The University of Cambridge is seeking to appoint statisticians with a background in applied statistics or epidemiology to join the Cambridge Clinical Trials Unit (CCTU), located on the Addenbrooke's Biomedical Campus in Cambridge, and working closely with local investigators from the University of Cambridge, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Cambridge and Peterborough Foundation Trust to develop and deliver high quality clinical trials. The Unit has a diverse portfolio of over 40 trials, encompassing a broad-range of disease areas including oncology, cardiovascular medicine, paediatrics, surgery, vasculitis and radiology. One post available will be focused within cardiovascular medicine; other posts have a general remit.
The statistics group is currently supporting a number of on-going interventional and observational trials. The post-holder will be expected to develop and implement statistical analysis plans, handle day-to-day statistical issues relating to the study design, randomisation processes, interim and final analysis of studies, contribute to manuscripts for publication, and prepare abstracts, posters and slides for presentation of analyses at departmental, national and international academic meetings. The range and remit of studies in the CCTU covers all phases I to IV. The CCTU is embedded within the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre and so there is an emphasis towards translational research, which regularly presents novel statistical challenges. There exists a vibrant statistical community within the campus in which the post-holder will participate.
Applicants should have a higher degree; at least a Masters in applied statistics, statistics, epidemiology, or a related field in quantitative biomedical research. Experience in using a major statistical package (R, Stata or SAS) is desirable. Experience in working within a clinical trials context or similar would be desirable.
The post is full-time and the pattern of working is to be agreed with the Department. Salary is £30,395-£39,609.
Informal enquiries should be directed to: Simon Bond, Senior Statistician ([log in to unmask])
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.
