Apologies for cross posting. (Please note short closing date for applications for this post).
Research Associate in Biostatistics
Division of Epidemiology, Public Health and Primary Care
Department of Epidemiology and Public Health
Salary: £23,850 - £34,750
Imperial College is ranked in the top ten universities of the world,
according to the 2006 Times Higher Education Supplement league tables.
We would like to appoint a Research Associate in Biostatisitcs to work
within the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at the St Mary's
campus, Paddington.
You will join the research team at the Imperial College node of the ESRC
National Centre for Research Methods (www.ncrm.ac.uk) to carry out
leading edge research in statistical methodology applied to social and
health sciences. The overall theme of the project is to develop an
analytic framework based on Bayesian graphical and hierarchical models
for combining data from multiple sources, in order to reduce bias and
enhance the value of inferences from observational data. You will
contribute to statistical methodological developments and applications
in one or more of the sub-projects been carried out within this overall
theme (see project web site for further details: www.bias-project.org.uk).
You will be supervised jointly by Professor Nicky Best and Professor
Sylvia Richardson and will be based in the internationally-renowned
Biostatistics group within the Department of Epidemiology and Public
Health at Imperial. This group is at the cutting edge of applications
and developments in Bayesian hierarchical modelling, spatial statistics,
and statistical methods in epidemiology, genetics and social science.
You will have a PhD in statistics or a related quantitative subject and
be keen to develop your research career as an applied statistician. You
will have knowledge of the major statistical packages and experience of
carrying out applied data analysis. Previous experience of modern
statistical modelling techniques, especially Bayesian hierarchical
models, multi-level modelling and casual inference would be an
advantage, as would experience of using the WinBUGS software.
This post is full-time and available until 31 March 2008 in the first
instance.
