The Medical Statistics Unit at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical
Medicine wishes to appoint a statistician to collaborate on Track-HD. Track-
HD is a multi-centre, multi-national prospective observational study in
Huntington’s Disease, whose objective is to quantitatively assess how a
range of markers of disease progression change over the natural course of
pre-manifest and early Huntington’s Disease: with a view to validating
these as potential outcome measures for use in future therapeutic trials.
The post is based at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,
but will involve extensive collaboration with other TRACK-HD researchers,
primarily those based at the Institute of Neurology, UCL but also with
colleagues at clinical centres in Paris, Leiden and Vancouver and
statisticians at Indiana University.
The post will also involve teaching of postgraduate students at the School.
The successful applicant requires an aptitude for both methodological and
applied research and statistical computing experience. Good communication
skills are a prerequisite. An MSc in statistics or equivalent is
essential, and experience of working in a research environment is desirable.
The appointment is available for thirty months with the possibility of
further extension. The salary will be in the range of £29,180 - £33,518 on
the School’s Research scale.
