Advertised on www.StatsJobs.com
The MRC Epidemiology Unit is seeking to appoint a senior statistician to provide statistical expertise to the National Diet and Nutrition Surveys Rolling Programme (NDNS RP).
This position is based in the Unit’s statistical team. The successful candidate will lead the planning, production and reporting of statistical analyses of data from the UK NDNS RP, oversee and supervise the work of NDNS RP data analysts, providing statistical advice and support as required, and contribute to dissemination activities of NDNS RP. There will also be opportunities to provide statistical input into other MRC Epidemiology Unit research activities, including working with scientists in the Centre for Diet and Activity Research (CEDAR).
The MRC Epidemiology Unit is a department within the University of Cambridge’s School of Clinical Medicine and is situated within the Institute of Metabolic Science on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Its mission is to study the genetic, developmental and environmental factors that cause obesity, diabetes and related metabolic disorders and develop strategies for their prevention. The Unit benefits from a number of large-scale, cross programme epidemiological studies with detailed datasets allowing a wide range of research from genetics to public health. Highly experienced information teams and other specialist teams support the scientists in the delivery of their research aims.
The successful candidate will have a postgraduate qualification (e.g. MSc, PhD or equivalent) in a relevant subject area (e.g. statistics, epidemiology). Applicants will have experience of performing data analysis using statistical software (e.g. Stata, R) and be willing to learn and apply new and unfamiliar statistical methods. They will also be able to work within multi-disciplinary teams and explain statistical concepts to non-statisticians. Experience of analysing survey data is desirable, but not essential.
