Statistical Programmer/Statistician (Ref: 115527)
Grade 7: £30,434 – £37,394
The newly established University of Oxford Nuffield Department of Population Health (NDPH) contains world-renowned population health research groups and provides an excellent environment for multi-disciplinary research and teaching.
The very large-scale data that are emerging provide the opportunity for many exciting and extensive investigations, but require well-structured data manipulation and statistical programming to yield their full potential. We are seeking to recruit a statistical programmer/statistician with excellent programming skills and a good understanding of a range of statistical techniques, to develop statistical programming for investigations using large-scale resources. Cardiovascular disease is a major health burden and risks are increased with diabetes and kidney disease. The project will investigate inter-relationships between biomarkers, anthropometric measures, diabetes, kidney disease and cardiovascular disease in the large UK Biobank prospective study of 0.5M participants. The postholder will develop this line of statistical programming/analysis with a view to applying methods and performing comparisons across large biobank studies in diverse populations, such as in China and Mexico.
You will have a PhD or MSc in a numerate or computational discipline, a demonstrated record in statistical programming (for example in SAS or R) and be competent to develop your skills further.
This post provides an exciting opportunity to develop experience and expertise within a leading academic unit with an unrivalled reputation for promoting the use of large studies that can reliably identify findings important to population health.
The post is full-time and is fixed term for three years in the first instance.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 17 November 2014.
