MRC Clinical Trials Unit, London



HIV Group


Medical Statistician

Salary in the range of £22,856-£34,094 inc. dependent on experience

The HIV Group at the MRC Clinical Trials Unit coordinates a wide portfolio 
of randomised trials and other epidemiological studies in HIV infection, 
and has an established international reputation.  The Group currently 
numbers around 40 multidisciplinary staff, including 12 statisticians, and 
offers a stimulating work environment.

We wish to appoint a statistician to assist in the analysis and other 
statistical aspects of a cohort study of HIV infected children in the UK 
and Ireland, and a number of other studies.  The exact configuration of 
studies will be selected to give balance and variety appropriate for a new 
appointee.  Opportunities also exist for applied methodological research.

Candidates should have close familiarity with one or more statistical 
packages (e.g. Stata, SAS, SPLUS), have good communication skills, possess 
initiative, and be able to work effectively in a team. We are looking to 
appoint a candidate with, or about to obtain, an MSc or PhD in 
statistics.  Previous work experience in medical research would be an 
advantage.

Salary includes Location Allowance and Central London Supplement, and 
depends on qualifications and previous experience.  The post is available 
for two years in the first instance with a possibility of extension.

Benefits include 30 days annual leave, contributory final salary pension 
scheme and an interest free season ticket loan.
