This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced medical statistician with a strong track record in applied clinical trials research to join one of the UK’s leading UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC) registered Clinical Trials Units (https://www.ukcrc-ctu.org.uk). The post is at the Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor level but for an exceptional candidate an appointment at the Professorial level may be considered.
Bristol Medical School is home to one of the UK’s foremost centres for research and teaching in population health sciences, with an outstanding track record in health services, public health, and epidemiological research, and the conduct and analysis of clinical trials of international importance. We provide a stimulating and supportive environment for academics at all stages of their careers. There is a great deal of collective experience of securing grant funding, and a strong track record of promotion of non-clinical and clinical researchers to senior posts. The medical statistics group is one of the largest in the country, that meets regularly to discuss work in progress, and has an outstanding track record of both methodological and applied research.
This post is funded by the University of Bristol as part of a strategic investment in clinical trials. The newly formed Bristol Trials Centre, which comprises the UKCRC-registered Clinical Trials and Evaluation Unit (CTEU) and the UKCRC-registered Bristol Randomised Trials Collaboration (BRTC), has a diverse portfolio of trials including studies evaluating hospital-based and community-based interventions, clinical trials of investigational medicinal products (CTIMPs) and non-CTIMPs. Currently, the Centre is running a range of trials in general surgery, cardiac surgery (adults and children), orthopaedic surgery, ophthalmology, emergency medicine, urology, primary care, mental health and public health. The Centre also has a portfolio of cohort studies in cardiovascular and other diseases. Improving the efficiency and quality of trial conduct through the use of innovative IT solutions and greater use of routinely collected data is a key focus.
The Centre has strong links with the two acute hospital NHS Trusts in Bristol (University Hospitals Bristol and North Bristol) and with the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership. Some studies managed by the Centre also form part of the Bristol Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) which was established in 2017. The Centre is also closely linked to the Bristol Royal College of Surgeons Surgical Trials Centre. As well as working with collaborators in Bristol, the Centre has collaborations with institutions both nationally and internationally.
Working with multidisciplinary research teams, you will provide leadership in medical statistics, clinical trial methods and trials methodology and play a role in the development of the Centre. Key strategic objectives are to increase the breath and number trials run through the Centre and to complete the harmonisation of working practices across the Trials Centre.
You will be expected to make a significant contribution towards establishing the Centre as an international centre of excellence in clinical trials and translational research, evidenced through an increased research portfolio and publications in high-quality journals. You will also contribute to teaching and administration for the School’s postgraduate taught programmes. Supervision of PhD students working on trials methodology topics will be encouraged.
You will have a PhD in statistics (or a related quantitative topic) and a track record of high-quality research in trials or trials methodology, with a portfolio of research grants and research outputs in major international journals.
