Clinical Research Centre at Central Hospital Västerås
Uppsala University
is looking for
a full-time biostatistician
for a position in the research team
The Clinical Research Centre, at the Central Hospital, Västerås
(http://www.ltvastmanland.se/)
is a multi-discipline institution of the Faculty of Medicine at Uppsala
University.
Västerås is situated 120 km from Stockholm (less than one hour by train).
The centre currently includes 10 senior researchers, 12 doctoral students, 3
research assistants, and 3 secretaries. Our research covers a broad spectrum
of clinical and epidemiological fields including cancer, psychiatry,
cardiovascular diseases, primary health care and physiology. We collaborate
with the majority of universities in Sweden.
We currently have an opening for a senior biostatistician to replace our
senior biostatistician who retires this year. The successful applicant is
expected to closely collaborate with epidemiologists and clinicians and to
take the lead on issues of statistical design, analysis and reporting of
studies at the Centre. An important part of the work is supervision and
teaching of statistical issues. While the primary role of the position is to
provide statistical support within the Centre, opportunities exist for
independent research in collaboration with the Department of Medical
Epidemiology (MEP) at Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, with whom we have a
close collaboration. The MEP biostatistics group, led by Professor Juni
Palmgren, comprises 7 Ph.D. level statisticians, 7 masters’ level
statisticians and 4 statistics doctoral students. Good opportunities exist
for research and further education. The successful applicant may have the
opportunity to work with the MEP biostatistics group in Stockholm two days a
week. We welcome applications from individuals with formal training in
statistics who are interested in working in a dynamic, creative and broad
research environment. Experience in medical research, epidemiology or SPSS
programming is advantageous.
