Medical Statistician
The Institute of Cancer Research
CLINICAL TRIALS AND STATISTICS UNIT (ICR-CTSU)
Section of Clinical Trials
SUTTON, SURREY
The Clinical Trials and Statistics Unit (ICR-CTSU) is based at the Sutton site of the Institute of Cancer Research which, together with the adjacent Royal Marsden NHS Trust, is one of the world's leading comprehensive cancer research centres.
The ICR-CTSU is one of nine UK National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) accredited trials units. Our aim is to initiate, conduct and analyse national and international randomised clinical trials of cancer treatments designed to have a direct influence on routine clinical practice within the National Health Service. Widespread participation and national collaboration are essential for such trials to succeed; therefore close links with other cancer trials offices and clinical centres throughout the UK are central to the working practices of the ICR-CTSU. Over 100 UK hospitals participate in trials currently run by the ICR-CTSU, many centres entering patients into several trials. Our main interest and expertise is in early breast cancer where we are responsible for a major component of the UK's portfolio of academic-led non-surgical phase III trials of adjuvant systemic and local therapy. We also have an expanding portfolio of urology trials and of radiotherapy technology trials.
The ICR-CTSU currently employs more than 50 staff including eight statisticians, trials managers/co-coordinators and research, IT and administrative support staff.
The ICR-CTSU works closely with chief investigators at the Royal Marsden NHS Trust and other leading medical institutions throughout the UK as well as with the national expert NCRI Clinical Studies Groups. Close collaboration also exists with European clinical trials groups.
Whilst Sutton itself contains a large range of shopping and entertainment facilities, it is situated within an easy commute of central London and has excellent train and bus links. Gatwick Airport is approximately 30 minutes away by car. Sutton is also close to the North Downs, an area with pleasant walks and a wide range of outdoor activities.
The closing date for this position is 13 May 2008. Interviews will be held shortly after this date.
