Jessica Hedge
PhD
Staff Development Coordinator
I am responsible for designing, implementing and evaluating a diverse programme of staff development activities across the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences. I help to lead the development and delivery of NDCN’s Athena SWAN action plan, which includes a range of initiatives to improve gender equality for staff and students within the department.
Prior to joining NDCN, I completed a PhD in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Edinburgh and held postdoctoral positions within the Nuffield Department of Medicine and Department of Zoology. My academic research focussed on the genomics of infectious disease evolution.
