We are seeking a dynamic post-doctoral researcher to spearhead Numan’s clinical research and programme evaluation initiatives. You will work closely with our medical, product, and growth teams to validate the efficacy of our digital health interventions and contribute to the scientific foundations of our offerings.

You will:

• Lead Numan’s research strategy by identifying and prioritising key research areas that expand knowledge in obesity management and behaviour science, digital health, testosterone deficiency and other focus areas.
• Lead clinical and behavioural science research into Numan’s AI capability using both qualitative and quantitative measures. 
• Incorporate cross-functional teams in conducting clinical research including Clinical, Behavioural Medicine, Data Analytics, Growth, and Product teams.  
• Develop a research plan that supports Numan’s wider goals including both retrospective and prospective activities. 
• Develop, track and report key performance indicators for research activities.
• Design, execute and project manage all aspects of research projects, surveys, and studies that evaluate the effectiveness and impact of Numan’s digital health programmes.
• Ensure that study protocols are in compliance with all data and legal regulations including seeking ethical approval (if appropriate). 
• Collect and interpret data, generating actionable insights that inform both clinical practice and business strategy.
• Work iteratively, refining research methodologies to ensure robust and impactful findings.
• Lead the dissemination of research findings internally and externally, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, poster presentations and presenting at conferences to position Numan as a thought leader.
• From research findings, develop thought leadership articles for both the professional and lay audiences.
• Support the wider team in disseminating evidence-based, data driven communications (web, social, marketing). 
• Conduct and analyse qualitative research (e.g. interviews, surveys).
• Develop, establish, and promote research at Numan to support its vision of becoming a leading centre of excellence in healthcare research.

We’re looking for someone who has:

• Extensive postdoctoral experience in a relevant field such as obesity management, clinical research, epidemiology, men’s health or health data science.
• Proven experience in conducting and managing clinical research, particularly in areas related to obesity, endocrinology, or chronic health conditions.
• A strong track record of conducting large-scale literature reviews and synthesising evidence.
• Demonstrated ability to publish and present research in high-impact journals and conferences.
• The ability to work independently, manage multiple research projects, and collaborate across teams in a fast-paced startup environment.
• A proven record in writing and publishing high quality research papers for both peer reviewed and non peer reviewed journals.
• Experience in obtaining ethical approval for studies.

It’s a bonus if you have:

• Experience in statistical analysis: hypothesis testing, mixed effect models, regression analysis, etc.
• Proficiency in R, Python, or other statistical programming languages.
• Experience in data extraction and manipulation with SQL (preferred but not essential).
• Academic institutional relationships
