Two posts in the Hub in Trials Methodology Research: Cambridge Band 3 Senior Statistician (£35,635 to £39,423) 5 Year FTC Band 4 Statistician (£25,622 to £28,346) 5 Years FTC or 3 year CDF The MRC Biostatistics Unit is one of Europe's leading biostatistics research institutions. It has recently been awarded a major MRC grant to develop a regional Hub in clinical trials methodology research. The Hub will: * establish an internationally competitive research programme in clinical trials methodology, with a focus on statistical issues; * establish strong collaborations with relevant applied research groups in Cambridge and the local region and interact with existing programmes in the Unit * establish an appropriate training and dissemination programme for methodology in clinical trials. * have statistical responsibility for a number of trials, but not for the day-to-day conduct of trials or data management. * capitalise on links with the Cambridge Cancer Trials Centre The grant is for five years, but with potential for longer term funding to follow. We now seek a senior statistician (band 3), and a postdoctoral statistician (band 4). The Senior Statistician will identify, develop and maintain new Hub collaborations by directly supporting trials work. There will also be the lead responsibility for developing the Hub's training programme and for the lead research role in trials methodology research. The Statistician will support Hub collaborations by having statistical responsibility for a number of trials. There will be the expectation to develop new statistical methods and to apply them to trial design and analysis. A recently qualified PhD will be offered a three year Career Development Fellowship.
