Research Associate (Biostatistics) School of Community Based Medicine Closing date: 18/07/2007 Reference: MHS/161/07 You will be working on a three year study in the Biostatistics Group in collaboration with the School of Mathematics and the Cardiovascular Science Research Group & Clinical Trial Unit (MRI) and funded by the UK Medical Research Council, to investigate aspects of the efficacy of propanolol and atenolol in reducing mortality rates. The project involves the development of statistical methods to quantify the direct and indirect causal effects of therapies, the application of methods to address the clinical and mechanistic questions and the dissemination of results within the medical research literature. Thus this is a exciting opportunity for a researcher who wants to use their methodological skills to address current issues in medical research. Your responsibility will be to manage the database, to develop methodology, to write software as necessary, to perform analyses, and to communicate the results to statistical and non-statistical audiences. You should have an MSc or PhD in Statistics, or equivalent, and experience of substantive data analysis. Knowledge of statistical methods for modelling longitudinal data is desirable as is an understanding of the problems of causal inference in medical research. Salary: £21,682 - £26,666 p.a.
