MRC Midland Hub for Trials Methodology Research at University of Birmingham
Senior Biostatistician / Biostatistician for Trials Methodology Research
The Midland Hub for Trials Methodology Research based at the University of Birmingham is one of a national network of seven hubs funded as an exciting new initiative by the Medical Research Council. As a centre of excellence for trials methodology research, we provide local and national researchers undertaking trials with innovative methodology for design, conduct, analysis and synthesis thereby improving the quality of trials and ultimately patient care.
The Midland Hub has funding for one Senior Biostatistician and two Biostatisticians for Trials Methodology Research to start in mid 2009 at the University of Birmingham. The team of Biostatisticians will work on projects from within the Hub's research programme and in response to queries raised by the trials community. They will review and develop areas of trials methodology, disseminating best practice through publications and presentations. They will contribute to an advice facility for trial practitioners and a training programme in trials methodology.
Biostatisticians will have the opportunity to work with Hub Investigators from across the University who are leading experts in trials methodology. They will collaborate with the five PhD students funded by the Hub and other researchers across the region and the national network of Hubs.
We will be seeking applications from individuals who have a background in medical statistics, clinical trials and health care evaluation or other relevant area. We would be happy to consider the part-time or full-time secondment of Biostatisticians working within Clinical Trials Units. Opportunities exist for members of the team to pursue their own research interests and carry out post-graduate qualifications.
