We have a job in my group at Stevenage--see ad below. Note there is some flexibility about the mix of mainstream GSK and CTTV work. I'm happy to take informal inquiries about the job.

JOB - Statistical Consulting in Target Validation / Drug Discovery at GSK
An exciting opportunity is available to join the Statistical Consulting Group at GSK's research labs in Stevenage, working with drug discovery scientists to validate therapeutic targets, select lead compounds, and advance these compounds to the clinic. The selected candidate may also spend a substantial portion of time working with scientists in the Centre for Therapeutic Target Validation - a pioneering public-private research initiative between GSK, the European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute to use "big data" and genome sequencing to improve the success rate for discovering new medicines (www.targetvalidation.org). Statisticians can play a critical role in drug discovery, designing efficient experiments and analyzing data accurately to know which targets and compounds may provide therapeutic benefit.
The successful candidate will have an MSc or PhD in statistics or a related field, e.g. bioinformatics with an emphasis in statistics, good written and verbal communication skills, the ability to work with scientists from varied backgrounds, and an interest in advancing drug discovery. Previous experience designing and/or analyzing biological studies, is preferred, but new MSc or PhD graduates are also welcome to apply.
