The Centre includes a multidisciplinary grouping of clinicians working alongside epidemiologists, statisticians and social scientists, and our funding framework gives us a strong remit to increase research capacity by providing training opportunities and career support for early experience researchers. The Centre now wishes to appoint a Research Assistant or Associate (dependent on qualifications and experience) in Biostatistics who is interested in working with an established group of biostatisticians to develop our externally funded programmes of health modelling, in both methodological and applied research. These programmes include observational and clinical epidemiology studies, randomised controlled trials, qualitative studies and high quality computerised medical records from the Keele General Practice Research Partnership. Applicants should have a Masters (Research Assistant) or PhD (Research Associate) in a relevant discipline (e.g. biostatistics, epidemiology, other subject with substantial quantitative component) with an understanding of quantitative research methods and health care research.
