Fantastic new scheme and position from @wellcometrust, a PhD exploring race, equity and good research practice. The language of genetics with regards to populations is confusing and confused, and this is a step towards fixing that.https://bit.ly/2O0Ag9Q

I don't know. I'm pretty interested in this. I worked with David Lammy around issues with discrimination, I've also founded an AI company that developed ML models, etc. Who's the best person to talk to?

@Genomethics in the first instance as the primary supervisor. The position will also have supervision from the Director's Office in order to ensure the findings can directly feed into our new Research Culture project and influence our policies.1 odpowiedź 0 podanych dalej 1 polubiony -

We're looking at our research culture and how we can create the best environment for our science and scientists to flourish. We're hoping this PhD will be able directly influence how we do our science.

Does that suggest you're trying to address inequality within the department?

As a large scale genomics institute we want to understand if, how and when we should collect ethnicity data and how that data should be used. It's a complex issue and we want to do it thoughtfully in order to ensure our science is both representative and of benefit.

I appreciate that. There's a lot of areas for bias, especially when dealing with racial data due to the historical context. Separately socioeconomic factors need to be considered, (which usually aren't), to negate confounders. (They will impact epigenetic variables).
