Charles Rahal is an Associate Professor of Data Science and Informatics at Oxford Population Health, where he sits on the Senior Management Board of the Demographic Science Unit. A former British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, he maintains various open and interactive online projects, such as the GWAS Diversity Monitor and RobustiPy. He is active in the Open Science movement (helping to lead Oxford’s work on Reproducibility through RROx and URKN), and also acts as a Co-Investigator\Principal Investigator on various projects across the University (UKRI and otherwise). He sits on a Methods Advisory Group for the Office for National Statistics, consults for the Banco de la República, and is fortunate enough to be both an Associate Member at Nuffield College and an Affiliate Researcher at the Public Knowledge Project. His work has been widely published in leading general interest and subject specific journals, including but not limited to Nature Computational Science, Nature Climate Change, Nature Genetics, Nature Human Behaviour, the American Sociological Review, and the International Journal of Epidemiology. His work on non-profits specifically revolves around the relationship between third sector organisations, public service commissioning, and the financing of non-governmental organisations more broadly.
