Salary Grade 7 £34,189 to £39,609
Full-time fixed term contract until 14 April 2020 (with the possibility of extension)
We are looking for a statistician to join an established team working on a world-leading project, taking responsibility for many aspects of the statistical analysis for the project. This study will investigate the genetic, demographic, environmental and life-style factors that affect telomere length and establish the relationship between telomere length and cardiovascular and other age-related diseases.
Telomeres are structures at the ends of chromosomes and their length is a marker of biological ageing. In previous studies (see papers by Samani NJ and Codd V), we have shown a link between telomere length and risk of heart and other diseases. Building on this work we have been awarded a major grant by the MRC/BBSRC/BHF to measure the average telomere length of all 500,000 participants in UK Biobank (http://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/).
