medicine Centre, the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, and our Wessex & West Midlands Genomics Laboratory Hub.

**About the Centre for Environmental Research and Justice (CERJ)**

The University of Birmingham (UoB) is creating a new Centre that combines 21st century life science and law to make the environment safe from toxic chemicals and to defend people's rights to a healthful environment. Its mission is to help remedy harm to human health and to the environment caused by pollution. Since 2012, UoB has championed a solution called **_Precision Toxicology _**. _It is an emerging scientific approach to environmental health protection by establishing causation between chemicals and their adverse health effects. _Environmental justice is achieved by improving evidence-based governance interventions. Unlike traditional academic pursuits which oftentimes divide global problems into research silos, this transdisciplinary research centre will proactively uncover - and ultimately break - the chains of cause and effect that link chemicals to human suffering and environmental depredations.

CERJ offers a different approach to environmental research and health protection, by combining the natural sciences, law, and education. **SCIENCE **comprises systems biology, environmental chemistry, ecology, quantitative genetics, genomics, metabolomics, evolutionary theory, high-performance computing, artificial & human intelligence, clinical science, and toxicology to make fundamental discoveries that also help in the shift to a new approach to regulatory science. **LAW **captures our society’s values and is used as a mediating institution capable of engaging people competing in the private sector with the significant institutions of public life. Law can operationalize the Centre’s scientific knowledge in decision-making. It can also explore the ethical and societal implications and considerations of how precision toxicology and associated scientific domains will evolve and be applied in risk management. **EDUCATION **is necessary for lasting solutions based on a common understanding among our future leaders, in all sectors, who make strategic decisions based on scientific facts and a shared co
