This unit, directed by Professor Richard Gray, is funded by the NHS to
undertake clinical research across a wide range of medical specialties. We
wish to appoint a statistician to join the expanding team and play a central
role, which will include: designing trials and assessing their feasibility,
development of data management systems, analysis and reporting of trials.
Meta-analyses of existing data, to provide reliable evidence on treatment
efficacy and to identify future key research questions, will also be
undertaken. A good class degree in statistics or other numerate discipline
is essential. Applicants should also have a postgraduate qualification or
at least 2 year's experience in applied statistics. We will also welcome
applications from experienced statisticians with a proved track record in
clinical trial and meta-analysis for a senior position. Applicants should
have strong statistical and computing skills, a sound knowledge of
statistical packages (preferably SAS), good attention to detail, the ability
to communicate statistical issues to non statisticians and a desire to
develop skills in applied statistics.
