Research Assistant/ Fellow in Statistical Epidemiology, Biostatistics Unit.
This post is available immediately for a fixed term of 3 years and offers an opportunity to research aspects of statistical modelling of observational data. The work will be conducted as part of the ongoing focus of the Biostatistics Unit to develop methods for the evaluation of complex data in the context of observational studies. Research will explore the role of various statistical modelling methods for cross-sectional and longitudinal data: functional data analysis and latent variable modelling methods, such as longitudinal latent class analysis and structural equation modelling. Methods will be evaluated for simulated and real data, the latter made available within the Centre/ Institute. With a minimum first degree in mathematics/statistics, you will also have computational skills, specifically in a range of statistical software packages such as R, Stata, LISREL, M-Plus. An existing publication record is desirable for Research Assistant, and essential for Research Fellow as well as a PhD. You will preferably have experience in the mathematical/statistical modelling of large and complex biomedical observational data.
