Applications are invited for a Medical Statistician to join the CR-UK Support Team of the Centre for Statistics in Medicine (Director: Professor Doug Altman) at Wolfson College in Oxford. The Centre (21 staff including 15 statisticians) carries out collaborative medical research projects, a methodological research programme and teaching. Members of the Centre have a particular interest in randomised controlled trials, diagnostic accuracy studies and prognostic studies.
The support team provide expert statistical input into collaborative health research. Projects include phase II-III national and international randomised controlled trials and observational studies. The statistician typically collaborates directly with the lead researcher, taking responsibility for the design, analysis and clear interpretation in public dissemination whilst working to agreed deadlines. Many projects are in collaboration with OCTRU, a UKCRN Registered Clinical Trials Unit. We also carry out methodological research, offer statistical advice to researchers and run statistical courses.
The post holder would be expected to provide major input into a number of concurrent collaborative projects as the primary statistician and would deal directly with the multi-disciplinary project team.
The successful candidate should have a good (first or upper second) first degree, preferably with a large statistical component, a postgraduate degree in statistics, a substantial part of which relates to medical statistics or equivalent experience, several years experience working as a medical statistician, familiarity with key aspects of study design and analysis and awareness of the latest statistical techniques are essential. Specialist knowledge in all aspects of designing, running and analysing clinical trials is desirable
