HDR UK isuniting the UKs Health Data to make discoveries that improve peoples lives.Our vision is that every health and care interaction and research endeavour will be enhanced by access to large scale data and advanced analytics. For the first time we are bringing together our unique nationwide data assets and specialists across academia, research and healthcare to unlock knowledge and deliver new insights from molecule to man. By undertaking research at scale, across a population of up to 66 million people, we have an unrivalled opportunity to use data to the highest ethical standards to drive breakthroughs in medical research. This unleashes the potential to improve the way we are able to prevent, detect and diagnose diseases such as cancer, heart disease and asthma.In response to the Life Sciences Industrial Strategy, the UK Government committed £37.5m to the Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) Programme which supports the use of data for research and innovation purposes. Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) is leading the delivery of the DIH Programme.At Health Data Research UK, we employ talented individuals who bring their own unique skills and experience to support the vision and benefit the whole team. About the International AllianceThe International COVID-19 Data Research Alliance, supported by the COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator (Gates Foundation, Wellcome, Minderoo Foundation and other international funders) aims to unite data from international clinical trials, biomedical and health research to enable discoveries that benefit all people, everywhere, by reducing the harm of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Alliance will do this by building trustworthy international partnerships, and enduring data infrastructure, to support a rapid response to the current COVID-19 and future pandemics across the worldTo achieve this, we will:

  • Learn from, and bring together, existing initiatives
  • Work in partnership with data stewards, data contributors and data users from across five continents, at scale, with a specific emphasis on low- and middle-income countries
  • Promote and facilitate open research that allows sharing of data, analysis methods, results and re deposition to support knowledge acquisition.
    • To accomplish this, we will develop an inclusive International COVID-19 Data Research Alliance that will work with funders, academia, industry and Governments to maintain the integrity of a trustworthy ecosystem for data sharing of COVID-19 data internationally. The Alliance will not primarily control data but will provide expertise and stewardship of a trusted governance and data infrastructure that will facilitate a rapid response to COVID-19 and future Zoonotic Disease outbreaksPurpose of the PostThis is an exciting and unique leadership opportunity in one of the most dynamic sectors in the UK.

  • Develop an efficient data onboarding process
  • Set up mechanisms that facilitate comparability of data across multiple types of data
  • Ensure transparency, credibility and trust at every stage of the process
  • Evaluate and report on the success and usage levels of the platform.
    • The successful candidate will ensure that the Workbench reflects the needs of its user base and brings together all the necessary components and is delivered through best of breed capability to expand on search capability including support for deep semantic search, enable federated analytics, linking of de-identified datasets from different data controllers without requiring the datasets to be co-located and integration into a range of trusted research environments.The execution of this platform will require a coordinated approach with multiple stakeholders including technology platform, applications, data controllers. It must also be highly customer and stakeholder focused to ensure that the platform is fit for purpose.At the same time, a number of "Driver Projects" have been identified - these are designed to deliver tangible outputs of significant impact on the COVID pandemic in the near term. They will also help inform the design and functioning of the platform. A key challenge will be to ensure continued alignment across the needs of the overall platform and the imperatives of the Driver Projects to ensure that the platform both delivers short term benefits and is designed to be fit for purpose for longer term usage by the COVID research community.Main Responsibilities
