Research & Themes

In consultation with our partner institutions in the ESRC Genomics Network, and through our wider engagements, the Forum is working on 4 themed research programmes. These are designed to develop and build synergies within the ESRC Genomics Network (EGN), to identify and develop currently under-studied areas of research, and engage scientists and researchers nationally and internationally.

Each of the programmes has a particular concern for the policy questions which current and future developments will pose. These programmes will have a variety of outputs, but all aim to present scientifically informed and policy-relevant research to key national and international audiences.

The following work programmes are currently being pursued within the Forum:

Science, Technology and Innovation
Governance, Regulation and Public Interest
Biomedicine, Health and Identity
Transforming Nature

Research Opportunities

From time to time, we have short term vacancies associated with specific research programmes or activities. We welcome applications for these posts from candidates with a background in science, social science or a relevant policy interest. We are also happy to consider taking people on a secondment basis.

If you would like to be considered for any future research positions, please send your CV and any other relevant information to forum@genomicsnetwork.ac.uk
