Working for our organisation
TwinsUK is the UK’s largest adult twin registry and the most clinically detailed in the world. Professor Tim Spector from King’s College London set up the cohort in 1992 to investigate the incidence of osteoporosis and other rheumatologic diseases in several hundred monozygotic (identical) twins. We now have over 15,000 identical and non-identical twins from across the UK, with ages between eighteen and one hundred and our research has expanded to include multiple diseases and conditions.
There are excellent opportunities for professional and personal development as part of this role, with access to some CPD funding. We provide a comprehensive induction programme and ensure that all staff have tailored, individual personal development plans with support for further training. Opportunities for developing new research and clinical skills are available and actively encouraged.
The usual working hours for the post are Monday to Friday 9am-5pm, although the post holder may need to be flexible to accommodate participants visits and assessments outside of these hours occasionally.
TwinsUK aims to investigate the genetic and environmental basis of a range of complex diseases and conditions. Current research includes the genetics of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, the musculoskeletal system, ageing, sight as well as how the microbiome affects human health. The TwinsUK cohort is now probably the most genotyped and phenotyped in the world.
