Executive summary: The Oxford Biosecurity Group (OBG) is accepting applications for its third cycle of remote-first research projects focused on addressing biosecurity issues, and is looking to recruit both researchers and project leads.
Key points:
The OBG is running seven research projects from May 6 to June 28, 2024, in collaboration with various organizations, on topics like vital industry backup plans, biosecurity considerations of controlled human infection model studies, antimicrobial resistance, respirator stockpiles, and eliciting biological knowledge of AI models.
Researchers will spend 5-10 hours per week on their projects, and the OBG is primarily interested in recruiting undergraduates, postgraduates, and early career professionals with strong communication skills, independent work abilities, and a willingness to learn.
The OBG is also actively recruiting for a co-lead for the “Antimicrobial Surfaces for Pandemic Prevention” project, and is open to receiving proposals for future project cycles.
The application process consists of a 30-minute form and a 20-minute on-demand interview, with applications assessed on a rolling basis.
Outputs from each project include a final presentation, a final report, and in some cases, a co-authored peer-reviewed publication or a whitepaper.
The OBG aims to drive real-world impact through its partnerships with relevant organizations in the biosecurity space.
