The closing date for two research associates in medical statistics at Lancaster University and the MRC Biostatistics unit is approaching soon (6. March). Applications are invited for two research associate positions on the MRC funded project “Designing and analysing multi-arm multi-stage clinical trials with one or more endpoints”. One appointment will be working at Lancaster University’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics, while the other will be located at the MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge. Both positions are funded for 3 years, with a start date of 1 May 2012, or as soon as possible thereafter. Appointments will be on Grade 6 (Lancaster, £23,811 – £31,020) with the starting salary depending on completion of the PhD and experience. In the early stages of drug development there often is uncertainty about the most promising among a set of different treatments. This project will develop a body of research in the area of multi-arm multi-stage clinical trials (MAMS) which aim to provide an efficient solution to this problem. The project is a cross-institutional initiative between the Statistics Groups at the Universities of Lancaster and the MRC Biostatistics Unit in Cambridge led by Thomas Jaki (Lancaster), Jack Bowden and James Wason (Cambridge). Applicants should have, or be close to completing, a PhD in Statistics or related discipline. Good programming skills are essential and experience with adaptive or group sequential trials is desirable. Informal enquires can be addressed to Dr Thomas Jaki ([log in to unmask]), Dr Jack Bowden ([log in to unmask]) or Dr James Wason ([log in to unmask]).
