Centre for Statistics in Medicine, Oxford
Medical Statistician (two posts)
The Centre for Statistics in Medicine in Oxford carries out collaborative
medical research projects, a methodological research programme, and
teaching. Members of the Centre have a particular interest in randomised
trials, systematic reviews, and diagnostic studies. The Centre currently
includes 16 statisticians and other researchers. The Centre is affiliated
to the Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine. Further information about
the activities of the Centre can be found on www.ihs.ox.ac.uk\csm.
We are seeking two medical statisticians. Their main role will be to
collaborate with medical researchers in a wide range of areas and to
participate in applied statistics research. There will also be some
contribution to a local statistical consultancy scheme. In addition, the
postholders may contribute to the department's postgraduate teaching
programme.
One post could be at senior medical statistician level for a suitable
candidate. Such an appointee will be expected to develop their own research
programme, possibly in collaboration with other members of the CSM.
Applicants should ideally have a postgraduate qualification in medical
statistics (or a closely related subject), and preferably at least 1 or 2
years experience in the analysis of medical studies. Experience in the use
of statistical packages is essential.
The appointments will be for two years in the first instance. Salary in the
range £19990 to £34640 p.a. depending on qualifications and experience, but
possibly more for a highly qualified person. The posts are available
immediately.
Further written details about the posts and application forms can be
obtained from Tracy Edwards, Centre for Statistics in Medicine, Institute
of Health Sciences, Old Road, Headington, Oxford OX3 7LF (01865 226996).
