The Medical Statistics group, based in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Plymouth, provides a methodological platform and support for large-scale and wide-ranging clinical trials and research projects.

We have established networks with local collaborators, including the UKCRC-registered Peninsula Clinical Trials Unit (PenCTU<https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/your-university/about-us/university-structure/faculties/medicine-dentistry/pupsmd-research/penctu>), local NHS providers, NIHR Research Design Service (RDS) South West<https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/your-university/about-us/university-structure/faculties/medicine-dentistry/pupsmd-research/the-research-design-service-rds> and University of Plymouth School of Computing, Electronics & Mathematics, as well as with research groups nationally and internationally. The group has hosted the Down's Syndrome screening Quality Assurance Support Service (DQASS) since its inception in 2006. We are now looking to recruit highly motivated statisticians with expertise in medical statistics and clinical trials to contribute to our research, consultancy and teaching activities, as well as developing the methodological work of the Plymouth based team.
