Dear Allstat
If you are currently involved with the teaching or administration for undergraduate courses in statistics (or a related discipline) then it would be great if you were able to make your students aware of the following opportunity:
The Centre for Sexual Health and HIV Research in the Research Department of Infection and Population Health at University College London, is currently inviting applications for a full-time summer internship (approx. 3 months) funded by the National Institute for Health Research (specific dates to be finalised with the successful candidate).
The intern will work on the analysis of quantitative data collected for Britain's third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles ('Natsal-3'), a national probability sample survey of sexual behaviour conducted in Britain between 2010 and 2012. This high-profile survey builds upon those conducted in 1990-'91 and 1999-2001. The study team, led by Professor Anne Johnson and Dr Cath Mercer, brings together researchers at University College London, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and the National Centre for Social Research, as well as Public Health England and the University of Manchester.
The aim of this internship is to provide the successful applicant with an understanding of how to undertake statistical analysis within a research environment and an opportunity to gain experience prior to completion of his/her undergraduate degree. The intern will:
* Assist with the writing of statistical analysis plans, and conducting data cleaning and analysis under supervision
* Maintain accurate and detailed documentation for all aspects of work undertaken
* Liaise with Natsal-3 co-investigators and collaborators
· Attend relevant in-house seminars and team meetings
The internship is suitable for students who have completed at least their second year of an undergraduate degree (e.g. statistics, psychology, or biomedical sciences) and have an interest in the field of applied statistics. Undergraduates from other fields (e.g. economics) who have quantitative skills and familiarity with statistics may also apply.
Remuneration: £3,500 for the internship (subject to National Insurance and tax deductions).
To apply please email a CV and covering letter explaining why you are interested in this internship, together with details of two academic referees (one of whom should be your personal tutor or equivalent) to Kay Stratton ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by 1pm on Friday 17th May 2013. Interviews are expected to take place on Tuesday 4th June 2013. For an informal discussion about the internship email Dr Cath Mercer ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
Many thanks,
Cath
