MH&N Clinical Trials Unit
Applications are invited for a Statistician to join the Institute's Mental
Health and Neurology Clinical Trials Unit (MH&N CTU). The unit was
established in 2002 with the aim of becoming a centre of excellence for
clinical trials, meta-analyses and related methodological research in
mental health and the neurosciences. It has close links with the
Institute’s Biostatistics and Computing Department and the MRC Clinical
Trials Unit. The post holders will be expected to contribute to the
statistical support and collaborative functions of the unit. In addition,
the post holders may participate in the teaching programme of the
Biostatistics and Computing Department.
Applicants should have an interest in clinical trials and experience with
statistical packages such as SPSS, STATA and S-Plus is essential.

holders will need to become involved in the design and set up phase of
trials and considerable negotiation with research teams is required to
ensure trials are structured to the appropriate regulatory and academic
standards. Ideally applicants should have a postgraduate qualification in
medical or applied statistics, and preferably one or more years of
experience working
as an applied statistician.
Starting salary in the range £25,505 pa to £32,325 pa (inclusive of
