Statistician (vacancy ref. 8904) ALSPAC, University of Bristol
The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), based in
Bristol, is an ongoing population-based study specifically designed to
determine ways in which genetic, environmental and other influences affect
the health and development of individuals. This unique study enrolled
approximately 14,000 pregnancies between 1991 and 1992. The study links
together information from a variety of sources, including hands-on
examinations of the children, questionnaires completed by parents, health
records, assays of biological samples and specific measures of the
environment in the home. This extensive wealth of data together with the
establishment of a DNA bank makes this study an international resource. To
date the study has published over 130 papers in peer-reviewed journals. The
study unit is an MRC co-operative group and has also secured substantial
core funding from the Wellcome Trust. The study has an in-house team of
statisticians and researchers and a large number of external collaborators,
from a variety of disciplines.
We are looking for an individual to join the existing team who will
primarily perform statistical analyses as well as provide support for ALSPAC
collaborators.
