UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM
DIVISION OF MEDICAL SCIENCES
BIRMINGHAM CLINICAL TRIALS UNIT (BCTU)
Medical Statistician/ Senior Medical Statistician
Applications are invited to join an expanding team to play a central role in the Unit's research. This new vacancy provides an exciting opportunity for a statistician wishing to develop their methodological expertise in clinical trial research within a successful, rapidly expanding research Unit. Duties will include designing trials and assessing their feasibility, development of data management systems and the analysis and reporting of trials. Meta-analyses of existing data, to provide reliable evidence on treatment efficacy and to identify 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 along with strong statistical and computing skills, a sound knowledge of statistical packages (preferably SAS), good attention to detail, the ability to work both independently and as part of a team, the ability to communicate statistical issues to non-statisticians and a desire to develop skills in applied medical statistics. Ideally, the Unit would like to appoint a statistician with previous experience of 'real-life' clinical trials and meta-analysis; however, candidates with less experience but with the potential to develop into high-class trial statisticians will also be considered.
