Postdoctoral Statistician  - Research Statistics Group
Major Pharmaceutical Client

South East
£ Excellent Rate / hour - Strong potential to extend further


Working with a major pharmaceutical company, the Research Statistics comprises statisticians who apply statistical thinking and methods towards developing new medicines for human disease.  They support the late stage pre-clinical and early stage clinical activities in the pharmaceutical development process.

A postdoctoral research position is currently available for a statistician with a sound understanding of experimental design and linear mixed models. The primary focus of the position will be to support project teams in the design and analysis of studies run to assess the efficacy and safety of new chemical entities.  As part of a team, you will have the opportunity to obtain practical experience in the application of statistical theory, as well as help to assess the value of innovative approaches to study design and analysis.  We are currently assessing novel approaches for the handling of risk and uncertainty in decision making, Bayesian methods in the design and analysis of studies, as well as efficient ways to obtain maximum information from longitudinal studies.  Some time will be available for this postdoctoral statistician to research new statistical methodologies relevant to the issues they face.

A strong knowledge of statistical theory relevant to the design and analysis of experiments is essential.  Candidates will be required to work independently, as well as working closely and collaboratively with other members of the team to;

* Provide statistical input into the design, analysis and interpretation of studies run to assess the efficacy and safety of new chemical entities.
* Be responsible for the statistical aspects of protocols, analysis plans and reports written by the project teams.
* Liaise closely with other members of the project team to ensure study objectives can be met, and to communicate the results of work undertaken.
* Utilise expertise to help derive and assess new approaches to the design and analysis of experiments.
* Have and maintain skills and experience in the use of computing software appropriate for an applied statistician.
* Use the available literature critically to enhance understanding of relevant statistical methodologies, with objective of determining practical applications that add real value to our work.

The successful candidate will be either a recently qualified PhD or someone close to completion, with a demonstrable interest in the application of statistics to practical scientific problems.

* Experience in applying linear mixed models to real problems
* Experience in using at least one of the following packages: SAS, S+/R or Genstat.
* Record of presentations
* Expertise in their field of statistics
