Medical Research Council CLINICAL TRIAL SERVICE UNIT & EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES UNIT (“CTSU”) University of Oxford MEDICAL STATISTICIAN (HEART STUDIES GROUP) £25,368-£31,048 (pay award pending) The Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit (CTSU) is one of the world’s leading centres for research into the causes, prevention and treatment of chronic diseases (such as heart disease and cancer). The large randomised trials and epidemiological studies often include collection of blood samples, allowing the measurement of phenotypes, such as blood lipids, and of genotypes. These studies represent powerful resources with which to explore in detail known important risk factors and to assess new potential factors. For further information about CTSU see www.ctsu.ox.ac.uk An opportunity has arisen for a statistician to work on the heart/vascular disease studies, particularly on genetic association substudies within these studies and trials. These very large studies each include over 15,000 heart disease cases and incorporate blood sample assays and genotyping. You will work under the overall direction of a senior statistician and will work closely with clinical epidemiologists. A relevant higher degree and experience of statistical analysis, preferably in SAS or a similar package are essential. This position is subject to pre-employment screening.
