Secondment opportunity: PeopleDotCom Ltd

Are you a PhD student or post-doctoral researcher interested in startups, scaleups and digital health? Do you have an interest in mapping and coding?

Translate MedTech are offering the opportunity to work with PeopleDotCom Ltd. They are seeking a PhD student, post-doctoral researcher or early career academic who is interested in mapping the digital health ecosystem.

The successful candidate will support PeopleDotCom in:

● interviewing digital start-up companies

● mapping and creating an architecture for how to navigate the digital ecosystem

● developing a specification for creating a marketplace and automating elements of the system for a digital platform to help companies get market ready

The successful candidate will have a systematic logical mindset, the ability to map systems and relationships within them, and be able to create a codified map as the starting point for a platform specification. The individual will be equally happy to work autonomously and as part of a small highly dedicated team.

Basic IT and research skills, as well as the ability to interact with different stakeholders (e.g. NHS, services users, industry, University) are expected as a minimum.

This opportunity is available at 1-3 days per week for up to three months and can be completed via remote and face-to-face collaboration – flexible to the applicant’s needs and COVID restrictions.
