Investigator Statistician
MRC Biostatistics Unit
Cambridge
3 years Fixed Term Post
£27,355-£32,648 per annum
One post in the MRC Biostatistics Unit Hub for Trials Methodology Research: Cambridge, UK.
The MRC Biostatistics Unit is one of Europe's leading biostatistics research institutions. We have one of the founding hubs for trials methodology research and have a large group of adaptive clinical trial design researchers. Our adaptive designs group has developed methods in a variety of areas including: dose-escalation designs for Phase I, early experimental designs for response-adaptive dose-ranging designs, optimal multi-arm multi-stage designs and more recently biomarker-driven adaptive trials.
We have recently been involved as a co-applicant in a successful grant application to the Innovative Medicines Initiative to investigate novel trial designs within type I diabetes. Part of your role will be to model longitudinal measurements of biomarkers within children, who have elevated risk of disease progression. These data may contribute to the development of novel intermediate biomarkers that would be of great use within the eventual design of trials. New trial designs will be developed that can use the longitudinal modelling information combined with intervention studies that find the best doses or treatments within a small experimental setting.
We now seek an Investigator Statistician (band 4) to support this grant activity. There will be numerous meetings within Europe as the work will contribute to one work package within this European collaboration. You will need a PhD in Statistics or a relevant subject, or be in the final stages of obtaining your PhD.
Starting salary will be in the range of £27,355-£32,648 per annum, supported by a flexible pay and reward policy, 30 days annual leave entitlement, and an optional MRC final salary Pension Scheme.
The MRC is a unique working environment where our researchers are rewarded by world class innovation and collaboration opportunities that the MRC name brings. Choosing to come to work at the MRC means that you will have access to a whole host of benefits from a final salary pension scheme and excellent holiday entitlement to access to employee shopping/travel discounts and salary sacrifice cycle to work scheme and childcare vouchers, as well as the chance to put the MRC on your CV in the future.
