You will be a visionary academic leader and active principal investigator, providing scientific and strategic leadership for kidney stone disease research within NDS and expanding the Oxford Stone Group. Using Oxford’s research environment and international networks, you will advance mechanistic and genomic discovery and drive early-phase and translational clinical studies. You will develop interdisciplinary programmes, secure external peer-reviewed funding, lead national and international collaborations, and translate discoveries into clinical application.
You will supervise and mentor postdoctoral scientists, DPhil/PhD students, clinical research fellows and academic trainees, and contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Clinically, you will be an active member of the OUH urology team, undertaking agreed activities in benign urology/kidney stone disease. A substantial proportion of protected academic time will be agreed within the job plan.
