EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR A SURVEY STATISTICIAN
The Survey Methods Unit at The National Centre for Social Research is
looking to recruit a Senior Statistician to work on the design and analysis
of social surveys. The post would involve work in the areas of sample
design, methodological experimentation and analysis/reporting of survey
data. There will also be opportunities for teaching. We may make an
appointment at Research Director level if the applicant had exceptional
experience.
Candidates for the post would be expected to have a Master’s degree in
Statistics, Social Statistics or a closely related discipline and/or
Chartered Statistician status, and at least five years of relevant
professional experience of survey statistics. This includes experience
gained in academia, government, other public sector, voluntary sector or
market research settings. Candidates would be expected to be familiar with
SPSS, Stata or a similar statistical package. The ability to work well
under pressure and to manage deadlines is essential.
The post is based at NatCen’s head office in London EC1. The successful
candidate will form part of a team of twelve professionals in the Survey
Methods Unit. The Unit provides advice and support to the quantitative
research teams at NatCen, mainly on design and analysis issues. In
addition, the Unit undertakes original methodological research and
disseminates good practice and research findings in the field of survey
methods.
Initial salary is dependent on experience but it is likely to be in the
range of £27-£37K. The National Centre offers favourable terms of
employment (including generous holiday entitlement, an excellent pension
