Applications are invited for a research associate to work on a project
characterising dimensions of bias in non-randomized studies to assess their
suitability for evaluating the effects of healthcare interventions. The
main activities will be the identification, appraisal and analysis of
primary studies evaluating healthcare interventions. The project is funded
by the NHS Methodology Research Programme and builds on a previous UK HTA
review of non-randomised studies undertaken by the Centre. The project will
be undertaken in co-ordination with a linked project at the University of
Bristol assessing dimensions in bias in randomized trials, and involves
collaboration with international experts in the field.
The post holder will be based at the Centre for Statistics in Medicine at
Wolfson College in North Oxford, and will be expected to travel
occasionally to Bristol for project meetings. Ideal applicants will have a
quantitative or health science postgraduate degree, practical experience of
completing research projects, experience of critical appraisal and database
management, familiarity with trial design and systematic reviews, and
excellent communication and organisational skills. The appointment will be
for 18 months. The salary will be between £19,460 and £24,820 with a
discretionary range up to £30,363 depending on qualifications and experience.
