(Full Time)

We are seeking a research statistician/epidemiologist to join the 
Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet), a national clinical 
audit of paediatric intensive care based at the Paediatric Epidemiology 
Group (PEG) and the University of Leicester.  The post-holder will work 
with the team who deal with data returns, validation, routine reporting and 
IT development.  The primary function of the post will be to analyse 
existing data, develop analytical methods, and, together with clinical and 
academic colleagues, provide collaborative support for use of the data in 
audit, research and clinical trials.  The post will involve contributions 
to the production of reports to sponsors and national bodies.

With effective interpersonal and communication skills, you will have a 
degree in statistics or related numerate discipline with a substantial 
statistical element or equivalent experience. Excellent time management 
skills and the ability to prioritise and work to tight deadlines are 
required for the role.

PICANet has been established since 2001, and this is an exciting 
opportunity to join a project that holds a large high quality clinical 
dataset on children admitted to intensive care in Great Britain.

The post is available for a fixed term of 12 months (with the possibility 
of extension dependent on funding). While the post is based on the 
University of Leeds campus, visits to other organisations will be required

University Grade 7 (£27,466 - £32,796 p.a.)
