MEDICAL STATISTICIAN
(Dept of Clinical Neurosciences, Stroke Research Group, University of
Edinburgh) Salary scale £17,451 - £26,229
We are seeking a practically-minded, enthusiastic and innovative
medical statistician to work in an interdisciplinary stroke research
group on a multicentre collaborative project entitled “Accurate,
practical and cost effective assessment of carotid stenosis in the
UK”. The project is funded by the Health Technology Assessment Panel
of the NHS R and D Board. The successful applicant would undertake a
systematic review to determine the accuracy of diagnostic imaging
tests in diagnosing carotid artery disease to prevent stroke
(including using unpublished patient data from participating
centres), so that the study health economist can model the cost
effectiveness of different diagnostic pathways. The post is based in
Edinburgh, but will require close liaison with clinicians,
radiologists, statisticians and health economists in Sheffield,
Oxford, Cambridge, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool and Middlesborough.
There will be opportunities to develop an interest in the design and
conduct of systematic reviews of diagnostic tests, and of
observational studies using imaging.
A good Honours degree in statistics, public health (or a related
subject with statistics as the major component), and at least two
years experience of statistical work in a health-related area or a
further postgraduate qualification (e.g. MSc or PhD) is required.
The post is available NOW. Funding is for three years in the first
instance. Salary scale: £17,451 - £26,229 p.a. Please contact:
