Do you want to help us improve human health and understand life on Earth? Make your mark by shaping the future to enable or deliver life-changing science to solve some of humanity’s greatest challenges.

Join the Frontier of Human Genomics and Disease Prediction

Become a Group Leader at the Wellcome Sanger Institute

At the Wellcome Sanger Institute, we’re rethinking how human data can be used to understand, predict and ultimately change the course of disease. We’re hiring Group Leaders to join our Human Genetics Programme where large-scale cohorts, longitudinal multi-omics and patient data come together to power predictive models of health and disease.

About the Programme

Our mission is bold: to generate the datasets, build the predictive models and develop the causal understanding needed to predict, prevent and treat human disease. We design and generate large-scale, longitudinal multi-omic resources, tightly linked to detailed patient data, and use these to understand how genetic and environmental variation shape molecular states, trajectories and outcomes. We will use AI, machine learning, and robust causal inference methods to turn that understanding into better risk prediction, diagnosis and treatment, deriving openly accessible predictive models that are generalisable and transferable between populations and clinical contexts.
You’ll join a group of creative faculty comprising Carl Anderson, Emma Davenport, Matthew Hurles, Hilary Martin and Gosia Trynka, with strong links across the Institute’s diverse programmes — Cellular Genomics, Cancer, Ageing and Somatic Mutation,

,

, and

- as well as with Sanger

and

.

The programme offers sustained core funding, large-scale technology and informatics platforms and a genuinely collaborative, supportive working environment in the Cambridge–London science hub. If you’re excited by our ambitious mission and want to make a bold, personal contribution to it in an environment that values diverse perspectives and inclusive collaboration, we want to hear from you.

Who We’re Looking For:

We welcome applications from researchers with backgrounds in clinical medicine, human genetics, genomics and multi-omics, epidemiology, statistics, computer science, clinical informatics and AI/ML. We are keen to hear from both clinician scientists and non-clinical/basic scientists. We do not expect any individual to span all of the areas below; we are looking for depth and originality in one or more of them, together with a strong commitment to collaboration.

You might, for example, have expertise in:

• Human genetics and multi-omics for complex traits and diseases.

• Epidemiology and longitudinal cohort design and analysis.

• Electronic health records and real-world data science, including phenotyping and data linkage.

• Causal inference and statistical methods for target and biomarker prioritisation.

• Development and application of AI/ML and predictive modelling methods using multi-omic and clinical data.

Working pattern: Full-timeDuration of contract: Fixed-term contract

Application deadline:  6 February 2026

Start date: 1 August 2026

Enquiries: careers@uwcdilijan.am

View other vacancies at UWC Dilijan

UWC Dilijan – one of the 18 United World Colleges – is an intentionally diverse international boarding school in Armenia. It first opened its doors in August 2014 and now has more than 220 students (16 to 18 years old) from 70 countries, studying for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.

We believe that education is “a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future” (UWC Mission Statement). We are a caring learning community that aims to support the intellectual, moral, emotional, social, spiritual and physical development of our students following the UWC educational principles and values.

UWC Dilijan is also part of a wider network of organisations that work to transform Armenia, such as the IDeA Foundation, the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity, and the Foundation for Armenian Science and Technology.

UWC Dilijan is looking for an experienced and committed Assistant Head of Academic Development, reporting to the Head of School.

The Assistant Head of Academic Development (AHAD) works closely with the Head of School in all aspects of school life, advising and supporting him, representing his views both internally and externally as an ambassador for the school.

The approach should always be supportive, consultative and, as far as possible, democratic in the spirit of a liberal educational institution, taking into account requirements for the safety and well-being of members of a close-knit residential community and the smooth running and continuity of a complex organisation. A deep understanding of the needs of young people from diverse cultures and backgrounds underpins all that the AHAD does.

To perform the AHAD role to the full, it is necessary to pay attention to the current needs of the School while also being up-to-date in developments and research relevant to education in its widest sense, including, for example, advancements in psychology, neuroscience and technology, and being abreast of the global context within which we live.

• Department:Department of Politics
• Reporting to:Assistant Head (Director of Studies)
• Location:Highgate, North London
• Start:September 2026
• Closing Date:4 February 2026 at 8:00 am

Highgate is looking for an enthusiastic and inspiring Head of Politics, starting in September 2026. The position would suit an experienced teacher.

Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in Politics, or a related degree such as PPE, International Relations, etc. from a university with an excellent reputation for Politics. Applicants should be experienced Sixth Form teachers who demonstrate a profound and continuing academic interest in their subject and an enthusiasm for sharing this passion with pupils and colleagues. The successful candidate will have excellent managerial instincts, a commitment to professional development, an enthusiasm for learning, and the ability to reflect deeply on their practice.

The successful applicant will lead an experienced department of five teachers who regularly teach up to 100 pupils across the Sixth Form, making Politics one of the most popular subjects at A Level. The pupils currently follow the Edexcel specification, which covers UK Politics, Political ideologies, and US Politics. Outcomes in A-Level Politics are excellent, and well above national averages: in 2025, our Politics cohort of 28 achieved 57% A*/A. A majority of these pupils applied for Politics or a Politics related degree at university. Pupils regularly take up places at Oxford and Cambridge, as well as at overseas universities.

The Politics department runs a weekly programme of extension classes to Year 12 pupils (often collaborating with other Sixth Form departments) in the Lent term, introducing pupils to topics outside the scope of the A-level curriculum. This programme continues in Year 13 as a more bespoke mentoring programme for all Sixth Formers who intend to pursue Politics, or a related discipline, at university.

Colleagues in the department also have a significant co-curricular footprint, including the popular current affairs focused Masaryk Society (which attracts over 30 pupils from all years every week), the Lower School Politics Society, the annual pupil-led publication The Arbiter and running mock elections. New for 2026, colleagues in the Politics department will teach all Year 10 pupils an in-house 24-lesson course on Political Literacy.

The department is well equipped and resourced, with its own classrooms and dedicated office, which is shared with colleagues in the Economics and History of Art departments. Colleagues in this office are highly collaborative. All classrooms have large digital screens which connect wirelessly to teachers’ MS Surface devices. Members of the Politics Department can and do teach History or Economics, though the ability to teach another subject is neither a requirement, nor a recommendation, for this post.

Person Specification

Highgate School seeks to appoint teachers who will have, in addition to the professional qualities outlined below, the following proven personal qualities, or the potential to develop them. At interview, candidates will have the opportunity to demonstrate or give an account of these attributes.

• Profound and continuing interest in the academic subject/s to be taught.
• The depth of knowledge and agility of mind to allow flexibility in lessons, adapting delivery as appropriate in the light of pupils’ responses.
• Empathy with pupils across the age and ability spectrum at Highgate and the ability to implement a range of teaching strategies to cater for each individual pupil.
• Capacity to deal sensitively with problems raised by pupils, in line with Highgate’s pastoral policies and sanctions system, working in partnership with Highgate’s designated staff i/c pastoral care.
• Ability to create effective rapport and a sound relationship with pupils, earning their respect and trust but maintaining proper professional boundaries by not deliberately courting popularity or friendship.
• Dynamism and enthusiasm to contribute broadly to the life of a busy co- educational independent day school.
• Willingness to contribute to the extensive range of activities provided for pupils and to support them in their co-curricular pursuits.
• Capacity for industry and initiative in both independent work and as p...
