Biostatistician
---------------
Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics Unit
Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) and University of Melbourne,
Melbourne, Australia
A new position is available for a biostatistician to join a team consisting
of a senior biostatistician (Director of Unit), a clinical epidemiologist
(Deputy Director), and two statistical research assistants, who comprise
the Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Unit at the Royal Children's
Hospital. The Unit is jointly supported by the MCRI and the University of
Melbourne Department of Paediatrics (located at the Royal Children's
Hospital), and is responsible for providing advice and support on research
design and analysis to researchers on the RCH campus. In particular, the
new biostatistician will be responsible for expert biostatistical advice
and analysis, teaching of basic statistical methods, and collaborating in
the conduct of high-quality research.
This position provides an exciting opportunity for a statistician to build
a career in health research. The RCH campus houses a large and active
research community, and the biostatistician can expect to be involved in a
wide range of stimulating and challenging problems relating to studies in
infectious disease, chronic disease, adolescent health, community child
health, basic laboratory science and genetics. The appointee will also be
strongly encouraged to develop their own independent research interests, in
an area or areas consistent with the Unit's work.
You will need to be able to demonstrate solid technical skills in
statistics, strong motivation for working in health research, and excellent
communication skills. Ideally you will have a PhD or equivalent
experience, but a training-level appointment for a strong Honours graduate
may be considered.
Salary according to qualifications and experience in the range $40-70,000,
plus generous packaging and superannuation options. Melbourne is a
world-class city offering excellent quality of life.
