RESEARCH FELLOWS AND RESEARCH ASSISTANTS IN EPIDEMIOLOGY, MEDICAL 
STATISTICS OR BIOINFORMATICS

3 full time posts (or equivalent part time)

We are seeking to appoint three complementary posts in support of the 
division's active research programme in cardiovascular, respiratory & 
environmental, lifecourse & genetic, and primary care epidemiology. Each 
appointment will be for 24 months in the first instance and is offered 
as full time, but may be configured as a combination of two half-time 
appointments.

Ref: 506/06 - Research Fellow in cardiovascular and diabetes epidemiology

The Research Fellow will use quantitative systematic reviews to define 
the role of early life exposures (e.g. infant feeding pattern) on the 
later development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.  We are 
seeking an energetic epidemiologist or statistician to help conduct 
reviews under the supervision of the project leaders.  The post would 
suit applicants with a Masters level qualification in epidemiology or 
biostatistics or a closely related discipline, ideally with some 
relevant postgraduate experience.   The appointment will be on the RA1A 
scale up to £32,395 pa inc depending on qualifications and experience.

Ref: 505/06 - Medical Statistician/ Bioinformatician

This new post will support a rapidly growing programme of work in 
genetic epidemiology, based on a national DNA collection from the 
British 1958 birth cohort. As a result of existing collaborations, 
genotype data for over 1 million SNPs on 1500 DNA samples (up to 8000 
DNAs for some SNPs) will be deposited at St George's during 2006. We are 
seeking an enthusiastic medical statistician or bioinformatician to 
assist with the management and annotation of this database and to 
explore both methodological and epidemiological issues relating to the 
genetic architecture of complex biomedical traits. The post would suit 
applicants with a Masters level qualification in biostatistics, 
bioinformatics or a related discipline, and some experience with 
handling complex genetic datasets and/or online databases. Appointment 
will be on the RA1B scale up to £24,682 pa inc depending upon experience 
and qualifications. 

<>Ref: 507/06 - Statistical Assistant in respiratory & environmental 
epidemiology

This post will provide statistical support for the analysis of projects 
relating to respiratory and air pollution epidemiology. We are seeking 
an enthusiastic statistician who, ideally would have experience in 
systematic reviews and meta-analysis and a working knowledge of STATA.  
The post would suit someone with an MSc or equivalent qualification in 
biostatistics or a related discipline. Appointment will be on the 
RA1B/RAIA scale up to £28,863 pa depending on experience and 
qualifications. 

<>Informal enquiries about any of the three posts will be welcomed by
