Principal Statistician, Clinical Trials Research Unit, University of Leeds
Closing date: Friday 8th June
Do you have statistical experience in a medical environment and want to work for an Institute leading in clinical trials research and impacting clinical practice? Do you want to be part of a successful, highly talented, and multi-disciplinary team with international reach? Are you an enthusiastic, driven postgraduate with a major statistical qualification? Do you have considerable experience in early phase clinical trials?
The Clinical Trials Research Unit (CTRU) is an international leader in the field of clinical trials. The Unit is one of the largest in the UK and conducts national and international randomised and early phase clinical trials in a variety of clinical fields. Our main aim is to support the challenge of changing clinical practice for the better and our past results and current work have already helped to do this. Our results inform the development of this specialised field of clinical research on a national and international level. We are looking to expand our early phase cancer division by appointing a Principal Statistician to lead one of our growing early phase portfolios. You will provide the statistical strategic lead and supervision during the design and implementation for a number of phase I and II trials. You will be a talented and dynamic individual with a postgraduate qualification, including a major statistical component, and an interest in the development and evaluation of cancer treatments within early phase trials. You will have the opportunity to drive implementation of novel early phase trial designs within an active portfolio of cancer trials. You will work closely, interactively and collaboratively with a multidisciplinary project team, including statisticians, programmers, clinicians, health economists, health service researchers and trial managers. As such you will need excellent communication and interpersonal and time management skills. You will have considerable experience in early phase clinical trials, project management and people management skills, together with a nationally recognised research profile in clinical trials and medical statistics.
This role will provide you with an excellent opportunity to develop your career and national and international profile, enabling you to further broaden your expertise through methodological research within a supportive and stimulating environment with leadership opportunities; if applicable, you will also have the opportunity to register for a PhD.
