We are currently recruiting two Postdoctoral Research Fellows and one Clinical Research Training Fellow as part of the Novo Nordisk fellowship programme at the University of Oxford.
Applications are invited from basic scientists and clinicians wishing to undertake research with a focus on diabetes. Each fellowship is fully funded for three years. These prestigious fellowships are open to outstanding candidates of any nationality.
Please note that: Applicants for the postdoctoral fellowships must be no more than 3 years post PhD at the start of the fellowship (Spring 2017), and that the funding provided for the Clinical Research Training Fellowship will only cover home/EU PhD (DPhil) fees.
The following eight projects are available as part of the fellowship programme:
| Principal Investigator | Project Title |
| Associate Prof Damian Tyler | Assessing the cardiovascular impact of novel diabetic treatments using hyperpolarized magnetic resonance |
| Associate Prof Angelyn Bethel, Associate Prof Louise Bowman & Prof Simon Griffin | Can electronic health records improve the efficiency of large clinical trials? |
| Associate Prof Charalambos Antoniades & Prof Keith Channon | Exploring a novel signalling in “dysfunctional” adipose tissue, mediating the cardiovascular complications of diabetes |
| Associate Prof Leanne Hodson & Prof Fredrik Karpe | Mechanisms by which weight gain impairs adipose tissue function |
| Prof Anna Gloyn & Associate Prof Wyatt Yue | Translating basic science to therapy for novel diabetes targets |
| Prof Jeremy Tomlinson & Prof Fredrik Karpe | Understanding adipose tissue dysfunction as a driver of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease |
| Associate Prof Angelyn Bethel, Associate Prof Louise Bowman & Associate Prof Jemma Hopewell | Using statistical techniques to inform a risk-based approach to clinical trial management |
