We ultimately aim to develop an 'always-on global pathogen metagenomics system with the ability to identify Pathogen X and provide early warning of disease epidemics.' 

Built by a long-established world-leading pathogen genomics team from the University of Oxford, supported by the cloud computing scale and security of Oracle Inc, and generously funded by Larry Ellison, GPAS is a global, turn-key solution that systematizes how data from genomic sequencing is processed.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including academics, clinicians, business personal to better understand the differing value of pathogen data acquisition to inform academic collaborations.  
  • Liaise with academic institutes for product feedback and advice. 
  • Be innovative and take the initiative to introduce new ideas and approaches.  
  • Represent GPAS externally at events and meetings relevant to academic or commercial partnerships and promote a positive and consistent reputation for GPAS both in the UK and abroad.

  • Experience and a track record of delivering success through academic collaborative partnerships. 
  • Proven leadership and management skills and excellent communication skills. 
  • Ability to work effectively in a high-growth, fast-paced, dynamic environment. 
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills, as well as interpersonal skills and the ability to work with a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds. 
  • Ability to manage allocated budgets effectively.
