UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE
CENTRE FOR APPLIED MEDICAL STATISTICS
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE
RESEARCH ASSISTANT/RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
£19460-£21640 pa (Assistant) £19460-£29127 pa (Associate)
Limit of tenure: 30 September 2007
Applications are invited for a Medical Statistician in the Centre for
Applied Medical Statistics (CAMS) within the University of Cambridge's
Department of Public Health and Primary Care. The post is NHS-funded to
provide statistical support to a broad range of clinical researchers within
the University Clinical School and more widely throughout the NHS Eastern
Region. We seek an individual able to work in a multi-disciplinary team and
who has excellent communication skills to explain clearly, statistical
concepts to clinicians.
Applicants should have a higher degree in (preferably, medical or applied)
statistics and, at least for the level of Research Associate, some
experience in consulting, collaborating and teaching, and preferably a
relevant PhD. The main duties are to act as a statistical consultant and
collaborator to a wide range of University and NHS clinical researchers
working in and around Cambridge, meaning there is an attractive variety of
people, projects, disease areas and data sets to be encountered. The post
will involve developing or participating in short course teaching on
statistical issues to audiences from health-related backgrounds. The post
offers excellent opportunities for personal development, including applied
methodological research, perhaps jointly with MRC Biostatistics Unit
statisticians, also housed in the Institute of Public Health, located
adjacent to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge. Other activities within CAMS
include occasional statistical reviewing of papers submitted to The Lancet,
as well as for specialist biomedical journals.
The appointment is at the level of either Research Assistant or Research
Associate, depending on qualifications and experience. The post is
available to start from 1 April with exact starting date to be negotiated.
Those currently completing graduate courses are also invited to apply as we
are prepared to wait for the right candidate.
