Research Assistant in Evidence Synthesis
University of Bristol, School of Social and Community Medicine
This post offers an opportunity for a keen researcher with an interest in advanced evidence synthesis methods to work on a range of applied and methodological projects in Bayesian Evidence Synthesis. The post holder will work in collaboration with others to develop advanced evidence synthesis methods in a number of areas. Among the topic of interest are methods for: missing data; relative responsiveness of test instruments; alternatives to standardisation; and sensitivity of network meta-analysis to changes in data inputs. The post-holder would be encouraged to develop their own additional lines of research.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience of a wide range of Bayesian methods for synthesis and their application to different clinical areas. There would opportunities to collaborate in the activities of the NICE Clinical Guidelines Technical Support Unit, hosted in the School, giving the post-holder experience of the application of evidence synthesis in clinical decision making. There would also be opportunities to contribute to the short course on Indirect and Mixed Treatment Comparisons.
The post holder will be based in Bristol, and work under the direction of Dr. Sofia Dias, Prof. Tony Ades and Dr. Nicky Welton, and will join a team of statisticians working on a programme of research on multi-parameter evidence synthesis in decision modelling and epidemiology (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/social-community-medicine/projects/mpes/), which is part of the Centre for Research Synthesis and Decision Making (CReSyDa) (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/social-community-medicine/centres/cresyda/).
